The Big Picture Making a name for himself with improvisational performances via The Second City, Chris Farley hit the big time with a five-year run on Saturday Night Live and successfully made the transition to film acting with several beloved roles. But his life and career were tragically cut short by his untimely death on December 18, 1997.
Steadily rising through the motion picture ranks, Arbuckle took over the Comique Film Corporation in 1917, cranking out several short comedy films as director and star. While working at Comique, he arguably made one of his greatest contributions to the film industry when he met a young and unknown performer named Buster Keaton. With a keen eye for talent and a generous spirit, he believed in Keaton as a talent and took a chance in employing the aspiring actor.
Though the silent film star avoided criminal conviction, his career and public image would never fully recover. The negative publicity led to Hollywood distancing itself from Arbuckle, even leading to a temporary ban on his films preceding the infamous Hays Code censorship regime, which would be implemented years later as a result of such notorious scandals involving movie stars and filmmakers.
