Virginia Rappe
Blossoming silent film star Virginia Rappe died in 1921 at the age of 26. Even though it was the Prohibition era, Rappe's death came after a night of partying. Rappe and another actor, Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, were in a bedroom together—guests reported hearing her shrieks. Upon entering the room, Rappe was found completely clothed and screaming agony.
