Yeah, I think he could only get film jobs playing a villainous brute and then faded out. I really should look it up.

Ironically, the Twins won the World Series in 1987. Coincidence?! I think not!

Oh wow that is insane. I am guessing that is career never recovered from. I had heard there was a thing about rise of Hollywood. From a article I read.

Yeah. I have a friend who is really into the history of Hollywood and he said the details were nearly the same. However, I don't really know. I should look more into it before parroting things. Apparently, when Fatty was accused of rape it was during a general backlash against the rise of Hollywood in entertainment. So, a lot of people were already talking about the 'sins' of the actors and how they got away with them because of their monied-up lawyers. So, he really didn't stand a chance.

Oh wow that is interesting. I had not really looked that much into it. I say it did kill his reputation. But notice with Johnny Depp everybody rallied around him.

Actually, poor ol' Fatty was accused of rape and used a wine bottle in the worst way possible. Almost everyone today says he was innocent and he wasn't convicted back in the day. However, in public opinion, he was slaughtered and distorted his reputation. (Fun fact, the details of the rape is exactly the same as what Johnny Depp was accused of and no one believed her either. )

We recently lost my grandma and I found this picture when we were cleaning up her house to sell — love the cat, the couch, the slippers, and the people

They look like the kind of girls you will meet for the first time at a house party and if you got really drunk, they'd sit with you and help you sober up and walk you back to your room.
