Famous Short People Put an end to popups!

"White people" threads. "Gay" threads.
All remain untouched.
So back off, Jack!

Some of the people who are/were short, and how short they were/are may surprise you.

For instance, Danny Devito is 5'0", but so is Dolly Parton.
That makes other Dolly stats even more amazing.

Did you know Joan of Arc was 4'11" ?
So was Bonnie Parker, of Bonnie and Clyde fame.

Mother Teresa was 4'10".
Dr. Ruth? 4'7".

Want some perspective?

Luis De Jesus ("Ewok"-Return of the Jedi) 4'3"
Kenny Baker (R2D2 of the Star Wars movies) 3'8"
Eddie Gaedel (shortest pro baseball player ever) 3'7"
Olga Nardone ("Munchkin" from the Wizard of Oz) 3'4"
Charles Becker (mayor of Munchkinland-The Wizard of Oz) 3'9"

Josh Ryan (19 yr old "Timmy" on tv's "Passions") 3'2"
Herve Villechaize ("Tattoo" on Fantasy Island) 3'2" .

Lucia Zarate (shortest woman, Barnum Circus) 1'8" .

Indeed, "for his era"....but certainly the British and others joked about it. Anyways, thanks for the information.

And perhaps the shortest of them all, the late King Hussein of Jordan. Man was he short. Still, when you're king, nobody will dare point that out.
