Biography

edit

Keane began on stage in the 1910s, his first Broadway appearance being in the production of The Passing Show of 1914. He continued on the stage through the mid-1930s, appearing in both London and New York theater productions.[1] His film career began in 1930, and over the twenty-five years of that career he appeared in between 170 and 200 films.[2] At the very tail end of his acting life he made several appearances on the small screen.

Keane was married twice. His first marriage was to Muriel Inetta Window, an opera singer, vaudeville actress and 1913 Peacock Girl with the Ziegfeld Follies. They were married in approximately 1916 and divorced in 1920.[citation needed] After his divorce, he married the actress Claire Whitney in 1921, and they remained married until her death in 1969.[3] He retired in 1958, and died on July 2, 1981. He was buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Los Angeles, next to his wife, Claire (although her grave is unmarked).[citation needed]
