Roscoe Arbuckle was the face of the golden age of American burlesque: a star actor at Keystone Studios, his success as Fatty (a derogatory nickname for his corpulence) led to him writing and directing most of his films by 1914.
He was the first to give a chance to the man who considered him his mentor, • Buster Keaton in his 1917 film, • Fatty macellaio (1917)... .
