On several occasions, Chaplin pursued women who were in their mid-teens. Most notorious is his relationship with Lita Grey, whom he met when she was cast in a minor role in The Kid (1921) at the age of 12. She was to be the lead in Chaplin's film The Gold Rush (1925), but her becoming pregnant at 15 (and married to Chaplin soon afterwards, at 16), prevented her from finishing the role, which was recast. His last marriage occurred when he was 54 and Oona was 18. There is not conclusive evidence that any of his sexual interactions fit the legal of definition of pedophilia.
