Nestled in the heart of Brooklyn at 1629 Bushwick Avenue, New York, John Bunny's Gravesite offers visitors a glimpse into the life and career of a man who shaped the foundations of modern comedy.
John Bunny (1863-1915) was a pioneering actor who, during his brief but impactful career, became known as the most famous person in the world. With over 200 films to his credit in just four years, Bunny captivated audiences with his boisterous charm and masterful pantomime, earning him the title of Hollywood's original "funny fat guy" even before the industry had fully taken root.
Our site pays homage to Bunny's groundbreaking work alongside fellow cinema pioneer Flora Finch, with whom he starred in over 160 iconic short films. Their collaborations, affectionately known as "Bunnyfinches," remain pivotal in the evolution of comedic cinema, emphasizing personal interplay over slapstick humor.
