  You have to be very handsome to be a star in Hollywood. Shown above is Lon Chaney.

  This is Lon as the Phantom of the Opera.

Go to fullsize image  Like Father, like son. Here is Lon Chaney Jr. as the Wolfman.

   She starred as the Bride of Frankenstein.

The hairdo of Elsa looks much like Marge Simpson's hairdo. Maybe a good shock of electricity might straighten it out.

thank you for showing me the man of a thousand faces.

Chaney, Lugosi, Chaney's son, and Karloff have all been honored with stamps. I would like to see a US stamp of Paul Morphy, a brilliant American chessplayer, but this has not happened yet. Also I think Laughton deserves a stamp, but this has not happened.
