A thread of the most famous 'freak show' performers in history
1. Myrtle Corbin, 'The Four Legged Girl' - Due to a condition known as dipygus, Corbin was born in 1868 with two separate pelvises situated side by side. With each pelvis, she also had two sets of legs. One set was average-sized, while the other was small. P.T. Barnum heard about her & decided to hire her for his show, introducing her to a large audience across America.
Following her successful circus career, Corbin married James Clinton Bicknell at the age of 19. She eventually went on to have five children, living a relatively quiet life in her later years. Corbin died of a skin infection just six days short of her 60th birthday in 1928.
