Frances O'Connor (1914-1982) The Living Venus Demilo All of these are autographed by O'Connor herself on the back. Billed as "The Living Venus DeMilo" O'Connor born without arms could do pretty much any task that anyone else could do, including aiming a rifle and pulling the trigger. O'Connor also appeared in the Tod Browning film "Freaks" Postcard Back featuring O'Connor's autograph. (All of the cards I own are signed by her. It's actually pretty rare to find a Frances O'connor postcard that isn't autographed on the back.)                                             click thumbnails for additional items Back to the Freaks Home † Contact // All material ©Patt Kelley Illustration.
