Peter Robinson (born April 8, 1873; credited professionally as The Living Skeleton or as The Cigarette Fiend, and The Thin Man) was an American theater and sideshow art performer, perhaps best known for his only film appearance in the Tod Browning cult film Freaks, with a lengthy career in the carnival circus circuit at Coney Island and with Ringling Bros.
He had a career in that genre in the vein of circus thin man Isaac W. Sprague and Artie Atherton.
He was married to fellow sideshow entertainer Baby Bunny Smith, a 467-pound (212 kg), circus fat lady.
He was the son of Abraham Robinson, a native of Vermont, and Canadian Victoria Hebert.
He said that he had a normal childhood and appearance until his early teens, when his weight began to drop precipitously.
