An Autographed 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" [14 x 22 cm] Notebook Page (Learn More) Billy Barty was a diminutive actor from the 1920s to the 2000s. He was one of the best remembered "little people" ever to appear in movies (and his face is instantly recognizable to movie buffs). He started in movies in 1927 at the age of 3, and he played Mickey Rooney's younger brother in the "Mickey McGuire" movies, and appeared in 160 movies (but he did not appear in "The Wizard of Oz", because he made no movies from 1938 to 1945). He was 3' 9" his entire adult life. He became disenchanted with Hollywood's treatment of little people, and he was the founder of "The Little People of America" in 1957, which sought to improve the treatment they received from movies. In the 1960s and 1970s, he appeared on many TV shows. Barty passed away in 2000 at the age of 76. Important Added Info: This notebook page has been personally autographed (signed) by Billy Barty. The page could be matted with a vintage or repro still and framed together to make a cool display! Note that this item was consigned to us by an individual who owned a company that made movies and videos with famous celebrities in the 1980s and 1990s. The owner of the company would have the celebrities sign items from their famous films, and he also had correspondence with many famous celebrities which he saved. In addition, he would sometimes ask celebrities he came in contact with if they had signed items from other stars that they would sell to him, and he purchased a number of items that way. He also would purchase unsigned items from the famed Larry Edmunds Bookshop in Los Angeles or from other reputable Hollywood book stores and poster shops (to have the celebrities sign), and while he was doing that he would also purchase some of their signed items. So all of these autographed items we are auctioning were either obtained in person, obtained from celebrities who obtained them in person, or obtained from reputable Hollywood book stores, and we feel certain that the autograph(s) on this item is authentic! Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
