Kurt Fritz Schneider (1902-85) was a member of the Doll Family, four siblings all affected by dwarfism. For more than forty years, starting in the 1910s, they toured the United States, appearing in circuses and sideshows.
Earles made a number of films, most memorably a starring role in Todd Browning’s Freaks (1932). His sister Daisy was also in Freaks, and they both appeared as Munchkins in The Wizard of Oz.
Earles had earlier made a brief appearance in Good News.
