Buster Keaton -- The Eternal Career.

Again, Don Taylor, from Stalag 17, whose hand Dan shook as a child -- director Billy Wilder -- Buster Keaton, one of the "waxworks" in Sunset Boulevard.

This is four steps to Richard Lester, Gloria Swanson, Cecille B. DeMille and William Holden -- whom we already have at three steps from Stalag 17.  

Four steps to Charlie Chaplin.

Four steps to anybody in A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum: Zero Mostel, Phil Silvers and Michael Crawford.

Crawford gives us 6 steps to John Lennon, in How I won the War.  But that's not five-step Tournament Level.  We'll have to get Lennon another way.  Hmmmm......

John Kennedy is 6, too, and doesn't fit the handicap.   We'll do that one later.
