Make-up man Jack Pierce puts the finishing touches, a liquid solution of Fuller’s earth, on actor Lon Chaney, who is being made-up to play the part of the murderous monster- mummy Kharis. Chaney, incidentally is swathed in 400 yards of specially prepared gauze tape for the 1943 Universal production of “The Mummy’s Ghost”. Undated movie still. — Image by © Underwood & Underwood/CORBIS

1944 — 1944- It’s not so easy to be a monster. Make-up man, Jack Pierce, puts the finishing touches, a liquid solution of Fuller’s earth, on actor, Lon Chaney’s Jr., who plays the role of the murderous mummy, Kharis, in Universal’s, “The Mummy;s Ghost.” In addition to the obviously smelly “make-up”, Chaney was swathed in 400 yards of specially prepared gauzed tape. — Image by © Underwood & Underwood/CORBIS
