Description

“The Monster who needed no make-up”

One of the sadder stories in Hollywood history is that of Rondo Hatton. He was born in 1894 in Hagerstown, Maryland and was a victim of acromegaly, a disease which causes facial deformities. This most likely led to his film career rather than the usual passion for acting and to be sure, he was not an exceptional actor. Still, he created memorable roles, most often as a character called "The Creeper." Rare vintage pencil signature, “Rondo Hatton,” on a beige 6.25 x 4.5 album page. Accompanied by an unsigned glossy 8 x 10 photo. In fine condition. R&R COA.
