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.

Who was more famous Buster Keaton Charlie Chaplin or Harold Lloyd?

Chaplin was the most famous. He may have been the first real international superstar, something that only became possible when mass media like motion pictures made it possible for people all over the world to experience a performance without the performer actually having to be there. Keaton was next in terms of fame, though some say that, as a pure, physical comic, he was actually better than Chaplin. In terms of fame and popularity, Lloyd was third behind Chaplin and Keaton. There were other silent comics who were very famous at the time but whose stars have dimmed over the decades -- Fatty Arbuckle, for instance. Chaplin, Keaton and Lloyd, in that order, are still the big three of silent comedy.
