Michael Dunn (actor)

Michael Dunn (October 20, 1934 – August 30, 1973) was an American actor and singer. He inspired a number of actors that were smaller and shorter than most "average" people, including Zelda Rubinstein, Mark Povinelli, and Ricardo Gil.

Medical condition

Dunn suffered from medical dwarfism, a result of spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia (SED, subtype unknown), a genetic defect of cartilage production caused by a mutation in the COL2A1 (type II collagen) gene. This disorder, classified as a skeletal dysplasia, caused distorted development of his limbs, spine, and ribcage and led to early, widespread osteoarthritis and constricted lung growth. As an adult, he stood 3' 10" and weighed about 78 pounds (117 cm, 35 kg). During Dunn's lifetime, his condition was described by the nonspecific term "progressive chondrodystrophy," or alternatively as "achondroplasia", a term that now refers specifically to a skeletal dysplasia caused by a defect in the gene for fibroblast growth factor receptor 3.

Famous quotes by Michael Dunn:

"We believe investors are increasingly self directed."
"Jerry Garcia has an eclectic style, ... It's pretty abstract. Bright. Colorful."
"We have a long history of supporting statewide issues designed to improve the quality of life here in Colorado,"
"In the last few years, the largest portion of our political contributions have gone to statewide referendums, including FasTracks, T-REX and a Jefferson County school-bond issue, among others,"
"That has been the biggest issue, and people are asking what are you going to do to fix it?' ... The second issue, taking care of police and fire, is way down the list from the electric utility."
"They have a Trojan Horse that will play a critical role in igniting the market for this product, and when they do, we intend to be in that market with them."
"They'll see a figure like Princess Diana who many people feel great affection for and suck them in that way."
"Group or collaborative computing requires a walk-up-and-use experience. Fifty percent of meetings are impromptu, unplanned. So if you're planning on providing a collaborative technology, you'd better have one that people don't have to plan to use."
"You pick and choose the pages you want projected by dragging them into the main area, but there is no limit as to the number of pages that can be part of the session."
"It's very depressing to not know anything about yourself."
