Buster Keaton
Joseph Frank "Buster" Keaton (October 4, 1895 – February 1, 1966) was an American actor, comedian, and film director. He is best known for his silent films during the 1920s, in which he performed physical comedy and inventive stunts. Keaton frequently maintained a stoic, deadpan facial expression that became his trademark and earned him the nickname "The Great Stone Face." His innovative work in films such as The General (1926) and Sherlock Jr. (1924) solidified his reputation as a pioneer of cinematic techniques and visual storytelling. Despite a career decline with the advent of sound, Keaton experienced a resurgence later in life, earning an Honorary Academy Award in 1959 for his lasting impact on the film industry.
