I ve been having a bit of a Buster Keaton run recently There was a collection of his short films on Hulu that I was marathoning and I just became so fascinated with Old Stone Face And we all know that I love biographies of actors So I found this at the library and devoured it in a day To be fair there are a lot of photographs included so it made for fast reading I knew some things his beginnings in vaudeville his dedication to his craft But there was a lot about him that this book uncovered his addiction to alcohol his terrible two marriages and excellent final one and his struggles with the studio system in the transition from silent to talking films There are a lot of similarities to Charlie Chaplin but like Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire these two masters of comedy are so different it s like comparing apples to oranges I really appreciated the in depth look at his work starting with the short films where Buster Keaton basically had complete creative control and later his creative decline as the Hollywood system boxed Keaton in and didn t allow him the space to create like he had in the past I just felt so bad for him He as a genius and to be type cast as a clown and relegated to supporting roles when he was capable of so much is just so sad But much later in his life he had a bit of a Renaissance which I was glad to see His work should be reuired viewing for any aspiring film aficionado
