Denny Welch · 38
died 28 years ago today
October 1st, 1960 — October 2nd, 1998Only in America. Under the name "Eartha Quake," this 800-pound former exotic dancer gained national fame when good samaritan Jerry Springer used his obesity as a cause celebre. They had to knock over a wall to get Eartha out of his house and into a hospital. What a touching story. Of course, this was all before he pled no contest to charges that he let three young boys watch porno movies at his place. We're not making this stuff up, folks.

July 18th, 1909 — October 2nd, 1994She starred in Life of the party, Gals, Incorporated and Hi, Good Lookin'! before she did Take it Big. Sounds like someone we would have partied with.
