Ford?s Model T?s leading role in Hollywood

DEARBORN, MI ? The Ford Model T has had a long and storied Hollywood career, stretching from the silent-film era of Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd and the Keystone Cops to a drive-on role in this year's George Clooney film "Leatherheads." In part, the Model T's popularity on the big screen comes because the car and the medium emerged at approximately the same time 100 years ago ? and both became very popular almost overnight.
