Description

Seldon-seen signature as “Creighton Chaney,” his real name

Perhaps in an attempt to avoid following in his very famous father’s footsteps, Creighton (his actual name) Chaney was at various times a plumber, a meat cutter's apprentice, a metal worker, and a farm worker. He began working in films upon his father’s death in 1930. He is the only actor to have portrayed all four of the classic movie monsters: The Wolf Man, The Ghost of Frankenstein (The Frankenstein Monster), The Mummy's Tomb (Kharis, the mummy) and Son of Dracula (Count Anthony Alucard, Dracula's son). Seldom seen signature using his actual name. Pencil signature and inscription, “Loads of luck to Maebelle, Creighton Chaney,” on an off-white 5.5 x 4.5 album page. In fine condition, with a bit of light soiling. R&R COA.
