His life gave him so much depth to tap into for his many roles. He knew what he wanted to convey and he had a well of emotions to carry off any role he undertook. Not sharing his private life, nor being seen often in public, allowed him to re-fuel and enjoy life and nature . Not many actors are able to do this. How tragic that his life ended so early. What a lovely man.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575280877085021446.post-3346216987534970722013-02-21T21:02:36.713+01:002013-02-21T21:02:36.713+01:00There's a very good documentary about Chaney o...There's a very good documentary about Chaney on NetflixAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06613286718132217288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575280877085021446.post-29116407843310279702009-04-22T13:36:00.000+02:002009-04-22T13:36:00.000+02:00Christopher:

It's like The Exorcist - everyone connects the film with that little Tubular Bells tune of his, even though it's not played very much in the film. It reaches you!<br /><br />Keith:<br />Oh, you're so kind! Reactions like yours really makes the time spent on the blog worth its while! Thank you!<br />I've been ill with a high fever for a couple of days now, so I haven't been able to write anything. I'm feeling a little bit better today (I can at least stand up now!), so I will start writing on the next Chaney post. Stay tuned!Lolita of the Classicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03596876234508882958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575280877085021446.post-76859223596671684662009-04-21T15:44:00.000+02:002009-04-21T15:44:00.000+02:00Hey Lolita.

The Killing Fields Soundtrack is quite disturbing even for him, though!
