American actor Michael Keaton (born Michael John Douglas) is quirky, creative, and handsome. In the film Night Shift, he plays a fast-talking ideas man named Bill Blazejowski opposite a nerdy morgue attendant played by Henry Winkler (1982).
Since then, he has effortlessly transitioned between film genres, ranging from drama and romantic comedy to thriller and action. He played additional comedic roles in Mr. Mom (1983), Johnny Dangerously (1984), and Beetlejuice (1988), and gained additional praise for his dramatic portrayal of Bruce Wayne / Batman in Tim Burton’s Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992).
Keaton was born Michael John Douglas on September 5, 1951 in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania. Along with English, Scottish, and German ancestry, he also has Irish ancestry. Prior to leaving Kent State and coming to Pittsburgh, Michael studied speech there for two years. Keaton discovered his desire to be in front of the cameras while working as a TV cinematographer for a cable station after an unsuccessful try at stand-up comedy. Several episodes of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood marked Keaton’s first television appearances (1968).
Keaton was the son of Leona Elizabeth (Loftus), a housewife, and George A. Douglas, a civil engineer and surveyor. His brothers are Paul, Robert, and George, and his sisters are Joyce, Pamela, and Diane.

The siblings kept their father’s surname, Douglas, unlike Michael.
Robert Douglas, Keaton’s older brother, began his career in Binghamton and Syracuse providing financial services. Then, in 1989, Chase Bank transferred him, and he moved his family to Pittsburgh. Dee was the spouse of Douglas, and the two were parents to Brian and Kimberly.
Additionally, Douglas ran Eagle Cleaners, a laundromat in Penfield, from 1989 until his sale in 2016.
There’s however no information about the two other brothers.
The Hollywood industry once employed two of Michael Keaton’s sisters. When he appeared in the 1995 film “One Good Cop” as an NYPD detective, his sister Pamela Douglas-Scichilone played his assistant. Pamela did, however, appear in just that one production. Joyce Douglas made an appearance in “The Watcher” the same year in a minor part.
Joyce and Pam are Pittsburgh residents, according to Democrat and Chronicle. Keaton praised his sisters and credited them for his affinity for working with women during an interview with Elle Magazine.
