A century ago, at the birth of movie superstardom, silent film star Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle was at the center of a scandal that rocked Hollywood to its core. He was accused of a murderous sex crime so depraved that it turned the nation not only against him but against Hollywood itself. It led to the trial of the century, and a test of whether America's elite veil of privilege could be pierced by the long arm of justice. The tide of public opinion that followed was so strong that it made Hollywood change the way Hollywood did business – at least on the surface. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including sexual assault.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Did the story they tell in 1961 actually happen – or was it an elaborate hoax? While no one can say for certain, they evidence does seem overwhelming that what they say they experienced as terrifyingly real. *** A woman lives day to day with an entity. *** A strange – and eerie - story of a boy and his dog. *** A girl sees a black-eyed man on a train… and she's the only one who can see him. *** Only the name of Jesus Christ pushes away a terrifying entity in one girl's bedroom. *** The crew completely vanished from the ship with no explanation yet to be found. You'd think I would be talking about the legendary Mary Celeste – but there is another ship that suffered a similar fate. *** In 1921, Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle was the highest-paid actor in the world. But before the year was out, he was accused of a crime so monstrous that he would never appear onscreen again. *** A cabin in the middle of the woods, in the middle of the night, a strange figure barely visible in the darkness. It could almost be the setup for a cliché horror movie if it wasn't real for one man. *** Insanity, tragedy, and death… and that's just the start of what you'll find at Loftus Hall, Ireland's most haunted residence. *** People around the world are reporting an odd phenomenon of walking and suddenly striking what can only be described an an invisible barrier, like a transparent wall. Are the reports true? And if so, what is causing this?SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…***Links and attributions for the stories in this episode have been lost.

What a CreepSeason 26, Episode 1Fatty Arbuckle: The First Movie Star ScandalThe Fatty Arbuckle scandal in the 1920s significantly impacted Hollywood and the career of comedian Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle. He was accused of raping and accidentally killing an aspiring actress named Virginia Rappe during a party he hosted. After three trials, Arbuckle was acquitted, but his career suffered, and he was blacklisted in Hollywood. Rappe's cause of death was never properly explored, and her legacy is that of a victim who was devoured by her craving for adulation and fame. Trigger Warnings: SASources:·         Smithsonian: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/the-skinny-on-the-fatty-arbuckle-trial-131228859/·         The New Yorker: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2021/10/11/fatty-arbuckle-and-the-birth-of-the-celebrity-scandal·         YouTube “Hats Off Entertainment” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsrIlnZwzHw·         BBC News: https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-14640719·         Thought Company: https://www.thoughtco.com/fatty-arbuckle-scandal-1779625·         History.com: https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/silent-film-star-arrested-for-murder·         Found SF: https://www.foundsf.org/index.php?title=Fatty_Arbuckle_Scandal·         Forty Quarts of Liquor by Dave Zuda·         The Casual Criminalist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08G18wZ12Sk·         Virginia Rappe Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Rappe·         Room 2019 by Greg MerrittYou Must Remember This: Fatty Arbuckle (2018)  ·         Crime Library: https://web.archive.org/web/20150210053306/http://www.crimelibrary.com/notorious_murders/classics/fatty_arbuckle/3.html·         People Vs.

But when the Labor Day holiday is over, a twenty-six-year-old starlet named, Virginia Rappe is dead—seemingly suffering injuries while in Roscoe's room at the St. Francis Hotel. Regardless of his guilt or innocence, he would ultimately pay the price in scandal and cancel culture.

