Fred Ott's Sneeze

It looks a little like he was trying to snort something-yes I am in a silly mood.

Ah, well, there you go- a previous poster said he took some snuff!

looooooooooooool FIRST COMEDY

Mrs. Obama: A lower body like a Hippo, the arms of an Orangutan and the face of a chimp.

and yet... it's a million times better than the "movies" we call comedies from nowadays. (aka disaster movie, epic movie, scary movie, etc.)

Nope; Adolphe le Prince and his in-laws preceded him, in "Roundhay Garden Scene".

it's not the first comedy. Wasn't meant to be a comedy. It was just the first recored filming done in the US

How does that relate to kevin bacon?

I was having some fun with the name Edison and didn't want to spoil the Bacon answer for someone else...but if you insist...
Fred Ott starred in Fred Ott's Sneeze produced by Thomas Edison. Edison produced Patchwork Girl of Oz starring Hal Roach (as the Cowardly Lion). Hal Roach produced The Little Kidnappers starring Charlton Heston. Charlton Heston was in Any Given Sunday directed by Oliver Stone. Oliver Stone directed JFK with KEVIN BACON.

The key here was Hal Roach. He lived 100 years and 10 months. He worked in films for something like 76 years as either an actor, writer, director or producer. The jump from Patchwork Girl in 1914 (his first actual credit as an actor) to The Little Kidnappers in 1990 (his second to the last film) was the entire span of his career.
