In this spirited biography, every aspect of Buster Keaton's astonishing life is explored, from his humble beginnings in vaudeville with his parents to his meteoric rise to Hollywood stardom during the silent era. Based on vigorous research of both Keaton and the film industry, it also delves into the dark sides of fame, such as Keaton's ill-advised businesses deals and alcoholism, to his unexpected resurgence in the 1940s as his contributions as both an actor and director were finally celebrated. This is a fascinating and uniquely astounding look at both the classic era of Hollywood and one of its most beloved stars"-- $c Provided by publisher 600 10 $a Keaton, Buster, $d 1895-1966. 650 0 $a Motion picture actors and actresses $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Motion picture producers and directors $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Silent films $z United States $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Motion picture industry $z Los Angeles $z Los Angeles $x History $y 20th century. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 17 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611023645.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117023113.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010025526.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230509010357.0 952 $l YWPD162 $d 20220922010130.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20220804024532.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220728022237.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20220630013836.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20220628011244.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20220601010837.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20220302015655.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20220302013441.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20220301010520.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20220217011233.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20220202012408.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20220202010542.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220127010033.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C492F52A7F3E11EC88F1A31640ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