Dana Stevens joins Elizabeth and John to discuss Camera Man: Buster Keaton, the Dawn of Cinema and the Invention of the Twentieth Century. Her fantastic new book serves as occasion to revel in the work and working world of Buster Keaton, that "solemn, beautiful, perpetually airborne man." Although packed with fascinating tidbits from Keaton's life, Camera Man is much more than just a biography. It performs its own airborne magic, lightly traversing topics like the crackdown on the use of children in vaudeville, the fluidity of roles before and behind the camera in early Hollywood and the doors that were briefly (ever so briefly) opened for female directors. Among other treats, Dana unpacks one of Keaton's early great "two-reelers" One Week ( a spoof of brisk upbeat industrial films) and his parodic "burlesques" e.g. of Lillian Gish. People, Films, Books and Ideas in the conversation include: Roscoe ("Fatty") Arbuckle: got Keaton his start in early films like Butcher Boy, reportedly filmed the day Keaton first stepped onto a set. He said "Buster lived inside the camera." "Cinema of Attractions." a phrase coined by film historian Tom Gunning to describe the way the early years of cinema (1895 to 1913, more or less) achieved success by way of gags, stunts, special effects and other dazzling technological innovations--rather than plot or character development,. John and Dana rave about Keaton's last great film (age 33!), The Cameraman (1928) and deprecate the later silents (with a silent caveat for the pancake scene Grand Slam Opera). Mabel Normand: Arbuckle's longtime collaborator and briefly a rising director--Charlie Chaplin kneecapped her at a crucial moment in her career. Dana singles out for special praise Fatty and Mabel Adrift (1916) starring Luke, the first canine movie star. Singing in the Rain as a MGM-friendly myth-making explanation for Clara Bow's eclipse (and the famous vocal failure moment: "I can't stand 'im") Steamboat Bill Jr. ( 1928, Buster Keaton feature) "Keaton's most mature movie" says Dana.

Ash, doing an Old Hollywood case? Groundbreaking. This one will have you spiraling through a whole slew of different emotions. It's the case of Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle and Virginia Rappe. Back in the 20's Roscoe Arbuckle, known as “Fatty” in his movies, was one of the most beloved actors. He and three of his friends decided to throw a Labor day prohibition party at a hotel in San Francisco. It was supposed to celebrate one of Roscoe's latest roles and be a great time with all kinds of young and happenin' celebrities but by the end of the night one party-goer, a rising star Virginia Rappe, would end up incredibly ill and would later die in the hospital from something that may or may not have happened to her at this party.

Nancy and Sarah launch by talking about a slavering press desperate for sensational stories — but we're not discussing today's climate, we're talking about the 1920s, when Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle became the doomed villain in a crime he never committed. We contemplate boobs (again), the greatness of Mariska Hargitay, the cruel online backlash against Amber Heard, and why we don't like gender tribalism (or tribalism of any kind).  We heap admiration on Joan Didion, along with the journalist who recently wrote about her, Caitlyn Flanagan. One of the best-loved journalists of her generation, Flanagan also became a feminist bugaboo thanks to provocative stories on abortion, working moms, Woody Allen, topics she tackles with humor, moral precision, and tremendous style. Nancy and Sarah find themselves divided on the virtues of sentimentality, but they're both big on the drug that is falling in love.You asked (Ed: did they?), we deliver: First true-crime book under discussion will be The Snakehead: An Epic Tale of the Chinatown Underworld and the American Dream, by Patrick Radden Keefe.

A discussion about and look into the stories, the locations and personalities that came together to make the silent film, "He Did and He Didn't" in 1916. Filmed in Fort Lee, New Jersey and starring Mabel Normand, Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle and Al St. John.

Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle was one of the most popular silent film comedy stars of the 1910's. After signing a big contract in 1920, it seemed that Arbuckle was on top of the world! That is until a wild party ended in the very suspicious death of a young actress named Virginia Rappe. Tabloid papers took the story and ran with it....without a true investigation. Faced with sexual assault and manslaughter charges....was Arbuckle able to prove his innocence? This week Ray teaches Rob about the insane tactics of William Randolph Hearst's newspapers, a woman named Bambina Maude Delmont made a speaking tour of defaming Arbuckle, how Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton stepped up for a friend in need, and why a jury felt it necessary to apologize to a defendant.  And most importantly how over 100 years later, Hollywood Tabloid Gossip still goes mostly unchecked.

On this week's episode, April sheds light on the first true Hollywood scandal: The life and trial of Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle.

Det er 100 år siden den første Hollywood-skandalen, som sendte pressefolk i hælene på stumfilmstjerna Roscoe «Fatty» Arbuckle. Han var filmbyens best betalte, da en kvinnelig skuespiller ble funnet på hotellrommet hans i elendig forfatning.

