Eddie Carmel (March 16, 1936 – August 14, 1972) was an entertainer with gigantism and subsequent acromegaly resulting from a pituitary adenoma. Popularly known as "The Jewish Giant", Carmel was billed at the height of 8 ft 9 in (268 cm) and 9 ft 0.625 (276 cm) inches tall, though he may have more realistically been around 7 ft 3 tall.[1]{{cn|date=February 2019}} At the time of his death at age 36, he had shrunk several inches, due to kyphoscoliosis (curvature of the spine, a mixture of scoliosis, and kyphosis). Early lifeOded Ha-Carmeili (Hebrew: עודד הכרמלי) was born in Tel Aviv, Mandatory Palestine, to American-Jewish immigrants. An only child, he was raised in the Bronx, New York, after his parents Itzhak and Miriam (née Pines) Ha-Carmeili relocated back to the United States when he was a young boy. "Eddie" was his nickname from his youth, and Carmel was a stage surname. He was made famous by photographer Diane Arbus' picture Jewish Giant, taken at Home with His Parents in the Bronx, N.Y. in 1970. CareerDue to his condition, his primary work was in carnival sideshows, including appearances at Hubert's Museum in Times Square and a few films such as 50,000 B.C. (Before Clothing) (1963), and The Brain That Wouldn't Die (1962). He died at age 36, in Montefiore Hospital in the Bronx, New York.[2] References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.thetallestman.com/eddiecarmel.htm |title=The Tallest Man - Eddie Carmel}}{{deadlink|date=February 2019}} 2. ^{{cite news|title=Eddie Carmel, 500-Pound Giant At Ringling Circus, Dies at 36|url=http://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1972/07/31/90718277.html?pageNumber=30|accessdate=20 April 2016|newspaper=The New York Times|date=July 31, 1972|page=30}} External links
