Kim Goodman

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kim Goodman is a woman who holds the world record for the farthest eyeball protrusion (0.47 inches).[1][2][3] She lives in Chicago, Illinois. One day, she discovered her eyeball-popping talent when she was hit over the head. Her eyeballs popped out much further than usual, and ever since that day, she could pop them out on cue, as well as when she yawns.[2]

She has appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman.[4][5]

In 2004, Goodman was included by Guinness World Records in their 50th anniversary list of the top ten "feats" of all time.

In the Malcolm in the Middle episode titled "Carnival" which premiered May 6th, 2001, Goodman was featured as one of the "circus freaks" displaying her abilities at the 18:06 mark.