In this episode we talk with writer and film historian about the career of Fatty Arbuckle.  Arbuckle starred in films with Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. Much has been made about the unfortunate scandal of the Virginia Rappe death. Arbuckle was acquitted but the scandal hurt him for life.  However, most of the discussion revolves around the great film legacy that Roscoe Arbuckle left us with. Steve has written a book entitled Rediscovering Roscoe: The Films of Fatty Arbuckle.https://www.amazon.com/Rediscovering-Roscoe-Films-Fatty-Arbuckle-ebook/dp/B083LVBDRRThanks for listening!

One hundred years ago, Labor Day 1921, silent movie star and comedian Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle is in San Francisco with his buddies for a weekend holiday. Partying ensued. Alcohol flowed. And women joined in the mayhem. But when the Labor Day holiday was over, a twenty-six-year-old starlet named Virginia Rappe is dead—seemingly suffering injuries while in Roscoe's room at the St. Francis Hotel. Regardless of his guilt or innocence, he would ultimately pay the price in scandal and cancel culture. This is the death of Virginia Rappe, and the Skinny on Hollywood Star, Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle. Join our Facebook Group: Kentucky Fried Cousins (Cause we're all family here!)For additional show notes, go to: kentuckyfriedhomicide.comStart Heather Sunseri's Books for Free!

Did the story they tell in 1961 actually happen – or was it an elaborate hoax? While no one can say for certain, they evidence does seem overwhelming that what they say they experienced as terrifyingly real. *** A woman lives day to day with an entity. *** A strange – and eerie - story of a boy and his dog. *** A girl sees a black-eyed man on a train… and she's the only one who can see him. *** Only the name of Jesus Christ pushes away a terrifying entity in one girl's bedroom. *** The crew completely vanished from the ship with no explanation yet to be found. You'd think I would be talking about the legendary Mary Celeste – but there is another ship that suffered a similar fate. *** In 1921, Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle was the highest-paid actor in the world. But before the year was out, he was accused of a crime so monstrous that he would never appear onscreen again. *** A cabin in the middle of the woods, in the middle of the night, a strange figure barely visible in the darkness. It could almost be the setup for a cliché horror movie if it wasn't real for one man. *** Insanity, tragedy, and death… and that's just the start of what you'll find at Loftus Hall, Ireland's most haunted residence. *** People around the world are reporting an odd phenomenon of walking and suddenly striking what can only be described an an invisible barrier, like a transparent wall. Are the reports true? And if so, what is causing this?SOURCES AND ESSENTIAL WEB LINKS…Links for the stories in this episode have been lost. Sorry.Weird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library.

A century ago, at the birth of movie superstardom, silent film star Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle was at the center of a scandal that rocked Hollywood to its core. He was accused of a murderous sex crime so depraved that it turned the nation not only against him but against Hollywood itself. It led to the trial of the century, and a test of whether America's elite veil of privilege could be pierced by the long arm of justice. The tide of public opinion that followed was so strong that it made Hollywood change the way Hollywood did business – at least on the surface.Follow Badlands wherever you get your podcasts to hear new episodes of BADLANDS Season 1: HOLLYWOODLAND each Wednesday.

Rich and Will discuss the life and scandal of silent film comedian Fatty Arbuckle.

Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle was an accomplished silent film actor, director, and screenwriter when a scandal involving the death of an up-and-coming movie starlet derailed his career in 1921. Just a year later, the murder of wealthy textile manufacturer, Fred Oesterreich exposed a bizarre love affair between his wife and a man dubbed The Bat Man. This week we cover two cases linked to Old Hollywood. Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/user?u=25398556)

« Grandes et petites histoires du Cinéma Burlesque » par Jean-Philippe Tessé (1/3) Le cinéma burlesque est un genre en soi, lié à une époque (celle du muet), avec un corpus de films essentiels et innombrables (des milliers de courts et longs métrages) réalisés par de nombreux artistes oubliés et quelques figures incontournables tels que, en France, Max Linder, Georges Mèliès, Louis Feuillade, suivis aux Etats-Unis par Mack Sennett, Hal Roach, Roscoe Fatty Arbuckle, et bien sûr Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Laurel et Hardy, ou encore, retour en France, Jacques Tati et Pierre Etaix. Une réalisation de Jean-Louis Dupont

This week, we turn back the clock nearly a century and look at two terrible stories from the early days of film. Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle was just a few years removed from signing the first million dollar a year deal in Hollywood History when it all went away following him being accused of rape and manslaughter. One of his perennial co-stars was deeply involved with not one, but two shootings. We explore both this week! Also on the show, This Week In Murder looks at the down side of archery and swimming as Summer comes to a close. Then we play a stage-centric Who Died The Worst! Like what we're doing?

