Bettie Lou Williams (1932-1954) , Freida Pushnik (1923-2000) Parasitic Twin and The Half Girl Pushnik was born without arms or legs, yet was able to do many tasks on her own. She could feed herself, write, type, and sew. Pushnik appeared in the 1963 film "House of the Damned", as well as 1981's Side Show. Betty Lou Williams had a parasitic twin growing out of the left side of her body. (as if you couldn't tell) It's said that she was the highest paid human oddity in history, earning up to $1000 a week. She put her 11 siblings through college and purchased a 260 acre farm for her parents. She died of an asthma attack at 22.
