Louise was born Louise Dresser Keaton in Maine, USA. Louise was the only daughter of silent film actors Joseph Francis Keaton V (better known as Joseph "Joe" Keaton) and his wife Myra Edith Cutler (better known as Myra Keaton). Louise was the third and last child of Joe and Myra Keaton. Louise's height was estimated at 5 feet and 4 inches. Because Louise was the same height and dress size as Buster's sister-in-law, Norma Talmadge, she was often used as Norma's stand-in both on camera and for costume fittings. Louise was also the aunt of Buster Keaton, Jr. (Buster Keaton's son) and sister-in-law of Eleanor Keaton (Buster's third wife).
