Answer 9

There were 2 dwarfs that played the role. The first being Tamara De Treaux, the other Pat Bilon.

There was also a 12 year old boy, born with no legs called Matthew De Meritt.

They each took it in turns to play the part, depending on the scene being filmed.

One of the 3 died shortly after making the film. Although I'm not certain, but I think it was the young boy.
