Died from cancer. His son Lon Ralph Chaney was killed in a car crash in 1992. (Source: available at Amazon Quinlan's Film Stars).HONORS and AWARDS:

Lon Chaney Jr. Quotes:
Pete Elm, Leader of Non-military Raiders:
[Rousing the Jayhawkers and Rebels] C'm'on, Rebs, stir up! This ain't no cotillion! C'm'on, boys, pack and saddle up! We're headin' south! Money in the sock, boys!
[Laughs]
Larry Talbot: I just got a line on Dracula and the Monster. A certain Dr. Lajos has been receiving a lot of electrical equipment - just the type necessary to revive the Monster.
Wilbur Grey: So what? I'm way out on an island. I got my own problems.
Larry Talbot: Yes, but listen... I believe you're in the house of Dracula right now!
Martin: You risk your skin catching killers and the juries turn them loose so they can come back and shoot at you again. If you're honest you're poor your whole life and in the end you wind up dying all alone on some dirty street. For what? For nothing. For a tin star.
