MOMENTS IN TIME

. On Nov. 30, 1959, production begins on Alfred Hitchcock's classic thriller "Psycho," starring Anthony Perkins as murderous hotelier Norman Bates. The film is considered one of Hitchcock's most frightening, and the terrifying shower scene is still referenced today.

. On Dec. 1, 1934, jazz clarinet pioneer Benny Goodman debuts as a regular on radio variety show "Let's Dance." In 1935, the band gave a famous performance at the Palomar Theater in Los Angeles that drew an enormous audience and is frequently credited as the kickoff of the Swing Era.

. On Dec. 2, 1932, Bing Crosby and Bob Hope appear together for the first time onstage in a show at the Paramount Theater, where "The Mask of Fu Manchu" opens. The duo would become two of Hollywood's best-paid actors thanks to their comic rapport.

. On Dec. 3, 1979, nearly a dozen young people are killed at concert by the rock band The Who in Cincinnati. Eleven victims were trampled to death during a stampede for seats at the Riverfront Coliseum. The band was not told of the deaths until after the show.

. On Dec. 4, 1921, the manslaughter trial for actor and director Fatty Arbuckle ends in a hung jury. Arbuckle -- nicknamed "Fatty" for his generous physique -- was accused of manslaughter in the death of Virginia Rappe. The starlet died of a ruptured bladder several days after an alleged sexual assault by the 350-pound Arbuckle at a wild drinking party in San Francisco. After two hung juries, he was acquitted in 1922.
