This Day in Buster…April 22, 1957

The Kingston Whig-Standard, a Canadian newspaper, prints a New York interview with Buster Keaton on the subject of his biopic, “The Buster Keaton Story.”  Whilst the interview was being conducted a bystander chided Buster for laughing in public.  “That’s all right,” he replied.  “I’m not working.”
