BILLY BARTY TURNS 75

STUDIO CITY, Calif. (Wireless Flash) -- Billy Barty, the most famous little person in the world, is celebrating his 75th birthday today (Oct. 25). The legendary actor says he'll spend the day doing "absolutely nothing" because he's not too big on parties. In fact, the last time he had a birthday party was 10 years ago when he turned 65. Although Barty is best-known for his movie and TV career, he says he really wanted to become a professional coach, not an actor. The 3-foot-9 Barty played football and basketball in college, and he even played second base for a semi-pro baseball team in Los Angeles. Although he's appeared in classic films like "Bride Of Frankenstein," he says the one thing he's most proud of is starting the Billy Barty Foundation, which helps other "little people" with scholarships and medical advice.
