Historical Data	Joseph Frank Keaton (1895-1966), better known as Buster Keaton, was an American actor, comedian, film director, producer, screenwriter, and stunt performer. Keaton was best known for his silent films, in which his trademark was physical comedy with a consistently stoic, deadpan expression that earned him the nickname "The Great Stone Face." His career declined with a loss of artistic independence when he signed with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, his wife divorced him, and he descended into alcoholism. He recovered in the 1940s, remarried, and revived his career as an honored comic performer for the rest of his life, earning an Honorary Academy Award in 1959. Many of Keaton's films from the 1920s remain highly regarded, with "The General" (1926) widely viewed as his masterpiece. In 1996 he was named the seventh-greatest film director by Entertainment Weekly, and in 1999 the American Film Institute ranked him as the 21st greatest male star of classic Hollywood cinema. Keaton died of lung cancer on February 1, 1966, aged 70, in Woodland Hills, California, and was buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Hollywood Hills, California.
