List of polydactyl people

The following is a list of famous people who are believed to have been polydactyl:

• Anne Boleyn - said to have had eleven fingers, although she only had a double fingernail and a lump on her little finger[1] (http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a3_053.html)
• Charles VIII of France
• Winston Churchill
• Pacal the Great[?], King of Palenque - said to have had six toes on his feet[2] (http://alumni.imsa.edu/~elbel/art.htm)

The following people are sometimes mistakenly said to be polydactyl:-

• Marilyn Monroe - that she had six toes on one foot is an urban legend (due to two misinterpreted photographs) and is untrue. See http://marilynmonroepages.com/6toes.html for photographic proof.
