Description

Pensive image of the embattled silent film star

Rotund motion picture actor and director (1887-1933). In 1921, at the peak of his fame, Arbuckle was accused of complicity in the death of actress Virginia Rappe after a wild party. He was acquitted of manslaughter, but the scandal ruined his career. Vintage glossy 8 x 10 double-weight photo of Arbuckle resting his head in his hand by Mitchell of New York, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, “To Nat, sincerely, Roscoe Arbuckle.” A diagonal crease to lower left, some light rubbing to finish, and light contrast to end of last name of signature, otherwise fine condition. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
