Summary
The Man of a Thousand Faces, Mr. Lon Chaney. Despite being born to deaf-mute parents in 1883, Chaney excelled as a stage actor and owned a theatre company with his brother. He made his film debut in 1912, and began establishing himself as an ace actor and screen make-up extraordinaire, specifically in roles of menacing, macabre, and melancholy characters. 

In 1923, Universal Pictures President Carl Laemmle essentially created the modern horror film with his production of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Laemmle knew that the obvious star to appear as the misshapen lead could be none other than Lon Chaney. Known as a master of makeup, Chaney would be the only actor who could bring novelist Victor Hugo's tragic Quasimodo to life on the screen. 

In 1925, Chaney was hired once again by Laemmle to portray the disfigured composer in The Phantom of the Opera and was given total control to create the makeup for his soon-to-be legendary character. In 1928, the actor joined director Tod Browning in West of Zanzibar as Phroso, a magician out to exact vengeance upon the man (Lionel Barrymore) who paralyzed him and tried to steal his wife (Jacqueline Gadsdon).
