Recently, I made a video about legendary actor Lon Chaney, aka The Man of a Thousand Faces. I didn't plan it, but I made the video at the perfect time, because Lon Chaney was born in Colorado Springs, and I just happened to be visiting Colorado Springs! I couldn't squander the opportunity - I had to take a Lon Chaney Tour of Colorado Springs. Unfortunately, no such tour already existed, so I made it up myself ... and I'm taking you with me!
On this tour, we'll visit some of his childhood homes, his elementary school, and a few locations he worked at. Colorado Springs is a beautiful town, and I highly recommend you see it for yourself once it's safe to travel again! In the future, I'll be following this up with Lon Chaney's homes and haunts in Los Angeles, including when he worked with Universal filming the Hunchback of Notre Dame and Phantom of the Opera!

Thank you so much for creating this content!! As I fall deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole that is Lon Chaney, every bit counts. Im such a devote fan to this man, family, and legacy, and not being near Colorado currently this ties up a lot of loose ends, and is so satisfying to see on screen! Thanks again!

My favorite actor of all-time and a big inspiration for my art.

I live in Trinidad and have been in love with this legend since seeing "The Unknown" in 2006.

@EmilyGloeggler7984 Год назад

It’s cool to walk where Mr. Chaney spent his childhood and grew up.

@bojon0307 Год назад

I live an hour South of Springs. I’ve been to his boyhood home, but I can’t wait to use your tour guide to see everything else. Chaney was to me a master of his craft. Thank you for this!

@renkessler5476 2 года назад

What a great video. Thanks. You are so cute. I love how proud you are of your heritage.

@richardwoolley9869 2 года назад

Thanks very uplifting, lived 20 years c-springs, 526 e. Dale, 826 south tejon. Got mail there for a madeline Chaney I believe. Keep up the good works! Woolley

@mitch4798 3 года назад

Yes that is Pikes Peak. Super cool video. I live in Colorado Springs and actually have Lon Chaney tattooed on my arm

@pagewesley4074 Год назад

Wow, cool, that is my house in your video! Good job and cool tour. I have just a slightly different timeline for the house, but it still is really great.

@RickSheridanAcademic 2 года назад

Antonia Carlotta... You did a great job! I also live in Colorado Springs and have visited several of the Lon Chaney sites. There was also the Strumbel’s Barber Shop at 12 S. Tejon where Frank Chaney worked for many years.

You have a great thing going. You do an excellent job. Please dont let any weirdos or negativity distract you from the good job you're doing.

@TTM9691 Год назад

This was really beautiful because it was such a moment in time. It was during the pandemic, and it was the week you lost your grandfather. So thanks for taking us along with you, it was a special time beyond the interesting stuff about Lon Chaney.

8:57 That was a "I'm outta the house! What sweet freedom!" cartwheel if I ever saw one. Seriously, great work on Chaney, AC.

I had to make the most of every minute! 😂

@tammyevans7333 3 года назад

Great actor, this is so great, bet you had a ball!

@AntoniaCarlotta 3 года назад

Yes! For one, not gonna lie, it was just so nice to get out of the house. But the city was so beautiful, and it was so cool seeing all these places I knew Lon Chaney lived and worked. I'm inspired to make more of these videos!

@cadeevans4623 3 года назад

She looks like she had a blast tammy

@kyleliston3960 3 года назад

So glad that Colorado Springs recognizes Lon Chaneys role in the cities history. Lon Chaney Jr. Was born in Oklahoma City and most people here don't even know that. I wish some people would get on board with me at least making a memorial of some kind.

@mosaicfrog 3 года назад

Antonia - the last address you were looking for (536 E Boulder) actually was 521 E Boulder (which is now Palmer High School property) .. hope this helps (Thanks for visiting our beautiful town!)

@AntoniaCarlotta 3 года назад

Aahh so it was across the street! Thank you for letting me know! I think I remember seeing the school (or at least a field for sports) over there. I guess that means the house isn't there anymore?

@mosaicfrog 3 года назад

@@AntoniaCarlotta You are more than welcome - looked at the old maps and other info - it is a tad confusing and hard to sift through, the history definitely is fun to scour through! (Yup, no more house, sadly a high school took over that property, and many others) -- again thank you for your insight! :)

@cadeevans4623 3 года назад

I have to agree with you Antonia lon Chaney definitely was one of the greatest actors of all time and one of the best makeup artists to loved his makeup designs lon Chaney jr was great as well cool thanks for the lon Chaney tour i would love to go to Colorado springs and tour the lon Chaney tour great tour 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

@lightbox33 Год назад

Great content! Thanks

@hotpeach9 Год назад

Lon Chaney Sr was the best too. And his silent films.

I live next door to that house on Bijou and the owner, Ed is super nice. He actually lived at the end of the street and is working on the house. They had a house fire and had to move back into 509 W Bijou. He’s a great guy and would definitely let you inside to record!

@johncrowley6929 3 года назад

Kept me fairly entertained lol. More so with your acrobatics and theatrics; ) Im digging the feild trip excursion blogs now. So get out out more. LA should keep me even more entertained. HNY Beautiful girl,cheers!

@AntoniaCarlotta 3 года назад

Happy New Year! So much opportunity here in LA, definitely getting out for on-site "reporting" 😊

@jahimjauh-hey5653 3 года назад

I can tell you put a lot of work into this. Thank you for sharing your mini adventure!! You did a really nice job.

@AntoniaCarlotta 3 года назад

It was a lot of work, but a lot of fun too! ❤️

@avrilgwynboiteverte6441 3 года назад

I was so excited by your video, Lon Chaney is (along with Veidt) my favorite silent film actor, and being able to see the sites that have been relevant to him throughout his life while living in Colorado was beautiful! As I would have loved to be there too, I'm sure I would have cried with emotion. Thank you very much for sharing it and I sincerely hope one day to be able to live that beautiful experience that you had

@anthonymagnoni 3 года назад

Great video as always ! Thank you (from a french viewer !).

@richarddsquires 3 года назад

Thanks so much for doing this! My son and his wife moved to Colorado 2 years ago, and I’ve had it in mind to have them take me to Colorado Springs to see what Chaney sites still exist! Your video makes me want to go all the more! Hopefully, COVID will diminish, and I’ll have the chance to make that trip. By the way, I live in Rochester, NY where actress Louise Brooks spent the last years of her life. She’s also buried here.

There is a replica of Lon Chaney's makeup case on sale on eBay.

I live here in The Springs. I have to stop by these places. I always dreamed of being the next big film actor from The Springs.

Condolences on your Grandfather but that really was a lot of great innings. We should all be so lucky. Also, great cartwheel.

@jahimjauh-hey5653 3 года назад

Also sorry about your grandfather.

The picture at 13:17 is not Lon Chaney but Wrestler/ Actor Bull Montana.

@AntoniaCarlotta 3 года назад

oh my gosh, I think you're right! I have such a hard time distinguishing faces sometimes - especially in old pictures. I'm gonna go hide in a corner for a bit 🙈
