I met the woman known as "The Monkey Faced Woman" at the AF museum in Dayton Ohio, I asked her if she was still in show business and married to the Alligator Man....Her husband had died,and she had retired to Florida..She was a very charming lady and I was glad I had decided to talk to her...She was a beautiful person and it didn't take long to see how beautiful she really was...I know some very lovely women who are hideous inside....

I recently watched the movie "The Elephant Man" which reminded me of this documentary. I remember watching this on HBO in 1982. I loved it so much I watched it every time it aired. It was great to see it again. Thank you for posting it.

@akissy , I find it interesting you would come to that conclusion after such a seeming uplifting and positive statement. No one likes to feel like an outsider. I just don't buy what you are selling.

@SpazChat cruel? they don't see it as cruel, why should you? Some even LOVE to be what they are, like Schlitzie, he got so depressed when they entered him into a mental hospital because he couldn't perform... So cruel? I think ti depends on how bitter you are. o.o
