If you're not interested in the history of horror movies - and maybe even if you are - you might want to skip it. Its a sad end to a great career.

Lon Chaney Jr is the son of the greatest horror movie actor in the history of American Cinema. I'd say "the world" but Boris Karloff, Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, Christopher Lee, Peter Cuching... Lon Chaney was the forefather of the modern American movie monster. His son was a close second.
