Perhaps in an attempt to avoid following in his very famous father’s footsteps, Creighton (his actual name) Chaney was at various times a plumber, a meat cutter’s apprentice, a metal worker, and a farm worker. He began working in films upon his father’s death in 1930. He is the only actor to have portrayed all four of the classic movie monsters: The Wolf Man, The Ghost of Frankenstein (The Frankenstein Monster), The Mummy’s Tomb (Kharis, the mummy) and Son of Dracula (Count Anthony Alucard, Dracula’s son). Vintage pencil signature, “Lon Chaney,” on an off-white slip. Overwhelmingly triple matted and framed with twelve images of Chaney in various characters, including the Wolfman, Mummy and Frankenstein, to an overall size of 26 x 32. Tape remnant and missing top right corner, neither affecting signature, otherwise fine condition. PSA/DNA LOA and R&R COA. Oversized.
