Josephine Joseph
Also Known As: Josephine-Joseph
Biography: Josephine-Joseph (c. 1896/1897) was an American performer who was prominent in circus sideshows and the carnival circuits during the early 20th century. She is best known for her only film role in the Tod Browning, pre-code production Freaks in 1932. Her body was supposedly split down the middle, one side female and the other male. She claimed to be an intersex person ("true hermaphrodite" as it was called in her times), but there is no evidence to confirm whether this was the case; she may have just been a very skilled impersonator, in the style of Albert-Alberta Karas.
