Buster Keaton Remembered

In a final tribute to the comedic genius of silent film icon Buster Keaton (1895-1966), his third wife, Eleanor, began Buster Keaton Remembered. Completed by film historian Jeffrey Vance (coauthor of Wife of the Life of the Party), it features an afterword by Kevin Brownlow (Mary Pickford Rediscovered). Illustrated with 235 black-and-white photographs, this gracious, unsentimental work reveals the public and private lives of a man who began his career in vaudeville, catapulted to silent-screen fame with elaborately choreographed stunts and ended his illustrious career as a star for the emerging MGM movie studio.
