My Life with Chaplin: An Intimate Memoir

[a nice clean book with no discernible wear; the jacket has a fewsmall nicks and some associated dog-earring at the top of the spine, some modest surface wear, a tiny closed tear at the top edge of the rear panel and another, even tinier chip at the bottom edge]. (B&W photographs) A sensational-bordering-on-lurid memoir by Charlie Chaplin's second wife -- a child bride, basically, who "he had taken under his wing at twelve and into his bed at fifteen," and married when she was pregnant at sixteen. Later in her life, she claimed that her co-author, Cooper, had re-edited her original manuscript and introduced numerous inaccuracies, distortions, exaggerations, and fabrications. At the time of her death in 1995 she was at work on another, more truthful memoir, which was eventually published several years later.
