STRANGE COUPLE - THE TOMAINI'S
Al Tomaini was a giant who claimed a height of 8'4" (though the Guiness Book of Records stated that he was 7'4"). Weighing 356 pounds (162 kg) and wearing size 27 shoes, Al spent most of his life as a circus giant. He was working with a circus at the Great Lakes Exposition in Chicago, in 1936, when he met his future wife, Jeanie Tomaini. Jeanie was born without legs and was only 2 ft 6 in (76 cm) tall. After retiring from the circus life, he and Jeanie settled in the circus community of Giant's Camp, Gibsonton, Florida.
