Son of 'Lon Chaney' (qv)., His career suffered in his later years due to alcoholism., Attempted an early career as a songwriter., He is the only person to have played all four of the classic movie monsters: _The Wolf Man (1941)_ (qv) (Larry Talbot/Wolf Man); _The Ghost of Frankenstein (1942)_ (qv) (The Frankenstein Monster); _The Mummy's Tomb (1942)_ (qv) (Kharis, the mummy); _Son of Dracula (1943)_ (qv) (Count Anthony Alucard, Dracula's son)., Pictured on one of a set of five 32 US commemorative postage stamps, issued 30 September 1997, celebrating "Famous Movie Monsters". He is shown as the title character in _The Wolf Man (1941)_ (qv). Other actors honored in this set of stamps, and the classic monsters they portray, are 'Lon Chaney' (qv) as _The Phantom of the Opera (1925)_ (qv); 'Bela Lugosi' (qv) as _Dracula (1931/I)_; and 'Boris Karloff' (qv) on two stamps as _The Mummy (1932)_ (qv) and the monster in _Frankenstein (1931)_ (qv)., 'Broderick Crawford (I)' (qv), who had played Chaney's role of Lennie in "Of Mice and Men" on Broadway in 1937, worked with Chaney at one time and shared a dressing room with him. Apparently, both men were such heavy drinkers that they'd get drunk together and take turns beating each other up., Well-known character actor 'William Smith (I)' (qv) started out as a child actor, and in an interview with a horror-film magazine stated that during breaks on the set of _The Ghost of Frankenstein (1942)_ (qv), Chaney treated all of the children on the set to ice cream., Father of two sons, Lon and Ron., From his father he developed skills as a makeup artist. He was not able to make much use of these skills due to strict union rules., Two sons with Dorothy Hinckley: Lon Ralph Chaney born July 3, 1928, and Ronald Creighton Chaney born March 18, 1930., His father told him he was too tall for a successful career in film., His favorite role was that of Lennie Small in _Of Mice and Men (1939)_ (qv). After a few drinks at parties, he would recite scenes from that film., Like his father, he often refused requests for autographs, though when he did sign he usually wrote "Luck, Lon Chaney," using a very large "L" as the first letter for both "Luck" and "Lon"., Was possibly not as tall as is often reported. According to Calvin Thomas Beck in "Heroes of the Horrors" (Macmillan, 1975), Chaney wore special shoes in _Of Mice and Men (1939)_ (qv) to increase his height by six inches. "In reality," Beck writes, "he was just six feet tall." Chaney said, according to Beck, that "from that film on, people thought I was much taller" (Beck, p. 235). Early publicity accounts from the 1930s describe Chaney as a strapping six-footer. In Gregory William Mank's books, Chaney is described as being 6'2" (though Mank reproduces press material for _The Wolf Man (1941)_ (qv) which describes Chaney as being five inches taller than 'Claude Rains' (qv), who was 5'7")., He was born prematurely, and the illnesses he suffered at the end of his life may have been partially the result of this. In fact, he was born, in his own words, "black and dead." His father took him outside to a ice covered lake, broke the ice and put him into the ice cold water to jump-start his breathing. However, according to his son Lon Ralph Chaney as well as Cleva's daughter by her second marriage, Stella George, the story is complete fiction., In 1930, lived at 735 N. Laurel Avenue, Los Angeles, while working as an advertising manager for a water-heater company., Is mentioned in the 'Warren Zevon' (qv) song "Werewolves of London.", Was an avid hunter/outdoorsman., He only officially played the role of the Frankenstein Monster twice: once in the 1942 film "Ghost of Frankenstein" and the again in a 1952 episode of the TV series "Tales of Tomorrow." But he played the role "unofficially" twice for Abbott and Costello, once in the 1948 film "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein," in which he stood in for Glenn Strange for one scene while Strange recovered from a broken ankle, and for a 1951 "Colgate Comedy Hour" where in a mock-opera sketch, Chaney appears (for some reason) in full Monster regalia and dances a Charleston with Lou Costello, then hangs around for the finale. Shortly before his death, Chaney complained in an interview that the serious horror film genre had been ruined by Abbott and Costello.
Death Notes:San Clemente, California, USA (beriberi, liver failure)
American characteristics entertainer whose profession be influenced (and habitually overshadowed) by means of access of that of his father, quiet motion watercolour celebrity 'Lon Chaney' (qv). The younger Chaney was born while his parents be by a dramatic pleasure passage, and he combined them onstage all for the early juncture at the age of six months. However, by way of a infantile man, even during the time of his father's fast on the aloft celebrity, Creighton Chaney work menial job to arm himself lacking calling upon his father. He was at a variety of times a plumber, a meatcutter's learner, a metal member of staff, and a sheep farm worker. Always, even in panorama of that, in was the fancy to nest within his father's footsteps. He studied makeup at his father's players, research abundant of the technique that exacting made his father leading. And he take lap role in cattle camaraderie. It was not until after his father's endorsement away in 1930 that Chaney go to pursue in films. His entrance were lower than his valid heading (he had be name for his mother, songster Cleva Creighton). He play digit of following parts before a originator in 1935 insist on shifting his name to Lon Chaney Jr. as a marketing manoeuvre. Chaney was mortified near the ploy and always despised the "Jr". appendix. But he was also vigilant that the famous name could lend a hand his career, and so he kept it. Most of the parts he played were unmemorable, often bit, until 1939 when he was given the role of the simple-minded Lennie in the film becoming accustomed of 'John Steinbeck' (qv)'s _Of Mice and Men (1939)_ (qv). Chaney's narration was spectacularly pitiful; indeed, it become one of the two roles for which he would always be maximum select remember. The other come within the subsequent year, when Universal, in hope of reviving their horror film franchise also as memoirs of their lovely silent star, Chaney Sr., stereotype Chaney as the tortured Lawrence Talbot in _The Wolf Man (1941)_ (qv). With this film and the slew of horror films that follow it, Chaney achieve a species of stardom, nevertheless he was never competent to bring out his latitude of surpass his father. By the 1950s, he was matured as a star in low-budget horror films and as a convincing character actor in more prestigious, big-budget films such as _High Noon (1952)_ (qv). Never as multi-use as his father, he fell more and more into cruel and mundane production which trade principally on his name and those of other fading horror star. His subsequently years were bedeviled by contamination and difficulties with alcohol. When he die from a extent of cause in 1973, it was as an actor who had spent his life span chase the fame of his father, but who was visibly valued by a international cluster of filmgoers who had never see his father.

Quotes:Director Reginald Le Borg: "His was a career and, I believe, a personality that resulted directly from trying to embrace and, at the same time, disown the career and image of his father.", "My father would be horrified if he knew I was making it in the pictures and that I'm not billed as Creighton Chaney.", I am most proud of the name Lon Chaney. I am not proud of Lon Chaney, Jr., because they had to starve me to make me take this name.
