The Resume
(circa 1941- )
Resident of Salt Lake City, Utah
Holds record for longest fingernails
Combined length of 24 feet 7.8 inches
Longest individual nail: Left thumb, 31.5 inches
Stopped cutting her nails in 1979
Why she might be annoying
Those nails just look freaky.
When the Guinness Book of Records flew her to London, she had to travel first class to have enough room for her nails.
Her nails make it difficult for her to put on a heavy coat or open doors.
She was so upset when Guinness featured her in a 'Grossest Records' section, she contemplated suicide.
Why she might not be annoying
Despite the inconvenience caused by her nails, she takes care of her husband, who has Alzheimer's disease.
She convinced Guinness to remove her from the 'Grossest Records.'
At least she doesn't bite her nails.
