A clown bleeds greasepaint and breathes sawdust. But the tears he cries are little bits of his heart.
If you know me, you know what a huge admirer I am of American Cinema legend, Actor-Director-Makeup Artist-Writer Lon Chaney, his works and his methods/philosophies. And you probably know of my experience with circus and clowning, and that I’m an actress-writer. So, you can imagine how I about fell out of my chair when I saw this from my extremely talented friend and fellow Chaney lover, Saul Alvarez.

JerseyFest Debut
“Laugh, Clown, Laugh”
From the skilled hands of veteran garage kit sculptor and multi-talented artist Mark Van Tine, I bring you Lon Chaney as Tito Beppi/Flik, the circus clown from the 1928 silent film, “Laugh, Clown, Laugh.“ This beautiful sculpt captures perfectly every detail and amazing likeness to Chaney. The casting comes in three resin parts, with a mini-poster to affix to the front of the circus tent drapery base.
Look for this stunning model kit’s debut at JerseyFest 2018 on September 7, 8 & 9. Pricing to be announced soon. This guarantees to be a great addition to the other spectacular Chaney busts available through Silver Screen Icons.
