Schlitze est né le 10 septembre 1901. Il était acteur. Il est connu pour L'amour chez les monstres (1932). Il est mort le 24 septembre 1971 en Californie, États-Unis.
Because his guardians had predeceased him since he lived to the age of 70 (longer than most micro-cephalics), Schlitze was buried in an
unmarked pauper's grave in Los Angeles County. When visitors to the
Find-a-Grave website lamented this on the message board in 2007, an impromptu
online fund-raiser was coordinated and a gravestone was purchased and
placed.
