Addie McPhail was born on July 15, 1905 in White Plains, Kentucky, USA. She was an actress, known for Corsair (1931), Aloha (1931) and Midnight Daddies (1930). She was married to Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle and Lindsay McPhail. She died on April 14, 2003 in Canoga Park, Los Angeles, California, USA.
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.
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.
She had a daughter, Marilyn, with her first husband, Lindsay.
I don't believe I ever did anything spectacularly enough in pictures or on stage to be remembered for it. I was like a small ship passing through a rough sea.
When I reminded Norma Shearer, Caryl Lincoln, Viola Dana, Stepin Fetchit and others who I was, they would always smile and say something good about Roscoe.
