Chaplin married Eugene O’Neill’s daughter Oona when she was around 17. He was in his mid 50s. They met earlier than that. Who know’s what happened but innuendo is a powerful thing.

That's it??? That's your evidence???

A hundred years ago that age difference wasn't all that uncommon.

Older available women were in very short supply, the population was thinned out pretty well by childbed fever (Despite Ignaz Semmelweis' plea for hygiene half a century before) and young men with enough wherewithal to start a family were few and very far between.

I did say it was innuendo.
