Cool pics. You know, an unusual thing I found out about Chaplin was/is how insanely attracted women are to the guy. I couldn’t believe it when I heard about that. The Tramp? The goofy waddling guy with the cane? For example if you go to IMDB, it’s just one post after another by women fawning over the guy. It’s really bizarre.

By the way, it is Henry Ford, Tom Edison, Warren Harding and Harvey...I forget who Harvey was.
I found The Tramp nearly ugly. Then, I saw how Charlie Chaplin really looked. He was funny, British, and very attractive. That isn’t going into his flaws. That is just the initial attraction.
They had a retrospective about him on AMC a week or two ago, and the ladies said, when he wasn’t in the “tramp” get-up, he was the most handsome, suave man they’d ever met.
“an unusual thing I found out about Chaplin was/is how insanely attracted women are to the guy.”
That is hard to understand, until you see pix like the ones here. Look how handsome he is, out of the tramp costume.
Eh, what do I know, before my time.
My mother hated him, that COULD be because he was a lefty, or it could be because my mom hated a lot of things/people.
But, it’s surprising to see what a good looking guy he was. And, I guess he was pretty rich too, by the time he married Oona O’Neil anyway. How old was she, like 16 or something? And whose daughter? Eugene O’Neil’s?
But I think they stayed together to his end, didn’t they?

The Tramp was his signature character.
As a woman, my first reaction to the photo was that he was a handsome man, albeit a bit short.
Apparently he was quite the horn dog.
