Biography

Lita Grey began working for Charles Chaplin at his Hollywood studio at the age of 12, appearing in bit parts in a few of his films. Three years later, at 15, she reconnected with Chaplin and became pregnant by the time she was 16; they married in 1924 when she was 16 and he was 35. The couple had two sons before their three-year marriage ended in a contentious divorce. Grey later performed at clubs in Europe and the United States and spent eight years touring with the Radio Keith Orpheum theater circuit before retiring from show business in 1947.
