Auction History Result 7p0012 LON CHANEY SR 16x20 still 1920s close up of the legendary actor holding cigarette, uber rare! Date Sold 11/19/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Oversized Movie Still (measures 16" x 20" [41 x 51 cm]) (Learn More) Lon Chaney, Sr. was perhaps the greatest star of the 1920s. Surprisingly, he had minor roles for many years before becoming a major star in the late 1910s, when he became Universal's leading actor. His greatest roles were in silent horror classics. Some of his movies include: He Who Gets Slapped, Laugh Clown Laugh, The Unknown, Tell It to the Marines, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, London After Midnight, The Phantom of the Opera, and the Penalty. He only made one sound movie, The Unholy Three, which was a remake of his own silent version, and then sadly, he passed away in 1930 at the age of 47 from throat cancer (apparently just before he could play the starring role in "Dracula"!) Important Added Info: Note that MGM apparently really loved this great image of Lon Chaney, because it was used to promote several of his movies through the 1920s, and it was also the exact image used for one of their 22" x 28" color personality posters, and they also created some 16" x 20" oversized stills (like this one) which are incredibly rare, at least as rare as the 22" x 28" personality posters! Also note that this still measures 16" x 20" [41 x 51 cm]. Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
