Concerning Virginia ‘Rap’: Her name was Zelliene Virginia Rappe. The last name is pronounced ‘Rap-pay’ not Rap. It is thought the only thing Fatty Arbuckle was guilty of was holding the party. That Bambina Maude Belmont lead the charge against Arbuckle has been pretty clearly established. Belmont, who allegedly needed money, testified at the trial. She was also at the party with Rappe. There are many stories about both Rappe and Belmont that are very interesting to read. Rappe is at Hollywood Forever cemetery and her grave is clearly marked with her last name.
Clara Bow was the It girl and deserved the title. She was adorable and her performances in most of her films were terrific. I had an uncle, Uncle Bud, who tragically drowned at the age of 16 in 1932. My grandmother told me he would beg her for a dime to attend a movie theater in the neighborhood to see Clara Bow. He was 14, 15 and 16 when Clara Bow was all the rage and he saw all of her films during that period. Sadly, he did not live to see her last film in 1933 "Hoopla" Grandma said he had the biggest crush on Clara Bow! Glad you covered her on this channel. She was sensational!
According to one report... Fatty Arbuckle atempted to rape her... When she resisted, he assaulted her with a beer bottle...leaving her with horrific injuries to her bladder and her insides. Horrible death in the hands of a monster..😢
It has been stated that Jean Harlow's mother did not refuse her medical treatment and she passed because there wasn't actually anything else people could do about it at that time.
They all died so tragically some may have lived with the antibiotics of today. I have to say Jean Harlows death was horrible. They didn’t have any kidney treatments back then.
I don't understand how women found Rudolph Valentino sexy, but everyone is different. All these actors/actresses who died is very sad. I feel very sorry for Fatty Arbuckle, I've read so much about this case. And I 100% believe he didn't kill her,
Cool to see rare pictures of silent stars.

A sweet and sad story.

When she resisted, he assaulted her with a beer bottle...leaving her with horrific injuries to her bladder and her insides.

Many theories have stated she died from a botched abortion.
Valentino was not only handsome, but, very charming. He came across as a sexy gentleman. No one has ever replaced him
Arbuckle was a disgusting pig...
He assaulted Rappe sexually with a beer bottle, and caused her horrific injuries...
She died a terrible death.
They were all so young .😔🙁. Except for a very few .
Reckon Valentino was considered hot stuff in his day.
He sure was.
Jean Harlow would have died anyway. There was no cure for her in the 1930s.
24:58 Louise Brooks is one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen.
It’s Virginia Rappe not Rap.
What about Lillian Gish?
Funny how most of those early stars wouldn't be considered anything more than at best average-looking today.
Hmmm. I don't think so. But, modern people are so used to seeing plastic surgery on everyone.
