Joe Keaton is a Actor American born on 6 july 1867 at Indiana (USA)
Joe Keaton (July 6, 1867 – January 13, 1946) was an American vaudeville performer and silent film actor. He was the father of actor Buster Keaton.
Joe Keaton eut un réel impact sur le destin triomphant de son fils Buster. En effet dans leur pièce de théâtre, alors que Buster n'était encore qu'un petit enfant, le clou de chaque spectacle était appelé "le lancer d'enfant". Joe Keaton faisait tourner son fils dans les airs avant de le projeter tantôt dans les coulisses tantôt dans le public. Le petit Buster se devait de garder un visage impassible car à chaque grimace Joe Keaton s'écriait : "Ton visage!, ton visage!". C'est ainsi que dans sa future carrière cinématographique, Buster Keaton sera surnommé : l'Homme qui ne riait jamais.
En 1917, Joe Keaton commence à développer une sévère addiction à l'alcool. Son fils Buster, alors âgé de 22 ans, décide de quitter le trio pour se lancer dans le cinéma. Joe Keaton fera quelques apparitions dans plusieurs des films de Buster Keaton, mais il n'aimait pas le cinéma : "Quel scandale de voir des heures de travail projetées sur un drap sale, pour 10 cents!".disait-il.
Joe Keaton meurt, fauché par une voiture en 1946, en Californie à l'âge de 78 ans.