On this day in 1921, a Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle party in San Francisco ends with the death of the young actress Virginia Rappe. Learn about the scandal details and how it affected (and didn't affect) Arbuckle's career. Today is September 5, 2020. This is the Librarian's Almanac.

Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle was the biggest name in silent movie comedies. He had signed a picture deal with Paramount Pictures earning him millions of dollars, second only to Charlie Chaplin. So why is Charlie Chaplin a household name, while "Fatty" Arbuckle is virtually unknown? Could his name be cursed? And was he responsible for the death of Virginia Rappe?

Lo scandalo che sconvolse Hollywood e segnò il cinema.

In this episode we dim the lights, and hide behind the sofa, as Dean begins his horror odyssey and gives us his opinion of the 1973 classic, ‘The Wicker Man’. Not to be confused with the 2006 remake starring Nicolas Cage. That was absolute dog shit.Pete tells us about British thriller ‘The Good Liar’, alligator chiller ‘Crawl’ and Dean recalls the legend of Roscoe ‘Fatty’ Arbuckle. And don’t worry Allen fans…he’s here as well…chipping in where he can. Bless him.So, stay off the moors, beware the moon, and whatever you do…Don’t Go Outside!

Before the 1900s, solving a murder was done using conjectural theories or flimsy psychological notions of what makes a killer a killer. That all changed with the development of forensic techniques employed at crime scenes, but few know the origin story of these now taken-for-granted methods of solving murders and other misdeeds. It all changed with the revolutionary contributions of Edward Oscar Heinrich who pioneered many of the forensic techniques used today. Today’s guest is Kate Dawson, author of the book American Sherlock, who gives Heinrich his due with an account of his work on some of the most perplexing and notorious cases of the first half of the twentieth century. The press at the time dubbed Edward Oscar Heinrich ‘America’s Sherlock Holmes’ thanks to his brilliance in the lab, his cool demeanor at crime scenes, and his expertise in the witness chair. He invented new forensic techniques. A CSI in the field and inside the lab before the acronym existed. And he was a nascent innovator of criminal profiling fifty years before the FBI’s Behavioral Science Unit invented its methodology.Never a member of a police force, Heinrich was brought in to consult on many high profile cases, including the legendary rape and manslaughter trial of movie comedian Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle (a case the prosecution ultimately lost when the jury neglected to accept Heinrich’s finger print evidence). Bloodstain pattern analysis, ballistics, the use of UV rays to detect blood, hair and fiber evidence, handwriting analysis—all were virtually unheard of methods that Heinrich employed to bring criminals to justice. Often the cutting-edge techniques that Heinrich engaged in the lab and brought to the courtroom as an expert witness would rile the authorities, even as they galvanized the public. Edward Oscar Heinrich quietly and unassumingly offered a revolutionary approach—the immutable proof that science and reason could provide to the thrilling, often messy world of crime solving.

Episode 2 of Showtime at the Senate! Fellow movie committe member John Shetler and I discuss our upcoming Fatty Arbuckle and Friends silent shorts program. We discuss the heartbreaking story of Roscoe Arbuckle and why he should be remembered for his craft rather than a series of horribly unfortunate events. --------------------------------------------- Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle mentored Charlie Chaplin, introduced the world to Bob Hope and Buster Keaton, and for a time, was the most popular comedian in Hollywood. Due to a scandal that unfairly affected his reputation, Arbuckle's contributions to screen comedy have been largely ignored. Thankfully, since the 1970s, historians have begun to set the record straight and audiences have given a second look to this founding father of movie comedy. As part of the Silents at the Senate series, CineMuseum LLC and the Detroit Theater Organ Society proudly presents FATTY ARBUCKLE AND FRIENDS. Join us for a collection of six hilarious silent shorts, accompanied by Andrew Rogers on the Mighty Wurlitzer organ: Peeping Pete (1913) The Rounders (1914) The Waiters' Ball (1916) Fatty and Mabel Adrift (1916) Coney Island (1917) Love (1919) Sat. Jan. 18th, 2020 Doors 7 pm Movie 8pm Tickets $10 - Kids 12 and under FREE All six shorts star Arbuckle, assisted by other comic greats of the day – Chaplin, Keaton, Mabel Normand, and others. Bring the family for a fun night at the Senate! In addition to the shorts program, organist Andrew Rogers will conduct a Q&A session and attendees will be invited to tour our organ chamber. As an added treat, Producer, Director, and co-founder of Cinemuseum LLC, Paul Gierucki will be displaying memorabilia and items personally owned by Roscoe Arbuckle! Approximate running time: 1hr 51min (plus intermission) Silents at the Senate is supported by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and CultureSource.

