I sit on the set of FREAKS (thanks, Photoshop) and show new and rare photos, and try to sort out the facts from the fiction in the life of this famous sideshow freak. Many doubtful things have gotten attached to Schlitzie's story, and he deserves better. Schlitzie came on the scene helpless, without a history or even a real name, but he found a home and a family in the sideshow.
