From NPR's Sound of a Silent Star ~Quest for Sound Curator Jay Allison brings us Buster Keaton. Listener Bob Borgen has a tape of the silent film star at a party in 1962. Some friends gave him a ukelele and recorded his songs, stories and memories of Vaudeville. |
Silent Clowns Film Series ~A monthly screening of a variety of silent comedians' work. Keaton is well represented, check for details. Highly recommended. Eleanor Keaton, Buster's third wife passed away in October 98. She worked untiringly to ensure Buster would have his place in movie history and be remembered for the great comedian he was. She will be sadly missed. The Damfinos have a very fitting tribute on their site which is linked here. Classic Images ~ November 1998's issue has an article by Patty Tobias, co founder of the Damfinos, dispelling some of the myths that have grown up around Keaton. Books New and Recomended |
