Koo Koo The Birdgirl
Now owned by Brandy 23" tall with feather . Cernit . 2 Part Resin . Wood Koo Koo, the Bird Girl was born Minnie Woolsey in 1880. She is best known for her fluffy role in the movie "Freaks" (1932) and then a career at Coney Island. Woolsey suffered from a rare skeletal disorder called Virchow-Seckel syndrome, which caused her to have a very short stature, a small head, a narrow birdlike face with a beak-like nose, large eyes with an antimongoloid slant, a receding jaw, large ears, and mild mental retardation. |
