I absolutely LOVE French Stewart so I was thrilled to learn that he’ll be portraying Buster Keaton in a new play about his life and career. The comedic physicality that Stewart showed as the kooky alien, “Harry” in 3rd Rock From the Sun should have propelled him to a whole other level of acting post-3rd Rock. Instead, as with most iconic roles, he was typecast as “the guy that used to play that alien dude with the squinty eyes.” Now, finally, Stewart steps out from the shadow of “Harry” and into a role that he was born to play.

Good luck to all involved in Stoneface: The Rise and Fall and Rise of Buster Keaton.

I was really excited to learn that Eileen Whitfield’s wonderful biography on the life and career of Mary Pickford has been bought by Poverty Row Entertainment for an upcoming biopic. Pickford was a woman ahead of her time, she had an amazing life and career and she deserves to have her story told on screen.

Of course, the benchmark film in this genre is Chaplin (1992), starring Robert Downey Jr. One of the best biopics ever made!

Congratulations to everyone involved!

While the Chaplin figure is pretty good, the Harlow is horrendous. Take a look at the range of celebrity and historical wax figures up for auction in the link below. I wonder if they’ll even get the opening bids…

Norman “Chubby” Chaney was only twenty-one years old when he died. The year was 1936 and he’s been in an unmarked grave ever since. Time to make that change. Please donate and be a part of getting “Chubby” a long overdue grave marker, even if it’s just one dollar. Everything helps!

Thanks 🙂

Many of Hollywood’s earliest stars were of the four-legged variety. I’ve long been fascinated with animal actors and I will most likely explore the subject in a future book. For now, have a read of the article at the link below:
