One legged fancy dress - any ideas? - SV650.org

Littlepeahead · 27-09-11, 07:37 PM

On 5th November I'm off to a fancy dress party and the theme is 'Famous Dead People'.

I was all set to go as a pale white female Jimi Hendrix. But now a small spanner in the works. I have to have to undergo ankle surgery just before the party so I'll most likely be in a cast and on crutches.

So orgers, can you think of any famous now dead people who were on crutches during their lifetime?

p.s. The 6'2", male, bald Mr LPH is probably going as Amy Winehouse in ballet pumps, denim shorts, fake tattoos, heavy eye make up and a beehive.

Sarah Bernhardt - (October 22, 1844 - March 26, 1923) was a French stage actress, and has been referred to as "the most famous actress in the history of the world". In 1905, while performing in Victorien Sardou's La Tosca in Rio de Janeiro, Bernhardt injured her right knee during the final scene which required her to leap from a high wall. The leg never healed properly. By 1915, gangrene had set in and her entire right leg was amputated, confining her to a wheelchair for several months. She continued her career, and contrary to belief, without the use of a wooden prosthetic limb. Her physical condition confined her practically to immobility on the stage, but the charm of her voice, which had altered little with age, ensured her triumphs.

Any help?

Otherwise, get a parrot....
