Nice to have from capital of the entertainment industry and city where he died. Rare as such.
Complete 1st two sections only with a total 46 pages, nice condition.
Note: Villechaize had a form of dwarfism that caused his internal organs to be of average size, leading to chronic pain as they compressed against his smaller frame. To alleviate his discomfort, he often slept in a kneeling position to breathe more easily.
In the early hours of the morning, at his home in North Hollywood, California, Villechaize recorded a message expressing his despair over his health problems. He then shot himself in the chest. His longtime girlfriend, Kathy Self, found him alive but gravely wounded; he was pronounced dead at the Medical Center of North Hollywood .
