roscoe 'fatty' arbuckle





a true giant in the early days of cinema. this comedian was making 3 million a year. he gave buster keaton his first chance in films. described as a sweet and very graceful man, arbuckle's brilliant career was shot dead in it's tracks by the hugest scandel to hit hollywood.

larger than life! how sad his contributions to film have been scarred.
i am sure that his legacy gave actors like benny hill and johnathan winters carte blanche to pursue comedy by his example in film.
god rest this gentle giant.
