Herve Villechaize was a dwarf who played Tattoo in a Bond film and a character on Fantasy Island. Toulouse Lautrec was also quite short. His family was somewhat inbred and his fragile bones have been attributed to osteogenesis imperfecta, rickets (Vitamin D deficiency) and a variety of other conditions. Toulouse Lautrec probably had a rare inherited bone disease known as pycnodysostosis.

Did you see the Kirk Douglas, Tony Curtis movie, the Vikings? I need to review it again, but I think they omitted one of Ragnar's (Ernest Borgnine) sons, "Ivar the Boneless." It is said that Ivar was carried into battle on a shield and that he wreaked the most revenge on those who killed his father. The great founder of modern genetics, Victor McCusick, opined that Ivar had osteogenesis imperfecta.
