Let’s talk about history. Every diarist has to know the classics facts, the bases of every story.
In our case we get back to a time where people had to leave without Facebook, Starbucks and Lady Gaga (I know, it’s hard to admit…).
Roscoe Conkling Arbuckle, AKA Fatty Arbuckle, was one of the most famous actors of silent films in Hollywood (imagine that: boring and dusty movies in black and white, and no chance to find Robert Pattinson in one of them.
He was born in 1887 and was intimate with Buster Keaton, friendly and professionally. He also worked with Chaplin or Laurel & Hardy. He get really famous in 1921 because of the first Hollywood scandal (finally, we get to the point).
The 5th of September, he organized a party at the St. Francis Hotel. The Actress Virginia Rappe (providential name) was found, 4 days later, dead. Fatty was inculpated for murder . He was suspected of rapping and killing. After 3 trials he was finally declared innocent. It was unfortunately too late for him, his carrier was over.
This story represents the first affair of Hollywood, showing that even the most powerful actor of the United States can be destroyed by Medias and rumors.
A mentor for our blog protagonists then.
