This Day in Buster…May 7, 1957

Buster Keaton & wife Eleanor attend the world premiere of “The Buster Keaton Story” in Perry, Oklahoma.  When interviewed by Oliver Lindsay Scott, Eleanor recalled a different theatre, “But we went to the first preview at a theater over in Glendale, and we practically crawled out on our hands and knees to get away, and just got away as quick as we possibly could, almost before the thing ended, it was so horrible.”

Donald O'Connor does a take-off on Vera-Ellen by pretending to knit a woman’s glove on the set of “Call Me Madam” in December 1952. 

Vera-Ellen went into a knitting routine every spare moment she got between takes on the Hollywood set.
