Stump the LAMBs Movie Trivia Quiz: Buster Keaton

Image via WikipediaSorry this post is a bit late. I have a cold and I've been busy sneezing and trying to get well.

Five LAMBs knew the answer to the last question. I'll bet there were even more who knew this Hollywood factoid, but people were probably distracted by the holiday.

Here's the last question again:

Name the actor/production company owner who was reputedly given his famous nickname by Harry Houdini.

The answer:

Buster Keaton

According to busterkeaton.com, Houdini was sharing the bill in a theater with Buster's parents when he saw six-month-old Buster tumble down a flight of stairs. He said, "What a buster your kid took!" and the future actor and production company head became known as Buster from that point on.

Here are the LAMBs who knew the answer:

Marilyn Ferdinand from Ferdy on Films

Dean Treadway from filmicability with Dean Treadway

Stacia from She Blogged By Night

Nell Minow from The Movie Mom

Rachel from Rachel's Reel Reviews

Here's the next question:

Name the movie that has the same title -- but not the same plot -- as a film about a soap opera writer.

To qualify, your answer must include the following:

1. The movie name
2. Your name
3. Your blog name
4. Your blog URL
