The Man of a 1,000 faces.

I am speaking of Lon Chaney,

I'm not sure if many are as aware of him now a-days,
(after all he was an actor in the "silent film" era.),
but for any movie fan I definately encourage seeing some of his works.



One of my favorite preformances by him is the silent film:

Laugh,Clown,Laugh



This movie almost brings a tear to your eye, It descibes a clown who's in love with a woman. But the woman happends to be in love with anouther man. It focases on the happiness and tragedy in love. Quite a wonderful film.

Turner Classic Movies has just released a DVD with a collection of Lon Chaney works.

That's a link if anyone is interested in some of the older cinema works.

What are your thoughts on this magnifisant actor?

The guy was amazing.

To bad that his film "London After Midnight" was burned inside MGM vault so it will never be seen again...
