Fatty Arbuckle: What Really Happened?

During the silent era, comedian Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle once raked in the big bucks. But a scandal — and false rumors — destroyed his career.

Today, even people familiar with the name of Fatty Arbuckle believe the worst of him. Few know he was eventually acquitted of his crimes (after three trials). Not only that, but the jury read an apology to Arbuckle.
