Biography for Schlitze Date of Birth 1881, Yucatan, Mexico Date of Death 1961, (natural causes) Birth Name Simon Metz Nickname The Pinhead Mini Biography Schlitze was born in Yucatan, Mexico in 1881. His real name was Simon Metz, and his sister was also a pinhead. He was exhibited by Barnum as Maggie, the last of the Aztecs. Because the Mayans and other Meso-American cultures bound the heads of their elite to give them a cone shape, it is easy to see how Schlitze and the so-called Aztec children got their show names. For most of his career, Schlitze was dressed and exhibited as a girl, mainly because dresses simplified his bathroom needs. Schlitze was placed in an institution after 30 years in the sideshow business, where his health began to decline sharply. Mr. Sam Alexander, a Canadian promoter, took Schlitze back on the road, where he remained on the sideshow circuit until he died at age 80 in 1961. Trivia Although dressed and exhibited as a female, Schlitze the "pinhead" was, in fact, a man. A victim of birth defect microcephaly as evidenced by smaller than normal cranium. In the movie Freaks (1932), Phroso the clown compliments Schlitze on "her" new dress, offering to buy "her" a new hat. Schlitze is said to have loved hats and new dresses, as well as playing with string, playing games, dancing and singing. He had a relatively developed intellect for a microcephalic, although his lines in the movie Freaks are mostly incomprehensible. Schlitze could count to ten and taught himself to imitate the tone of director Tod Browning's voice. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0772396/bio | |
