Leonidas Frank "Lon" Chaney (April 1, 1883 – August 26, 1930) was an American stage and film actor, make-up artist, director and screenwriter. He is regarded as one of the most versatile and powerful actors of early cinema, renowned for his characterizations of tortured, often grotesque and afflicted characters, and his groundbreaking artistry with makeup.[1] Chaney was known for his starring roles in such silent horror films as The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923) and The Phantom of the Opera (1925). His ability to transform himself using makeup techniques he developed earned him the nickname "The Man of a Thousand Faces".

Thanks for letting us know Maj Marty Hogan that April 1 is the anniversary of the birth of American stage and film actor, make-up artist, director and screenwriter Leonidas Frank "Lon" Chaney who is regarded as one of the most versatile and powerful actors of early cinema.
He certainly did a great job of playing cinematic monsters back in the days when monsters were relatively tame unlike Hannibal the Cannibal, slasher movies, etc.
Rest in peace Lon Chaney!
