He was also ballyhooed as a "mystery man," and the ballyhoo for once told the truth; when Actor Chaney died in 1930. the film colony mourned an enigma. Reticent and secretive, Chaney, son of two deaf-mutes, shrouded his personality, veiled his past as adroitly as he camouflaged his own features under masterful disguises (he was the Encyclopaedia Britannica's expert on movie makeup).
