Rondo Hatton (April 22, 1894 – February 2, 1946)

In honor of this years Rondo Awards (Be sure to vote befor March 10th!) here's my portrait of Rondo Hatton.

Hatton was born Davis Elkins in Hagerstown, Maryland. Interestingly, Hatton was reputedly voted most handsome student in high school before his face was disfigured by acromegaly. He worked as a journalist until after World War I when the symptoms of acromegaly (a disorder of the pituitary gland) begun to show.

Universal Studios attempted to exploit Hatton's unusual features to promote him as a horror star after he played the part of henchman Hoxton Creeper in their sixth Sherlock Holmes film, Pearl of Death (1944), but he died of a heart attack (a direct result of his acromegalic condition) in 1946 before getting a chance to really make his mark.

His famous face has become an icon of Hollywood cinema. His legacy lives on through such tributes as a character in The Rocketeer (1991) and The Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards.
