If you see a photo with Rhea Perlman who's actually 5'0 you'll see Danny is shorter 78.145.78.139 (talk) 09:57, 11 May 2025 (UTC)

In the personal section there is a typo using though instead of through when discussing how he was introduced to a band through his son

The line: being introduced to his work though his son Jacob

Should be: being introduced to his work through his son Jacob ~2025-38139-17 (talk) 13:00, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

Quick Facts separation date

The Quick Facts drop down says that Danny and Rhea separated in 2012.

But the body of the article says that they separated in 2012, got back together in 2013, and separated again in 2017.

Shouldn't the Quick Facts reflect the 2017 date? And, if so, the same change needs to be made on Rhea Perlman's Wikipedia page. /Bruce/ [aka Slasher] (talk) 10:54, 3 February 2026 (UTC)

danny devito,height is wrong 1.52 m = 3.281 = 4.98 ft,1.53 m = 3.281 = 5.00 ft is right ~2025-43039-81 (talk) 22:57, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

 Not done: The metric conversion is done automatically by Template:Height. Your calculations are incorrect, as 5 feet (or 60 inches) is 1.524 meters which rounds down to 1.52. Day Creature (talk) 23:25, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

DeVito's height in the infobox issue

I have noticed that DeVito's height is in the infobox. I have written an essay about why trivial height should not be used in infoboxes, User:TyronesEditsPages/The issue with trivial height in infoboxes. This height listed in the infobox has a reliable source saying in an interview that he is 5'0 tall. I have thought of removing it because it's a bit trivial and his height is already stated in one of the body paragraphs, but at the same time his height is very notable in his career.

What are your thoughts about it? Thank you. TyronesEditsPages (talk) 23:46, 2 July 2026 (UTC)

I believe that Danny DeVito's distinctively short height has been quite relevant to his career as an actor and is therefore non-trivial.

Two roles likely connected to his height are Julius Benedict in Twins and The Penguin in Batman Returns.

He said in an interview with Hadley Freeman in The Guardian that "No one is going to forget the 5ft guy" regarding auditions.

There does however appear to be some doubt over the accuracy of this number. Freeman states in the aforementioned interview that she believed he may have been shorter than his self-declared height. It is possible that he could have rounded up to 5 ft for example. FootballPsychoAlan (talk) 08:04, 29 July 2026 (UTC)

That is a fair reason. Everyone knows him for his short height. TyronesEditsPages (talk) 08:06, 29 July 2026 (UTC)
