Evicted from his adopted country whereby he made so much money for, brought joy plus, I believe, became the icon a lot of comedians followed. What could not he do? I am so glad he was Knighted by the Queen of his motherland. He more than well deserved it.
To cross The North Atlantic, you had to go by ocean liners to Southampton and it would take days in 1952. He couldn't arrive back from America by airplane to Gatwick Airport or Heathrow Airport like today, and feel jetlagged from the long flight.
Wife aged 18 (#4 - 1 & 2 were 16) when he was 54, must have made her laugh, married for 34 years until widowed with 8 children. Charlie had 3 other children. This trip to London in 1952 was for the premiere of his film Limelight where the story was set. He did not return to the US for 20 years until the Academy awarded him an Honorary Oscar for "the incalculable effect he has had in making motion pictures the art form of this century". Charlie was knighted by QEII in 1975. He had left London at 19 and by 1919 was one of the United Artists, his estate was over $100m.

Surprisingly He also rode the sister ship of Titanic, Olympic on his way back to London
maybe 1921 after he became engaged to his secretary and changed his mind
'My only enemy is time.'
