KENNETH BAKER

Kenneth Baker, the person behind the legendary R2-D2 in Star Wars, stood at 3’8” tall. He used to join the circus and nightclubs prior to his Star Wars stint. Though his career was jumpstarted by his role in the famous movie franchise, he was also known for his appearances in several movies. Kenneth was in The Elephant Man, Time Bandits, Willow, Flash Gordon, Amadeus, and Labyrinth. Kenneth was happily married to actress Eileen Baker, who was also seen with him in the movie Wombling Free.

In recent years, the actor was invited to attend the premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but unfortunately, he was too weak to travel to the US, so he attended the premiere in London instead. Too bad, the actor suffered from a chronic lung condition that led to his death. Despite his miniature height, Kenneth must still have a giant amount of fortune left for his children. We’ll just have to ask whether he had acquired cash loans or not.
