Billy Barty, This is Your Life, 1960 TV, Mickey Rooney, Spike Jones 

I always loved Billy Barty. He was born 20 miles from my hometown. A wonderfully talented and nice man.

My dear, dear friend. I miss Billy so much

This man didn't need to be 6' tall to be a hero for the ages...& for all humanity. Co-founding Little People of America with Anthony Rossitti was a legacy that outshines even his brilliance as an entertainer. Then & now, he defines the term "Superstar".

I met Billy Barty in 1992 at the RNC being held at the Astrodome in Houston, TX. Wonderful man..

these people..like most of their generation knew how to be humble and act with class. We can all take a lesson from these people who knew they were blessed and very lucky to have such success

so enjoyed this what a lovely talented man

Wonderful star! ⭐💗🤩😍😁

A kind man, it comes through in this program and in all his performances. He had a natural quality which those with a full heart posess.

My dad and his family lived across the street from the Barty’s in Milsboro, Pa.

Billy was an amazing talent

He was an angel on this earth. Miss him. I'm surprised I can't find anything on Ruth Delfino.

He was always a hilarious actor in any movie or tv show. He

A little person, but a giant of a man.

I really miss him and his wife.

When I was 10, Billy Barty was at a carnival across the street from my house. He greeted me as if I were a close, personal friend and shook my hand. That's the kind of person he is.

Wow, what a down to earth little fella.

Classy gentleman

That flip he did was awesome! Thanks for posting.

Billy Barty appeared in some episodes of "Peter Gunn". What a fine actor he was.

He seemed like such a sweet man ❤

Poor ol' Spike is already feeling the ravages of all those cigarettes...Those quick gasps for breath in mid-sentence; I recognize that all too well from watching my mother suffer... Billy was an amazing comic actor, from the time he was a tyke...

Kind of strange to see Mickey Rooney standing next to someone shorter than he is.

This might be James Melton's last TV appearance, as he passed away the following year, and I can find no later appearances than this one. He was one of the greatest tenors of all time.

Just in case one would wonder, Billy wasn't married at this point. He would be married within two years.

Billy is a lot taller than his stature.

Does anyone remember him on the Saturday Morning TV Show “Dr. Shrinker”?

Poor Bill..He'd have to be on this show.

Thank you for sharing these rare This is Your Life episodes, do you by chance have the one profiling Steve Allen?

Have you ever been able to find “Matthew Labyorteaux.” From Little House on the Prairie’’s episode?! I would really love to see it but haven’t found it!

RIP,.Billy,the final Lollipop Kid that was surviving

Do people think the issue of Barty’s height was treated respectfully, or not? Interested to know, either way.

Isn't Coach Newmeyer the father of Julie (Catwoman) Newmar?

My mother once remarked that if Mickey Rooney was my age, we would have made a good couple. Mr. Rooney was a bit too old for me, sorry to say.

Amazing how italaians had to hide their name.

Wow, Spike looked terrible at 49 years old. Thats what happens when you smoke 5 packs of unfiltered Camels a day for decades.

How much money did Billy Barty have when he died
