Lo sconosciuto
Il gobbo di Notre Dame
Lon Chaney, pseudonimo di Leonidas Frank Chaney (Colorado Springs, 1º aprile 1883 – Los Angeles, 26 agosto 1930), è stato un attore, regista, sceneggiatore e truccatore statunitense. Fu uno dei migliori attori caratteristi della storia del cinema e sebbene sia ricordato maggiormente per le sue interpretazioni nei film dell'orrore dell'epoca del cinema muto statunitense, Chaney prese parte a oltre 150 pellicole, delle quali solo una decina possono effettivamente essere considerate appartenenti al genere (questi film, in quegli anni, venivano chiamati "dark melodramas"). Per la sua notevole abilità con il trucco, gli venne dato il soprannome de "L'uomo dalle mille facce" (The Man of a Thousand Faces). La sua vita ha anche ispirato un omonimo film biografico con James Cagney nel 1957. Wikipedia
