[b]HERVE VILLECHAISE[/b]

Until he was sixteen, Herve and his parents spent a small fortune on medical and hormonal treatments in both France and the U.S. They were not successful, and Herve never grew more than 3’9". When Herve was forced to recognize the truth, he went on a binge that lasted for several years, drinking heavily, chasing (often successfully) girls and living in the Latin Quarter, where he tried to paint like Toulouse-Lautrec. As a result, he developed a liver condition. Herve killed himself in 1994.

[b]KENNY BAKER[/b]

For Kenny Baker, R2D2 was a welcome, if uncomfortable, part. Although the lovable robot was often remote controlled, whenever "Artoo" needed to show some personality, the 3’8" Baker would step right in, literally. "They just pulled the top off and put me inside. I’d just have to put all my energy into wobbling along,"says Baker, who weighed the same (70 lbs.) as the contraption.

[b]GEN. TOM THUMB[/b]

Without a doubt, the most famous midget in history was General Tom Thumb (born Charles Stratton in 1832.) Born to normal parents who were ashamed of him, he was kept isolated until P.T. Barnum offered the family $3/week to take him on. They both made millions with an act based on Tom’s tiny size. Tom died in 1863, leaving his wife, Lavinia Warren (a midget who was part of Barnum’s second tour), nothing. The free-spending Thumb managed to run through both his fortunes without his wife being any the wiser.

[b]BUSHWICK BILL[/b]

Born in Jamaica, Bushwick Bill moved to New York, then in 1987, tired of NYC and anxious for a change of scenery, moved to Houston. While he was a dancer around the Houston club scene he met James "Lil’ J" Smith, Rap-A-Lot Records CEO. Bushwick became a member of the Geto Boys in 1987. "My former name was Bushwick Motherfucking Bill. My new name is Dr. Wolfgang Von Bushwickin the Barbarian Mother Funky Stay High Dollar Billstir. I had to upgrade it to show some expansion and to show everybody who the biggest Geto Boy of all is.

I think people should be allowed to keep midgets as pets.
They are a gift.
They were put here by god to make the people laugh.

Oh yeah. That midget who used to play with Kid Rock before he died.
THat little dude cracked me up.
