Which one would you marry?
Both were handicapped, but equally charming, handsome.
Johnny Eck is the guy on his hands. He was born with very tiny legs, but they were never functional, so he taught himself to walk on his hands as a toddler. Incredibly talented, he drew, painted, drove race cars, trained animals... Plus, he was a very bright student.
Angelo Rossitto, however, mainly acted and sold newspapers. He acted for most of his life. He had dwarfism. He's incredibly cute, don't you think? Handsome.
Next post, I'll feature Prince Randian.
My brother borrowed Tod Browning's 1932 film "Freaks", and I liked it so much I watched it twice before returning it to the library. I don't understand why the UK banned it for more than 30 years, it is a great film, very eye-opening, very inspiring. The plot is simple, but the cast is extraordinary.
We need to be reminded every once in a while, how lucky we are to be physically well-formed, how lucky we are to be able to afford the things we need and want, and just to be satisfied with who we are and what we have.

Only through humility does one gain wisdom.
