Charlie Chaplin was born in 1889 in London into an acting family. Already as a child, he visited the theater during rehearsals for plays in which his mother acted. In 1913, he went to the USA with a theater group, and a year later Charlie settled there permanently. It found its place in silent cinema and over time became the most desired film in the United States.
His private life was the most controversial. He met his second wife when she was… 12 years old
Charlie Chaplin earned a lot at that time, as he received up to 10,000 dollars a week. He starred in films such as “The Toddler”, “Golden Rush”, “The Circus” and “City Lights”. Although he was seen as a funny man, he had a dark nature. He was considered amorous and publicly boasted that he had about 2,000 lovers. He was married four times. He first married at the age of 29, to 16-year-old Mildred Harris, who became pregnant with his child. Charlie and Mildred’s son was born disabled and died 3 days after birth. He met his second wife when she was only 12 years old. Four years later they married and their son, Charles Junior, was born, but the marriage did not last. During the divorce, Lita Gray received $1 million in compensation because she proved her husband’s numerous infidelities.
At the age of 54, he met the love of his life. The fourth marriage turned out to be a success
Charlie Chaplin’s third with 21-year-old Paulette Goddard lasted six years. The actor dated many women, but he had little self-confidence. He often staged scenes of jealousy. Charlie married for the fourth time at the age of 54, with 17-year-old Oonie O’Neill, whom the media called “Lady Chaplin”. The couple had eight children and were together until the actor’s death in 1977. If you feel like it, vote in our poll below.
