Dwarf actress who made a popular pair with her husband, General Tom Thumb.
She was discovered by PT Barnum, who made her part of his collection of curiosities at his New York Museum.
Her wedding reception was attended by more then 2,000 guests, with the lucky couple standing atop a piano to be seen.
After Tom Thumb's death from a stroke, she remarried to Count Primo Magri, also a dwarf.
She travelled around performing plays based on Jonathan Swift's pint-size Lilliputians from Gulliver's Travels.
