Critic Roger Ebert wrote of Keaton's 'extraordinary period from 1920 to 1929, he worked without interruption on a series of films that make him, arguably, the greatest actor-director in the history of the movies. In 1999, the American Film Institute ranked Keaton the 21st-greatest male star of all time. Keaton was recognized as the seventh-greatest director of all time by Entertainment Weekly. He was best known for his silent films, in which his trademark was physical comedy with a consistently stoic, deadpan expression, earning him the nickname 'The Great Stone Face'. Buster Keaton (4th October 1895 - 1st February 1966) was an American comic actor, filmmaker, producer and writer.
