- SpousesRoscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle(June 28, 1932 - June 29, 1933) (his death)Lindsay McPhail(1922 - June 12, 1932) (divorced)
- 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.
- 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.
- She had a daughter, Marilyn, with her first husband, Lindsay.
- Father was in the insurance business.
- 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.
