Fatty

The First King of Hollywood
Publisher Futuropolis
Beverly Hills, high and low.

In the early 20th century, Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle was Hollywood’s biggest silent movie star. The actor and director known for his imposing physique quickly found success. He shot short films with Chaplin and gave Buster Keaton his film debut… Until the day in 1921 when, during a party at a Hollywood villa, a young starlet was found dead. Fatty, with his ogre’s physique, was an ideal culprit. The big, jolly comic was soon seen as a monster. The case traumatized the movie business, and Buster Keaton called it "the day Hollywood stopped laughing."
