LON CHANEY AS BLIZZARD IN "THE PENALTY (1920)
Lon Chaney often suffered in order to achieve a realistic approach for the character he was portraying. For "The Penalty", he had his legs bound tightly behind him in a harness, inserting his knees into leather stumps devised as artificial legs with his feet bound at the thighs. This was a very painful ordeal which would cut circulation to his legs resulting in broken blood vessels.
