The Fregoli Delusion

Leopoldo Fregoli was one of the most impressive actors of his day. Prior to his death in 1936, Fregoli was known as a “quick change” artist. He could not only change costumes and wigs between scenes with alarming speed but also had an almost superhuman ability to contort his body. Thus, he could alter his perceived age, size, and gender to convincingly play a young boy as easily as an elderly woman. Fregoli could mimic just about anyone, and this talented and malleable actor became famous for it. It is perhaps not surprising that when Drs. Paul Courbon and Gabriel Fail met with an unusual young patient in 1927, they had Fregoli on their minds.
