MICHU MESZAROS

It was in 1973 when Irvin Feld and Kenneth Feld, the famed American circus producers, found Mihaly “Michu” Meszaros in Hungary. After showing the “Ringling Bros.” his talents, arrangements were made to bring him into the United States. He was given the title, “smallest man in the world”. Outside of being a circus performer, he also appeared in the sitcom, ALF, as well as in other shows throughout the ‘70s and ‘80s.

Some of his films are H. R. Pufnstuf, Look Who’s Talking, Freaked, and his final film credit was for Death to Cupid. Michu had suffered several health issues for about eight years. In 2016, his manager made an announcement about his health condition after passing out on his bathroom floor. He passed away the night after the incident happened at the age of 76. In his honor, Hawthorne, California named their shortest street in the city “Michu Lane”.
