He was a very famous movie star back in the 1920's. He played in films such as "The Phantom of the opera", "The hunchback of Notre Dame", and the lost vampire movie "London after midnight".
He was known as "The man of a thousand faces" when he was alive because he had a make-up kit that he used to create his characters for his movie roles. This man was amazing.
After Lon Chaney died from throat cancer in 1930, his son, Lon Chaney Jr. became a movie star. One of the films he's membered for is Universal's "The wolf man(1941)".
Lon Chaney played in almost 200 movies. Only like 20 of them still exist today. A couple of them are incomplete.
