FORMER HOLLYWOOD ACTOR DIES AT
CAMARILLO HOSPITAL
"Hyman Binunsky, 65-year old dwarf movie actor, died yesterday at Camarillo state hospital where he had spent the past 12 years. The little man, who played parts alongside Rudolph Valentino and Lon Chaney, notably in "The Sheik" and "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" was admitted to the hospital 12 years ago for treatment of alcoholism and a stomach ailment. Upon recovery, he asked to be allowed to remain as a paying guest in the institution where he had made many friends. His estate estimated at $10,000, was willed to the Camarillo patients without funds and E. O. Allison, supervisor of attendants, was named administrator. Friends of the Russian born actor may view the body at the Mayr funeral home."
(From the Ventura Star, June 23, 1948)
Note: News article was incorrect; Mr. Binunsky was in "The Son of the Sheik" (not the original movie, "The Sheik").
