Lon Chaney Jr.  Wolf Man  Make-Up Hair - Horror
<B>Emile LaVigne "Wolf Man" Make-Up Hair.</B></I> A generous portion of fine yak hair used by make-up artist Emile LaVigne in order to transform Lon Chaney Jr. into the Wolf Man for the 1948 horror/comedy <I>Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein.</B></I> This hair comes from the full moon sequence in which Chaney actually morphed into the Wolf Man via special effects photography and gradual make-up application that lasted for hours, taking its toll on both the actor and the make-up man. It was Chaney's fifth appearance as the character -- "He was my baby!" said Chaney affectionately of the Wolf Man -- and the last time the werewolf would appear in a Universal picture until <I>Van Helsing</B></I> in 2004. In Excellent condition.<I>From the estate of Emile LaVigne.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Clothing & Costumes (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
