Celebrities That Served In the Military Before Hollywood Fame

Buster Keaton

Buster Keaton was one of the top silent film stars, but he also was a military man. Buster served during World War I as a part of the American Expeditionary Forces in France. He was with the United States Army's 40th Infantry Division. During this time, he got an ear infection that permanently altered his hearing. His unit remained intact throughout his term due to late enlistment.
