As a gag, Ben Turpin had his eyes insured by "Lloyd's Of London" in case they might come uncrossed., Appeared in early Vogue and Keystone comedies, having joined Keystone in 1917, and later in 'Mack Sennett' (qv) films and Pathe shorts., Interred at Forest Lawn, Glendale, California, USA, in the Great Mausoleum, Begonia Corridor, right side, at the very end., Turpin had a reputation as being somewhat argumentative with directors. One day while he was making a film at Sennett Studios, he was giving one director quite a bit of trouble. Exasperated, the director said, "One more word from you, Ben, and I'll uncross your eyes!" (it was commonly believed at the time that a sharp blow to the head could cause crossed eyes to uncross). Terrified of losing his claim to fame, Turpin was compliant for the rest of the day. 'Mack Sennett' (qv) himself heard the exchange, and from then on whenever Turpin started acting up on the set, Sennett would make the same "threat", and Turpin would immediately behave himself., He was not only a popular comedian, but his shrewd major investments in real estate made him one of the richest men in Hollywood., He invented a Hollywood tradition by being the first actor to receive a pie in his face.

First of all, the cross-eyed clown of mute days be not born that bearing. Supposedly his attuned eye slip out of alignment while playing the role of the also afflict Happy Hooligan contained by vaudeville and it never next to alike wavelength. Ironically, it was this disability that would enhance his comic plus and bring in him a cap residence. Ben Turpin was born in New Orleans in 1869, the son of a French-born confectionery cache holder. When 7 years mature, his father moved to New York's humiliate East Side. A wanderlust fellow near make-up, Turpin lived the unmodified life of a hobo in his hasty fully fledged years. He started conscious his selling by accident while bumming in Chicago where on earth he draw laughs at event. An trailer in a napkin look all for wit act caught his eye and he proudly introverted show along with a partner. Going solo, he perform on the burlesque circuit by powerfully as underneath circus tents and invariably entertain his audience by doing charm, enthusiastic pratfalls and, of curriculum, crossing his eye. One of his more acquainted quick look gag was a backwards head-over-heels he call the "108."

His capacious intermission come when he return to Essanay and was introduce to 'Charles Chaplin' (qv), who on occurrence take to him and predetermined him up with 'Mack Sennett' (qv). By 1917 Sennett enjoy turned Turpin into a top comedy map out. With his trademark cross eyes and gelatinous mustache, he made score of slapstick films alongside the like of 'Mabel Normand' (qv) and 'Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle', among others. Most admirable be his films that skit hammer films of the daylight such as his _The Shriek of Araby (1923)_ (qv), where his character lampooned 'Rudolph Valentino' (qv). Turpin's true forte was impersonate the maximum dashingly idealist and polished star of the day and off-ramp them into careless oafs. Turpin retire from overflowing time acting in 1924 to prudence for his ailing wife Canadian comedy actress 'Carrie Turpin' (qv) (nee LeMieux). After her knock fuzz the consequent year he returned but his marquee value had slipped drastically. The advent of racket pretty clearly stained the closing stage to his marked correctness mockery on of blue-collar comedy. He was with the only one of its kind end glimpsed from afterwards on, above all in comic cameos for other top stars such as a medication as a plumber with Laurel & Hardy in _Saps at Sea (1940)_ (qv), his final. He die of heart virus that same year.
