THE MASTER OF HORROR LON CHANEY SIGNED BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOGRAP. Famous as the Wolfman, Lon Chaney, Jr., excelled as a character actor for five decades. Born Creighton Tull Chaney on February 10, 1906, in Oklahoma City, Chaney entered the world three months prematurely. The tale of his birth is as astounding as some of his "B" motion pictures. Reportedly, young Creighton was not breathing when he was born, and his famous father, Lon Chaney, plunged the baby into nearby Belle Isle Lake to resuscitate the lifeless baby. Chaney, Jr.'s grandmother, who lived in Oklahoma City, was a practical nurse and assisted the doctor. The father, in town on an acting tour, was said to have used a shoe box as a makeshift incubator. Creighton Chaney took up acting after his father's death in 1930. In 1935 he changed his name to capitalize on his father's success. He acted in over 170 films and earned his reputation as a star in low-budget horror films. A clear, crisp signature on an 8 x 10 black and white photograph from the Master of Horror, Lon Chaney Jr. Professionally Matted and Framed. Comes with a Letter of Authenticity from Guaranteed Forensic Authenticators, (GFA).
