8 Foot Tall Woman!

8 Foot Tall Woman! Filmed in 1927 at the Chiswick Baths in London, this quirky item shows an apparently 8ft tall woman. What seems to be more obvious is the extremely fat belly on her male friend! Her height should probably be taken with a pinch of salt as a lot of the supersize humans in the British Pathe archive often are given over inflated heights. Music is sung by 1930s cabaret singer, Hildergarde.
