The Greatest Showman - Bearded Lady - Funko Pop! (827) - (Pop In A Box)
A bearded lady (or bearded woman) is a female, with a naturally occurring beard normally due to the condition known as hirsutism or hypertrichosis . Hypertrichosis causes people of either sex to develop excess hair over their entire body (including the face), while hirsutism is restricted to females and only causes excessive hair growth in the 9 body areas mentioned by Ferriman and Gallwey . Notable examples were the famous bearded ladies of the circus sideshows of the 19th and early 20th centuries, such as Barnum 's Josephine Clofullia and Ringling Bros. ' Jane Barnell , whose anomalies were celebrated. Sometimes circus and carnival freak shows presented bearded ladies who were actually women with facial hairpieces or bearded men dressed as women , both practices being lampooned by comedian and former circus performer W.C. Fields in the 1939 film, You Can't Cheat an Honest Man . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bearded_lady ------------------------------ The Greatest ...
