OK, when did Keaton die? The only book I have to hand says Jan 31, but we have it on the February 1 and the February 6 pages as well. Or maybe he died three times, he was a comedian after all. --Camembert

Googling seems to suggest that February 6 is definitely wrong, so I'm removing that link. Some pages have Jan 31, but more have Feb 1, so that's what I'm putting. If anybody knows better, please change. --Camembert
IMDB has February 1. So does http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=565, but the photo of his gravestone only has the year. -- Zoe

What do we do with trivia like: the windscene of Steamboat Bill was imitated in Witches of Eastwick, with the actual film playing on one of the TVs at the end. Cartoon Cluseau and Pink Panther also do the falling-wall bit in PP Strikes Again, arguably embedded within a doff to Sherlock Jr. (Cluseau stuck w/in the screen).

References?

The new content is good, but really needs some references. Proteus71, can you please provide some? - jredmond 20:35, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)