You’d think I would be talking about the legendary Mary Celeste – but there is another ship that suffered a similar fate. *** In 1921, Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle was the highest-paid actor in the world. But before the year was out, he was accused of a crime so monstrous that he would never appear onscreen again. *** A cabin in the middle of the woods, in the middle of the night, a strange figure barely visible in the darkness. It could almost be the setup for a cliché horror movie if it wasn’t real for one man. *** Insanity, tragedy, and death… and that’s just the start of what you’ll find at Loftus Hall, Ireland’s most haunted residence. *** People around the world are reporting an odd phenomenon of walking and suddenly striking what can only be described an an invisible barrier, like a transparent wall.

At a boozy party over Labor Day weekend 1921, Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle, silent Hollywood’s superstar plus-size comedian, followed sometime actress Virginia Rappe into a hotel room. They were alone together for only a few minutes, but in that time, Rappe fell ill, and died several days later from her sickness. Arbuckle was tried for murder, and accused of rape in the newspapers. The story of the definitive sex-and-death scandal in early Hollywood history, which left a woman dead and effectively killed off a star comedian’s career, has been plagued with misinformation and distortions for nearly 100 years. Today we’ll closely examine Anger’s text to demonstrate how he implies both Arbuckle and Rappe’s guilt, and we’ll also use more recent scholarship on the case to try to suss out what really happened in that hotel room, and how the facts were distorted throughout Arbuckle’s three trials. This episode includes graphic descriptions of sexual violence.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 59 (The Herpes of Conspiracy Theories) really put a bee in your bonnets! There is a deep divide in the DTFUniverse that has pinned dude against dude. You're either Team #meatballsaremeatloaf or you're team #thef***yousaytome?! Speaking of meat, Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle was one of the biggest (*ahem*) silent film stars of his day. That is, until a woman at one of his parties died and a huge scandal was born. Erin and Nicole present some of the evidence but have no real verdicts. Not why you came here anyway, huh?

Je me retrouve malheureusement seul ce soir car Olivier est menotté à son lit sans personne pour pouvoir le détacher, mais je ne peux pas vous dire comment il s'est mis dans cette situation. Je vous fais la critique du nanar "Neon Maniacs" de 1986, dans lequel il n'y a que très peu de néons. Je vous raconte le scandale de Roscoe "Fatty"Arbuckle qui mis fin, en quelque sorte, à la déchéance de Hollywood en 1921. Et on discute de la première vague de la programmation du festival Fantasia 2017! Bonne écoute!

In 1928, silent comedy star Buster Keaton made what he would later call “the worst mistake of my career”: against the advice of fellow silent comedy auteurs like Charlie Chaplin, he gave up his independent production shingle and signed a contract with MGM. A vaudevillian who got his start working with Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle, by the late 1920s Keaton had established himself as a solo writer, director and star who was known for doing his own spectacular but reckless stunts. Keaton joined MGM with a promise from his friend Joe Schenck that nothing would change, only to find himself in his new situation demoted from artistic boss to employee of a corporation interested in protecting its investment above all. The lack of agency and ability to personally control the quality of his own work within the confines of Mayer’s studio drove Keaton to alcoholism, which further doomed his tenure at MGM. Keaton’s experience is perhaps the first major example of an indie filmmaker “selling out” to a big studio, only to be swallowed up by the system. Learn more about your ad choices.
