Chaney Jr.
I've heard Lon, Jr. made a few appearances with Johnny and Ed on "The Tonight Show". Anybody know if there's tapes of these floating around? I'd love to see 'em. "If I had a hidden microphone inside...

Thanks For the LAGUNA , Sue- that is an item I figured we'd never see -just a title in Jr's filmography and nothing more . What a surprise that the quality was so great ! Where in the world did you...

I never saw the Chaney LIFE OF RILEY pilot. However, I do have a DVD set of old TV sitcoms, and there's a LIFE OF RILEY Bendix episode in which Riley is seen appearing before a big crowd of people in...

Life of Riley is very frustrating. Broadly speaking, I know where it is, but I don't hold out much hope of seeing it. But if I even said more than this, it might nix even a faint trace of hope. Re...

Really neat to see Chaney having fun. What year was this? About 1943 or so? Interesting that Marion Carr was in the play-- later did Indestructible Man. Wonder if Chaney had anything to do with her...

Ah. What's interesting is, he is not paunchy, bloated, or craggy as he is in AC/F in 1948. Man, that must've been one rough year.

I assume they are both deceased now, but did anyone ever attempt to interview either of them about life with Lon? I believe he married Patsy in the mid thirties, so she would have been with him during...

Patsy was the subject of a very brief FILMFAX interview years ago; she didn't dish. The sons are dead. I believe Michael Blake talked to one of them but that's hazy in my memory.

Yeah, I think there's only the FM note, Filmfax piece and a few little press soundbites from Patsy. The interview isn't very useful -- she gives lightweight answers and obviously had no interest in...

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the thoughts. For some reason I was curious about Lon's children and what road they went down in life. They obviously decided to chose a different line of work from their...

Anyone else ever see the episode of The Whistler TV show that he was on? I have a copy on dvd-r. I like him in the Tales of Tomorrow episode he is in, but I wonder what he would have been like if he...

Yes I have The Whistler episode, I like it, reminds me of his Inner Sanctum movies in a way.

Lon Ralph Chaney was born in July 1928 (can't remember the date off the top of my head). Ronald Creighton was born in early 1930 (before Lon died in August of that year). Creighton/Lon Jr. married...
