Buster Keaton
Buster Keaton was the 'Best Man' at
Roscoe's wedding to Doris Deane in 1925.
The Michelangelo of Silent Comedy, Buster Keaton has risen
over time to be regarded as the supreme comedy filmmaker of the 20th century,
his work standing up better than his contemporaries.
But more than this, he was Roscoe Arbuckle's friend, disciple, confidant,
ally, defender, and biographer. And Buster Keaton helped Roscoe out when
no one else in Hollywood could or would.
Here, Buster Keaton's name cannot be said
without the deepest, and warmest regards.
