"Joseph Frank Keaton was born into showbiz. His father was a comedian.
His mother, a soubrette. He emerged into the world during a one night
engagement in Kansas City. His father’s business partner, escape artist
Harry Houdini, inadvertently renamed him Buster, approving of the way
the rubbery little Keaton weathered an accidental tumble down a flight
of stairs."
I've had the pleasure of seeing a number of Buster Keaton's films on the
big screen with musical accompaniment, and they remain delightful even
today. He was famously a huge inspiration to Jackie Chan, who even
copied a few of Keaton's signature stunts in homage.
Via Jennifer Ouellette and Kee Hinckley.
