Addie McPhail

Addie McPhail

Appeared in many short comedies for Universal in the 20s; later unbilled bits.

Best known as Roscoe Arbuckle's last wife (1932), Addie tried to revive the comedian's career after the notorious scandal ruined him. They went out together on a vaudeville tour in Canada and were warmly received. Jack Warner offered Fatty a chance to act under his real name again in six successful comedy sound shorts.

Father was in the insurance business.

Fatty died of a heart attack while he and Addie were staying at a New York hotel in 1933. Earlier that evening they had been to a restaurant at a party in honor of their first wedding anniversary.

First husband was songwriter and pianist Lindsay McPhail; they had one daughter, Marilyn.



Mother of Marilyn McPhail (from marriage to Lindsay McPhail)
