Paul Rudd isn’t the only local boy in the headlines this week. Eric Stonestreet of KCK will star in an HBO biopic about fallen screen legend Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle. Arbuckle, who grew up in Smith Center, Kan., was a big (in every sense of the word) silent film star, until he was accused of raping and accidentally killing actress Virginia Rappe. Her body was found days after she attended a party Arbuckle hosted at an L.A. hotel. He was later acquitted of all charges, but his career was ruined. The TV-movie will be adapted from David Yallop’s biography, “The Day the Laughter Stopped.”
