Forty Quarts of Liquor: Fatty Arbuckle and the Death of Virginia Rappe: Hollywoo

Description: Forty Quarts of Liquor by Dave Zuda Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Nearly a century before Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey shamed Hollywood spawning the #MeToo and Times-Up movements, and half a decade before Hollywood Babylons Clara Bow charmed and shocked the world, popular film star Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle - second at the box office only to Charlie Chaplin - stood trial for the murder of the young starlets Virginia Rappe. Some medical experts, and the court of public opinion, concluded the girl died in a sexual assault after a weekend of consuming illegal alcohol, her bladder having ruptured under Fattys 266 pounds. But after three trials and a defense that cost Arbuckle more than did O. J. Simpsons "Dream Team," the comedian was freed. The public was never persuaded. "Everywhere today," one period commentary said, "Arbuckles name, with its unsavory associations, is met with a sneer; everywhere indecent living is branded as Fatty Arbuckle stuff." Using contemporaneous accounts, "Forty Quarts of Liquor," - a reference to the amount of prohibition-era illegal alcohol Arbuckles party consumed - documents Hollywoods first scandal.
