Famous Shrimps

Kit Harington

Tammy.

Collins was gay, no?

Seemed very queeny when he guested on Golden Girls.

Pepe, the King Prawn

Brad Pitt

That's crazy. He started growing at 46 after being a dwarf his whole life beforehand.

BILLY BARTY!!!!!!!!

How tall was Collins at the time of his death, any pictures. He must have gained significant height if it lead to his death?

Shrimp. Shrimps.

Warwick Davis of Willow fame, and other movies that have midgets like Narnia and Harry Potter.

I vaguely recall him in an episode of Idiot Abroad and they were making him the butt of a few jokes, which he didn't appreciate, poor guy. Does anyone remember this? I forget the details.

What about that Game of Thrones character that is always being shoved down our throats?

Sheena Easton.

Tattoo!

Peter Dinklage

What a terrible last name for a dwarf. Growing up I'm sure he was called "Peter Dinky" by the other kids.

The Lollipop Guild

That’s amazing, OP. I love jumbo shrimp!

I thought so too, r3. But then I thought the dwarf thing might be similar to men from the U.K. and throwing off my radar.

I want to be with a gay dwarf before I die

Zelda Rubinstein, who played the medium in Poltergeist.

Who was the guy who played Mickey on "Seinfeld"?

Shrimp?

Whatchu talkin' bout, Willis?

Michael Dunn who played Dr. Loveless on Wild Wild West. Also remember him from Ship of Fools.

Famed sex therapist Dr. Ruth Westheimer (4'7")

Veronica Lake (4'11")

The first (and only) all-dwarf Western!

Emmanuel Lewis

Well, well, well....

Scampi!

35 replies and no mention of DL fave, the late Josh Ryan Evans.

Here ya go

R34 - HAAA! What a great moment.

[quote]Warwick Davis of Willow fame

And his most famous role, Leprechaun...

"Brianna Renee," Little Women of LA

Stephanie Mills (4’9”)

Leslie Jordan is 4'11

The first midget I thought of was Michael Dunn from "The Wild, Wild West".

My fav is shrimp scampi.

"We need gay porn with sexy dwarfs."

No, we don't. I've seen a few porn scenes starring little people. Believe me, it is NOT erotic.

WWW's Michael Dunne got all the biggest midget parts in his day. But no one remembers him now. He cast a short shadow.

But he got to see Robert Conrad tied up and shirtless!

"WWW's Michael Dunne got all the biggest midget parts in his day. But no one remembers him now. He cast a short shadow."

I'm sure people remember him. They're showing reruns of WWW on MeTv, so millions of viewers see him. And he was on a memorable Star Trek episode "Plato's Stepchildren" and those Trekkies never forget anybody in those shows.

Delish!

DL's favorite slut, Armond Rizzo.

He's wasn't a dwarf at 5'3 but Mickey Rooney was probably considered a "shrimp." He may have been the most famous one of all.

Prince (5’2”)

Judy Garland, at 4'11, was quite a shrimp. An odd looking one, too. She had a weird build; no neck, barrel chest, long legs. Her legs were her best body feature but they looked like they belonged on someone else's body.

Tom Cruise

r9 If they were making fun of him I am sure he was in on it. He had a great show on HBO called "Life's Too Short" where he played himself and it was hilarious. You should check it out if you haven't seen it. Gervais, Merchant, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, even Sting are all on it. I was sad it wasn't renewed.

Pat Benatar

Michael J. Fox

Mary Lou Retton, 4'9' spunky dynamo!

Female gymnasts are practically all teeny tiny. All that extensive gymnastics training from such a young age stunts their growth. A female gymnast who is 5'0 is considered tall.

That whole story that Brent Collins, after living his ENTIRE life as a little person, suddenly started growing at age FORTY-SIX is just bull. It doesn't happen. There's no way he could've had Marfan syndrome. According to the link on his Wiki page, Marfan syndrome patients "tend to be tall and thin, with long arms, legs, fingers, and toes."

Someone claiming to be his good friend posted this at the link in 2012: "I was a personal friend of Brent, and the last time I had dinner with him was in the October, the 3 months before he died. He never mentioned anything, and he looked no different to me than he always did."

I'm thinking maybe he had sex with someone w/Marfan Syndrome, and the guy was just TOO BIG.

Estelle

You bumped a 3 year old thread to make a tasteless joke about a man's death, r60?

Brent Collins definitely had Marfan syndrome. From your own link, just above the letter you quote:

[quote]If you know what you’re looking at, you can tell that his arms and fingers were very Marfanoid in proportion to his body, and relative to the normal proportions of a dwarf. - GodsGadfly

That's an accurate observation. When they said he "grew rapidly from his short stature", they meant it. Brent gained roughly 6 inches of height in less than 3 months. He suffered a lot in that brief time before dying of a heart attack. He didn't know it was going to happen, none of his doctors knew what triggered the sudden growth, nor how to halt it. It was an awful way for that kind gentleman to go.

You can see what GodsGadfly is talking about in this clip:

FF this shit thread! I was promised SHRIMP!

This guy, Adam Rainer, was a dwarf who later got acromegaly and grew to 7'8". I wonder if all parts of him grew at the same rate??

General Tom Thumb.
