Take a Word Challenge - MOVIE STAR

 
 
 
The not too clear description above says "Keaton, Buster - 1895-1966.  American actor, vaudevillian, comedian, silent movie star, movie maker, stunt performer and writer".  He was one of the greatest pioneers of the film industry in all its many facets.
The image of Buster Keaton was found on Google Images.  The background was made from a scanned dictionary page, altered and coloured.  The ticket and film spool is from Kubivet (no longer working as a designer).
