Today, on Beneath the Shadows, we’re pulling back the curtain on one of Hollywood’s most controversial tales: the rise and fall of Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle. Known for his comedic genius, Arbuckle’s career came crashing down in 1921 after a scandal that captured headlines, divided the public, and changed the film industry forever.
In this episode, we unravel the events leading up to the infamous Labor Day party, the tragic death of Virginia Rappe, and the media frenzy that followed. Was Arbuckle a villain, or was he wrongfully accused? Dive deep with us as we examine the facts, debunk the myths, and discuss the legacy of a man who became a cautionary tale in the early days of Hollywood.
