520    "As one of the most famous faces of silent cinema, Buster 
       Keaton was and continues to be revered for his stoic 
       expressions, clever visual gags, and acrobatic physicality
       in classics such as Sherlock Jr., The General, and The 
       Cameraman. 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"--|cProvided by publisher.
