Personally Signed by Kenny Baker Actor in Star Wars. The role of Robot R2 - D2 .


Kenny Baker was born in Birmingham in the UK on the 24th August, 1934. TheShafesbury Society in London helped me overcome my height difficulties; they are a Christian group which cares for young people with disabilities.
I started performing in 1950 at the age of 16 when I joined the Burton Lester's Midgets as a performer. Shortly after I became a DJ with Mecca Organization before joining Billy Smart's Circus as a clown and shadow Ringmaster. Later in my career I toured the country for 9 years doing panto and ice shows, where I met the queen. After leaving the ice, I formed a musical comedy act: The Mini Tones.
The role of robot R2D2, for which I seem most recognisable, came in the 1977 film Star Wars. I would go on to perform in all 6 Star Wars films as well as documentaries relating to them.
In 1978, as R2-D2, I put my footprints into concrete outside Graumann's Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, Hollywood.Certified Copy No of 115 Signed Project Officer

He was scheduled to fly next in May 1986 on STS-61G. This flight was one of several deferred by NASA in the wake of the Challenger accident . Fabian left NASA on January 1, 1986 to become Director of Space, Deputy Chief of Staff, Plans and Operations, Headquarters USAF.
Colonel Fabian retired from the USAF in June 1987 and joined Analytic Services Inc (ANSER), a non-profit aerospace professional services firm in Arlington, Virginia, where he is now President and Chief Executive Officer.
SPACE FLIGHT EXPERIENCE: Fabian first flew as a mission specialist on STS-7, which launched from Kennedy Space Center, Florida, on June 18, 1983. This was the second flight for the Orbiter Challenger and for the first mission with a 5-person crew. During the mission, the crew deployed satellites for Canada (ANIK C-2) and Indonesia (PALAPA B-1): operated the Canadian-built Remote Manipulator System (RMS) to perform the first deployment and retrieval exercise with the Shuttle Pallet Satellite (SPAS-01): conducted the first formation flying of the Orbiter with a free-flying satellite (SPAS-01): carried and operated the first U.S./German cooperative materials science payload (OSTA-2): and operated the Continuous Flow Electrophoresis System (CFES) and the Monodisperse Latex Reactor (MLR) experiments, in addition to activating seven Getaway Specials, Mission duration was 147 hours before landing at Edwards Air Force Base, California, on June 24, 1983.
