An Original Undated (probably 1940s) Vintage Theatrical Autographed 8" x 10" Movie Still (Learn More) Lon Chaney Jr. (son of the legendary Lon Chaney Sr.) was an actor from the 1930s to the 1970s. He was named "Creighton" when he was born in 1906, and throughout the 1920s, he worked at many menial jobs. But after his father died in 1930, he entered the movies, and was billed as "Creighton Chaney" until 1935, when a producer insisted he be billed as "Lon Chaney Jr.", and he reluctantly agreed. He did not have much success in the 1930s until 1939, when he magnificently played Lennie in "Of Mice and Men", and in 1941, he was cast in the lead role of The Wolf Man, and he repeated that role in several other Universal horror movies, and he regularly appeared in many horror and western movies in the 1950s in supporting roles, including a notable one in High Noon. He passed away in 1973 at the age of 67. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Lon Chaney! Condition: fair. There are many creases around the edges of the still and a few scattered in the image. There are several jagged tears in the middle left of the still. They go into the bottom of Chaney's autograph (in the "Lon" and the tip of the "C", and into the top of his shoulder, but not into his face or head). There are two old pieces of tape on the front of the right of the top border, and several pieces of tape on the back of the still, mostly on the back of the tears described above, and two that are on the back of the top of the left border. Please do not bid on this still unless you have carefully read the above, and have carefully looked at our super-sized image! Learn More about condition grades
