(conjecture) -

American
silent film
actress

rape
by silent film star
Fatty Arbuckle
; she died of
peritonitis
caused by a ruptured
bladder
a few days after attending a party where Arbuckle was present on
September 5
, 1921 in
San Francisco, California
. The exact events of the infamous party are still unclear. After three trials Arbuckle was cleared of the charges. Although Rappe had made few movies at the time of her death, the notoriety surrounding her death and the subsequent trial caused movie theaters all over the United States to show her films, billing them as starring the victim of the supposed murder. The
Motion Picture Theater Owners of America Association
had to step in and ban the showing of all of her films for a time, in order to end the exploitation. Virginia Rappe was buried in
