“Woman with the world’s largest natural breasts says she loves showing them off—but they even need their own bodyguards.”

For many people, living with an extraordinary physical trait would be difficult enough. For Annie Hawkins-Turner, however, it also brought international recognition. Better known by her professional name, Norma Stitz, she is widely acknowledged as having the largest natural breasts ever recorded—a distinction that has made her a well-known figure for many years. Her condition is the result of gigantomastia, a rare medical disorder that causes excessive growth of breast tissue.

Annie’s breasts began developing at an unusually early age and continued to grow throughout her life. Although the attention eventually led to worldwide fame, her journey was far from easy. As a child and teenager, she frequently endured teasing and unwanted attention. The immense size and weight of her breasts also made many everyday activities physically challenging, adding to the difficulties she faced.
