My great-aunt did.

While many of us who participate in this forum were too young to have seen Tatum in person, there is some video footage available in a recent DVD documentary The Art of Jazz Piano (MVD Visual) and the Storyville CD boxed set Tatum Art.

There's at least one youtube tv performance that hasn't been issued commercially on video to my knowledge, the solo version of "Humoresque" from the Spike Jones Show.
