Yes. I spoke with him once a month when he would pay that months paper fee. He was a nice elderly man living with his wife in a 3,000 sq. ft. house. I lived in WH before it got rich and before movie stars got rich. So I knew Keaton, Larry Fine (he introduced me to Moe Howard) who was living at the Motion Picture Country Hospital, and I went to high school with Jerry Mathers (the “Beaver”). In those days, there wasn’t the Uber rich that we now have. My high school had kids who were related to movie stars (Natalie Woods nephew comes to mind as she was at my graduation ceremony), and kids whose parents were mechanics and cops. And the top tax rate in 1962 was 90%. Nobody owned 700 million dollar yachts then. And life was good. Today, the home I grew up in now costs $15 million. And my dad was an electrical engineer. And we drove a 10 year old car.

I would say that because Buster Keaton was a genius who wasn't quite conscious of his genius, as most genius' are. It all happens in subconscious level. However, Buster had no ego other than the need to enjoy his creative activities, which makes him unique among geniuses. Chaplin was also a genius but well aware of his genius and enough ego to go with. This is why we love Buster Keaton more. Buster Keaton is a timeless genius. If he's born to our era, he would still find a way to express his creative genius.

He came into a Woodland hills barber shop. The place was called. "Del Prado mens hair styling. He was staying at the Calabasas home for retired actors. The time was 1965i if remember wright . He looked the same as he did in his movies. I didn't have time to talk to him. I was cutting hair at the time. I wanted to tell him that he was a talent of high art way before his time. Never forget that never smile of his. There will never be another one like him. He was the best.

My favorite will always be his awakening in a runaway brass bed blown by the wind. . . And the man with a cane & a slanted view of everything. I never learned the title of that movie, but it's the one where he's a newlywed husband trying his hand at assembling what amounts to a sears & roebuck kit house. At least two living generations remember the scene where the façade of the house falls on him, but he's left standing unharmed in an open window frame. In an interview where he was much older he said his director nearly had a nervous breakdown for allowing him to perform that stunt

The movie is "One Week" where Buster is building a kit house. I understand it was a skeleton crew when they filmed the "Steamboat Bill" scene of the falling facade. No one wanted to watch. Thank you for the comment!

The man was a genius and his physical ability was amazing. I heard Chaplin didn't script his movies, either. Most of the time, he would think up a funny gag, then shoot the before after stuff afterwards. His crew would be waiting in the studio. Charlie would walk in, look around, then say ''build me a _______ set." Like a circus set or some other location. Awesome video!

Chaplin warned him not to; on the other hand The General and Steamboat Bill Jr were very expensive and lost money. So he was in a bit of a bind. And his first film for MGM was The Cameraman, which was very successful but that was only because he made it away from the studio where they couldn't sabotage what he wanted to do. After that he lost control. Chaplin was fortunate in that he had his own studio and funded his films with his own money so he could do anything he wanted without interference.
