Yep. Also of note, a lot of people don’t know that Buster Keaton started out as a child star... in a vaudeville act with his parents. A very dark and violent (but, one sould assume funny) one, to the point his parents kept getting in trouble for seeming child abuse. He and his dad were the Homer-strangling-Bart of the turn of the century.

Vaudeville gave us many of our greatest film and TV stars, actors and comedians who had put in the hard hours onstage and learned how to work a room.

I’m going to have to watch that. I loved the Addams Family.

I played an Addams Family Broadway show this past summer. It was hilarious. Also, Carolyn Jones.

I was going to make an identical post, minus the gig reference.

Carolyn Jones made me feel funny inside...

Yesterday I learned (actually realized would be a better term) that Frank Gorshin played both the original joker, and the black and white guy from Star Trek.

Can’t believe I didn’t see it earlier.

Now, that I knew. He was also a better Riddler than Jim Carrey.
