rich5wolves Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I saw him at Celebration in LA. The poor guy is not looking too good these days. Ive got his auto from Autographica. He and his wife are great. Friendly and at that event allowed as many photos as you want to be taken with him and big Dave Prowse.

Fry Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 They have always been a great pair. But it really hits home on how old these guys are getting when you see Kenny taking a five minute break in a wheel chair with a medic and then see him wheeling around with an oxygen canister.

They're both in their 70's now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauron Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Fantastic, have seen him before and got a 10x8 but can get him to sign my poster now! Wooooo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bounty Hunter Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 I think Kenny is very brave to still attend these shows. Good of you, Kenny! See you in London soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaquist Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 After just visiting and reading a lot on the board I felt it was time to participate on this forum, mainly because I have a question regarding Kenny. He has a role in the movie Labyrinth as a part of the Goblin Corps. Does anyone of the members here know which one he is? I know there are a lot and that nobody may know which one he is, but it's worth trying. If possible can someone PM/email me a screenshot or photo if you know which one he is, because I really want to get an autograph on a Labyrinth photo. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathan Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I must say that I have seen and mate Kenny on a munber of occasions and yes hes a great guy, but every time Ive seen him his wife has been very moody and unpleasant! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosfer2 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 The only time Kenny wasn't pleasant to me was when I was asking for a signature on a pic that had already been signed by Anthony Daniels - seems the rumours about them not getting on may be true...!

That's why I did it the other way around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzlerjames Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Do we know why they hate each other? Is it because Daniels dismissed Kenny as being in all 6 films or is there some deeper darker reason. Although I've heard that quite a few of the regulars don't get on Mayhew and Baker for example although Mayhew and anyone seems more appropriate! I think it was Eric Walker (Mace in Ewok Movie) that complained about Peter being grumpy and off with his fans as well as his fellow co-stars.

Count Fooku Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 (edited) I'll be honest and say Mayhew won't go down as one of the greatest meetings of my life, of the two I think I could have held a better conversation with Chewbacca! He seems to have that big film star mentality but unfortunately he isn't one! I got Kenny Baker to sign an Item that Anthony Daniels had already signed so I don't think thats a hard and fast rule, but then again he was trying to chat up some girl in the queue behind me at the time so probably didn't notice Daniels' signature!

I got Tony to sign a picture that Kenny had previously signed and he had no problems. Maybe it's only Kenny who has an issue doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Fooku Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Thing is it can't be that rare for either of them to be asked to sign something that the other has signed so I can't see it being a really big deal. Its not like Prowse's thing with James Earl Jones which must be a bit rarer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard a German convention runner say Daniels told him that he "doesn't want to go on stage with a disabled person who looks like a freak". If thats true then I don't blame Kenny for disliking Daniels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
