List Of Polydactyl People

The following is a list of famous people who are believed to have been polydactyl: The following people are sometimes mistakenly said to be polydactyl:
  • Marilyn Monroe is believed by some people to have had six toes on one foot, but this is an urban legend (due to two misinterpreted photographs) and is untrue. See http://marilynmonroepages.com/6toes.html for photographic proof.
  • David Sedaris is sometimes claimed to have a sixth toe on one of his feet, but in fact does not. The rumour appears to have been started by the owner of an Internet fansite, solely to see if he could successfully spread a rumour.
  • Ontario premier Mike Harris was the subject of a similar rumour in 1997, after a newspaper obtained a photo of him as a youth in swimming trunks and barefoot, in which he appeared, through the same type of optical illusion as the Marilyn Monroe photographs, to have six toes on one foot. Several days later, he showed his foot to the press to prove that he only had the usual five toes after someone agreed to donate money to charity for showing his foot.
