Here's a two-page featurette from SHOW magazine (June 1957) that promo's James Cagney's role as Lon Chaney in MAN OF A THOUSAND FACES that was to be released in August of that year. It includes the apocryphal statement that the many body contorting techniques of Chaney's make up were partially to blame for his death (!).
Even in the 1950's, actors were trying to escape the shadow of the IRS. Here's a story on how they were trying to avoid high taxes by making a business out of their name and selling stock (!).
And, finally, here's a story about a Hollywood charity ball that included Jayne "Fully Packed" Mansfield as a cigarette girl (!).
