Johnny Eck, born John Eckhardt, Jr.
(August 27, 1911, Baltimore, Maryland – January 5, 1991, Baltimore, Maryland) was an American freak show performer born with the appearance that he was missing the lower half of his torso. Eck is best known today for his role in Tod Browning's 1932 cult classic film, Freaks. He was often billed as the amazing "Half-Boy" and "King of the Freaks".
