| | Notes | B/W. Actor Lon Chaney's biography. His parents were deaf. The most horrific part is when Chaney's first wife is upset at finding both his parents are deaf. When she has their son she won't look at him thinking he will be deaf. Even when she knows he isn't she is increasingly unbalanced and eventually leaves both her husband and her son. Because Chaney at this time was so poor the son is put into a home. This spurs Chaney to go to Hollywood which led to his success and fame and he remarries. In Chaney's own short autobiography he completely (and deliberately) leaves out mention of his domestic life.
