“Buster was assigned an office next to mine,” editor Gene Fowler, Jr., remembered. “One day, I heard such a commotion I went next door to see what it was. Buster was repeatedly throwing himself against our common wall. I said, ‘What are you doing?’ He said, ‘I’m writing!’ ”

“Keaton was a very quiet guy,” Collier said. “He loved the outdoors and loved the barbecue and loved the home and loved the kids.... Natalie was a very good mother, and the two kids were very well brought up. But Buster never stayed home very much. He was always out playing ball, or hunting, or fishing. He wasn’t a family man, particularly. Natalie had no personality, but I liked her very much.” 

- Buster Collier (Buster Keaton: A Filmmaker’s Life, James Curtis. pg.363)

[Gilbert] Roland... wanted to see Oscar Wilde's tomb at Pere Lachaise. 'It was abandoned, forgotten, he wrote, 'lizards crawled all over it, it depressed me, and at the Castiglione Bar with Buster Keaton we got drunk. Buster because he was having trouble with Natalie, and I because lizards crawled on Oscar Wilde's tomb.'

#James Curtis #Buster Keaton: A Filmmaker's Life #Buster Keaton #Gilbert Roland #Oscar Wilde #it's kind of crazy to think because the big statue that's there was relatively new at this time #like he had been dead for 29 years but the statue had been built a few years after the fact #I found out recently that HG Wells put a bit of money down for it actually #they weren't tight but he felt they had 'similar souls' or paths for their souls #anyways! can't stop thinking about Curtis's phrasing #this book is great but it's nearly 700 pages so you really have to commit #it's also REALLY heavy #like the weight doesn't feel proportionate to the actual size

James Curtis (4 July 1907 – 1977)

"Arthur could have his undivided attention. Tommy jumped at him and jerked him to his feet. He stood there, blubbering and slobbering. With his left hand clutching the back of Arthur's neck Tommy hit six times hard into the blood bespattered mask. His knuckles were sore. Arthur's eyes were closed now.

'Stop!' Shouted Dot. 'You're killing him.'

'Bleeding good job too. Poncefied son of a bitch. This'll teach him to ponce on girls and fix fights. I'm fighting bloody straight now.'

GOOD BIO.

Yes, I know it’s not new.  I skimmed it the first time, now giving the book a more thorough reading.  Get it.   Deep research, good attribution.

(We will not even show a pic of the Bad Bio.  You know the one.  Characterizes Keaton as a sub-literate bumbler.)

Woebegone Wednesday.

So did Terrence kill Burt's parents first in a car crash and adopted Burt after or did he choose to adopt Burt first and killed his parents to get them out of the way?

No Terrence first paid some of his Suave extremists to kidnap Burt FIRST when he was a baby and James and Leni were HORRIFIED that someone stole their kid and they have been putting missing posters and call the authorities to find him!

And Terrence lied to Burt saying that HE was his father…

When Terrence realized that Burt’s real parents were looking for him… he went to Las Vegas got in his yellow car and RAMMED Burt’s real parents into a wall as they were putting missing posters of their son…

“Six years later, Keaton was sharing an office with Sedgwick they called the Boars’ Nest. Buster had taken to embroidery to pass the hours, and was at work on a project when Philip Scheuer of the Los Angeles Times paid a visit. “Just a purse I’m making—for the missus,” Keaton explained, casting it aside.”

Finding the dean’s house was no trouble at all. Early in the new year, after it was discovered that Natalie was pregnant, Peg Talmadge moved herself in, joining two of her three daughters under Buster’s roof. “By April,” said Keaton, “the walls were bulging. Nat had said, ‘This Westchester Place house will be big enough for anything.’ Perhaps it wasn’t Sanforized. It had certainly shrunk.” Soon the hunt was on for Natalie’s “castle of dreams,” the home she described in her essay for the Evening Herald, something big and roomy with grounds for a vegetable patch and a flower garden. With her sisters and mother pitching in, a three-story Tudor-style mansion was located in the exclusive Westmoreland Place development, a gated community in East Hollywood where Mack Sennett was one of the residents. This rental property conveniently served as the dean’s home for Gabe Gabourie’s purposes.
