Actor Len Chaney Jr. Resting on the Set of “The Wolfman”, 1941
The Wolfman is one of Universal’s most popular horror films. It tells the story of Larry Talbot Jr. a man who returns home to visit his estranged father, when he gets attacked by a wolf, and is cursed with lycanthropy. The actor, Len Chaney had to spend approximately two and a half hours getting his face put on, so it doesn’t come as a surprise that he’d need some rest.
Chaney described putting on the makeup as a nightmarish process, but it was nothing compared to taking it off. He said, “What gets me is after work when I’m all hot and itchy and tired… [I’ve still] got to sit in that chair for forty-five minutes while Pierce just about kills me, ripping off all the stuff he put on me in the morning.”
