  • I love him. He was so adorable and always got the ladies even when he was dressed as one. lol It's a crying shame what happened to him. :(

  • 90 years later and theres still 1 jackass out there that dislikes this INNOCENT man..

  • Fatty Arbuckle got Cary Grant his early work. Archie Leach as his name was then was a stilt walker and tie painter on Coney Island. According to George Burns Fatty gave Archie his first start....So much he did and so little we know.

  • And I"ve read that as a kid, young Archie Leach was a big Arbuckle fan. Thanks so much for this, jfs78.

  • Tragic story, thanks for posting.

  • nice name

  • Thanks for posting !

  • Just read the history of his life!! and Louisesplace is correct in her comments

    cheers up loader!!!

  • Please read ,"I Fatty". This is a great read about a truely talented man.

  • I've always noted Fatty had great energy to be a big dude. I wonder how he kept that.

    "Here goes, from memory - Fatty was the biggest star in Hollywood until..."

    ^^^ Well, considering the way he looks in the old vids -- gee...ya think? -- hehe -- just messin.' Like I say, he really was the guy to see, deservedly.

  • WHO KILLED VIRGINIA?

  • Her death was purely accidental and related to a pre-existing bladder infection. She was in very fragile health the day she went to that party. Her condition ironically could have been aggravated by all the jostling of her friends trying to help her after they found her sick in the bathroom. Or perhaps her health was aggravated by an (illegal) abortion. We'll never know for sure.

  • Comment removed

  • This guy got Bob Hope his first regular work. Before you judge this man, read about him first. He gets a lot of bad press of which is not deserved.

  • Not to mention that chance encounter w/ Buster Keaton in N.Y. If it wasn't for that meeting and Arbuckle taking him under his wing and mentoring him, we wouldn't have the great Keaton classics. Buster remembered his best friend during the scandal and helped him w/ his finances. Buster kept a picture by his desk for the rest of his life.

  • oh shit! this video just reminded me I have a big project due tomorrow about fatty!

  • Well, be sure to remember he hated the name "Fatty" and went by "Roscoe." I'm sure you already know that. Good luck!

  • heyy my last name is arbuckle!

  • Excellent! :)

  • Here goes, from memory - Fatty was the biggest star in Hollywood until, at party held in a hotel room in San Francisco - a young woman died from internal injuries, and it was alleged that Fatty had molested her sexually with a bottle. After three lurid trials he was acquitted, but his career was over. Fatty finally made a comeback, and on his first day on the set, he said he felt the best he'd ever felt in his life - he died of a heart attack later that day...

  • Thank you, Best in House.

    Roscoe Arbuckle made six shorts for Warner Brothers, and the first few were so successful there was talk of starring him in a feature. You're right that he died right on the heels of completing that sixth short.

  • I just hope and pray that Randoph Hearst is burning in hell...

  • What a tub of shit!

  • didnt he kill his wife???

  • First actor to make a million dollars in a  year.

  • My grandmother told about the Fatty Arbuckle scandel years ago.

  • Good stuff!

    What's the name of the tune at the start of the clip?

  • Arbuckle is greath Man

  • My great x3 grandfather, i would be rich as hell if it wasnt for randolph Hearst
