Annie Hawkins-Turner, widely recognized by her stage name Norma Stitz, holds the Guinness World Record for having the largest natural breasts in the world. Born in 1956 in Atlanta, Georgia, Annie’s rare medical condition has brought her both international recognition and deep personal challenges.
From an early age, Annie was diagnosed with gigantomastia, a rare disorder that causes excessive breast tissue growth. By the age of nine, she was already wearing a 36D bra — something that made her stand out among her peers and, unfortunately, exposed her to teasing and misunderstanding.
A Life Shaped by Strength and Resilience
Growing up, Annie often faced judgment from strangers and classmates alike. “Every day I am taunted by strangers,” she once shared, describing the emotional toll of living in a body that constantly drew unwanted attention.
But Annie refused to let others define her. With the support of her late husband, Allen Turner, she decided to reclaim her story and embrace her uniqueness. Together, they built a platform that promoted body positivity, helping others see beauty in self-acceptance.
Turning Pain into Purpose
What began as an attempt to share her experience soon turned into a movement. Annie’s confidence and openness inspired thousands of people worldwide who struggled with body image issues. Her story became a message of empowerment — showing that self-worth should never depend on public opinion.
While Annie eventually found success online and built a comfortable life for herself, she remains open about the emotional struggles behind the fame. Despite being a proud mother of two, she has spoken candidly about the difficulties of living with a rare condition and the limitations it created.
A Legacy of Confidence and Courage
Today, Annie’s story is not just about world records or appearances — it’s about resilience, acceptance, and strength. Her journey continues to inspire discussions about diversity, body confidence, and the importance of compassion over criticism.
“I’m not ashamed,” Annie says. “This is how I was made — and I’ve learned to love myself completely.”
