Dive into the absolutely wild origin story of silent film legend Buster Keaton with your favorite gossip queen, Vivian Steele. This juicy deep-dive reveals how a six-month-old baby's tumble down theater stairs earned him his legendary nickname from Harry Houdini himself, and explores the dramatic world of 1890s vaudeville that shaped one of cinema's greatest comedians. From being literally thrown across stages as a child performer to developing the superhuman physical comedy skills that would make him famous, this is the scandalous behind-the-scenes story of how young Joseph Frank Keaton became "The Great Stone Face." Packed with family drama, dangerous stunts, and the raw survival skills that turned pain into laughter, this episode serves up entertainment history like you've never heard it before—with all the sass, wit, and dramatic flair that only Vivian can deliver.
