Hilda Emma Schneider (April 29, 1907 – March 15, 1980), who went by the stage name Daisy Earles, was a German-born actress with dwarfism who migrated to the United States in the early 1920s.

Daisy Earles was blonde, pretty, and tall compared to her other sisters, and had a very well proportioned figure, for which she earned the epithet of a "miniature Mae West".

[2][3][4] Her brother Kurt and sister Frieda were the first to migrate to California in 1916 after they had met Bert W. Earles and his wife, who became their agents.

Kurt and Frieda changed their names to Harry and Grace to act in films and they adopted the surname "Earles" of their manager.

[1] She and her siblings Tiny, Grace, and Harry, performed as "Munchkins" in a song and dance sequence along the Yellow Brick Road, in The Wizard of Oz (1939).

], it is stated that Franz Taibosh, an Afrikaner, had a "crush" on her, but she was not interested as she was already married to her husband, who also worked as a chauffeur and security person for her family.
