@Iwillwait I appreciate your kind words.
I used several sources, along with my personal thoughts from the many books and articles I have read about him and movies in general.
My hope is that by these types of posts, young people who love cinema, will take a journey into its storied history and learn about what has gone before and watch some of these movies and the actors that were in them.
While Chaney is best known for Hunchback and Phantom, his filmography has a wide range of different characters. I find that many of them are sympathetic and arouse emotions, many times sadness, when I view them. I think that was his point. We tend many times to judge others based wholly on their appearance, and never allow ourselves to know them as human beings first.
