Their daughter, Tulip, appears in the film, but Miss Vicki doesn't. According to Martell, Tim's poor decision-making would lead him back to where he began: living with his mother and performing as part of a circus (his father passed away in 1971).īy the 1990s, he ran the risk of becoming a footnote until a fateful encounter with a fan led to his third and final marriage, though Susan notes that the down-on-his-luck performer "looked like a stuffed animal that some kid has been playing with a lot for about 10 years."

His widow, Susan Khaury Wellman, characterizes his sexual orientation as half-gay, an implication that he leaned towards the bisexual end of the spectrum. ![]() Martell's 2016 biography Eternal Troubadour: The Improbable Life of Tiny Tim, while "Weird Al" Yankovic reads passages from his diaries, a combination of voice and subject that feels right. In Johan von Sydow's sympathetic documentary, Tim's cousin, Bernie Stein, remembers him gravitating towards music from an early age, possibly as a refuge from his strict immigrant parents (he was of Belarusian and Lebanese descent).įor his film, the director drew from Justin A. The eccentric performer was known for his long hair, plaid jackets, and a falsetto voice. Tiny Tim, born Herbert Butros Khaury, was a neo-vaudeville musician who described himself as a freak with a mixture of pride and defiance. ![]()
