Who Was Betty Lou Williams?

Betty Lou Williams was born in 1932 and passed away in 1955. She was the daughter of a poor black sharecropper. She always looked beautiful and shapely in her two-piece bathing suit on the circus sideshow stage, but growing out of the left side of her body was the bottom half of another body. This other body that grew from the left side had two legs and one misplaced arm.

Betty Lou Williams lived during the Great Depression in the United States. She used her deformity to make money and did fairly well economically.

She died at the age of 23. Many of her closest friends say that she died of a broken heart, jilted by a man that she truly loved and admired. However, doctors says that the more probably cause of her death was from many complications that she suffered as a result of an asthma attack, aggravated by the second head that she had hide inside of her body.
