Despite all of their talents and trailblazing, both Mabel Normand and Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle would hit some heartbreaking career lows (Normand with relationship and drug scandals the stress of which would worsen her recurrent tuberculosis; Arbuckle with career ending sex scandal). And they’d both pass away far too young in the early 1930s (Mabel at only 36 in 1930 & Roscoe at 43 in 1933)

And finally, “He Did and He Didn’t” (1916) (https://youtu.be/5naCRo-i1JI?si=yxMvA_4hrmd0oCMo) is actually more of a dramedy VS the usual slapstick comedy or RomCom that Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle and Mabel Normand were known for while working for Keystone Studios.

“Wished on a Mabel” (1915) (https://youtu.be/iDWXaF5MMBs?si=NnpB69KBpUKG-JbQ) is considered one of the more “sophisticated” films that Mabel Normand and Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle would make together

During this time, Mabel Normand and Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle would make 17 films together- mostly short comedies and often writing, producing and directing the films themselves. While at Keystone Mabel Normand would star in over 100 films and write & direct around 20 films on her own. Arbuckle would parlay his screenwriting & directorial work at Keystone into a contract with MGM in 1918.

Despite being mostly known as a singer who also did comedy on the side, he leaned fully into his brand of chaotic, physical comedy once he began acting in films, especially once they were hired by Mack Sennett for Keystone Studios in 1913.

Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle (March 24, 1887-June 29, 1933) began his career as a child performer on the vaudeville circuit. He wouldn’t get into films until round 1909 when he and his wife, Minta Durfee, would join the roster of Chicago’s Selig Polyscope Company.

“That Little Band of Gold” (1915) (https://youtu.be/yC7f-vorsN4?si=BZ8SzbWaTZJn2z6y) is somewhat of a departure for Mabel Normand and Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle in that they also share top billing with Ford Sterling. This also features A LOT of Keystone Studio regulars (Minta Durfee, Edgar Kennedy, Al St. John, etc.)

“Mabel and Fatty’s Married Life” (1915) (https://youtu.be/1pXAXg2SEfU?si=7kau3kdJC1ojS8zQ) is another from the series that features the chaos trio (Mabel Normand, Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle & Al St. John) but this time they’re joined by The Keystone Kops

Here’s the first in the popular Mabel Normand-“Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle comedy series “Fatty and Mabel’s Simple Life” (1915) (https://youtu.be/zxIQWn_fN88?si=Y35YbaBtj4Eh4pam). This was co-directed by both Mabel Normand and Roscoe Arbuckle, who by this point had been directing and producing films both individually and jointly for about a year. It also features Arbuckle’s nephew and frequent collaborator Al St. John
