Fatty Arbuckle – From Top Actor to Lost in Obscurity

Most celebrities are always under sharp media and public scrutiny, with everything they do immediately taken note of by the press. Fatty Arbuckle found out the hard way how much attention he brought to himself when a woman passed on after attending a party he was hosting at his home.

While the silent actor was acquitted of all charges after a lengthy trial, he still found jobs hard to come by as most production companies wouldn’t touch him with a ten-foot pole. Sadly the headlines marked the end of his stellar career until Fatty’s demise in 1933 when he was only 46 years old.
