Lon Chaney (The Phantom Of The Opera) 1925
Lon Chaney's pioneering work as The Man Of A Thousand Faces™ demonstrated nothing if not a selfless dedication to his art. As the Phantom, his self-designed makeover involved fish skin, glue, egg membranes draped over his eyeballs and a wire-and-rubber device which sliced into his nose until it bled. But while he may have treated make-up application as an extreme sport, Chaney's ability to elicit sympathy for his monsters remains his greatest achievement.
