Not to get off topic, but it's actually an interesting story. He was tried 3 times for rape/murder, with the first two trials ending with a hung jury and the last trial resulting in an acquittal.

He was totally innocent and it still ruined his career.

+2 His movies were banned for a period of time until after his acquittal and there was a public outcry for the death penalty. In the end, the jury sent him a letter of apology (something really almost unheard of), but I guess the damage had already been done.

He wound up working as a director, hit or miss, under the alias of William Goodrich. Buster Keaton had suggested Will B. Good. A few of his fellow comics kept him in gag-writing money. He died broke and broken.

Wow - how would you like to have that as a nickname?
-"Hey Fatty, do you want to grab a beer?"
-"How you doin'? My name's Fatty. What's your sign?"
-"OK class, it's time for attendance... Fatty Arbuckle?" "present"
-"Table for two - FATTY! Table for two."

And ironically Hearst may have committed a murder.
