Charles Chaplin, Oona O’Neill, and Joan Barry
Even though Charles Chaplin is seen as a Hollywood legend, everyone knows that he had a controversial preference for young women. You might not know that Chaplin rarely dated a woman who was over 18 years old.
He was also married four times over the course of his life.
He didn’t shy away from the huge age gap between him and the women he liked. For example, he met Oona O’Neill when she was 18, and he was 54.
After a while, she became his fourth and last wife.
They married while he was in the middle of a messy paternity test court case with actress Joan Barry. Regardless of the immense age difference between them, they had eight children together.
