The Brasnos

Olive and Gus Brasno were a famous dwarf song and dance team during the vaudeville days. They also appeared in a handful of movies, including major roles in Charlie Chan at the Circus. They were perfectly proportioned and, among other things, would do ballroom-style dancing on stage. They were offered roles in The Wizard of Oz, but turned down the opportunity because they were making more money in vaudeville. However, Olive's husband of 37 years, Gus Wayne, did appear in the movie.
