Charlie Chaplin visited Waterville

A comic of a century ago. He visited the place because his daughter had a house here. He acted with a lot of mime because the soud wasn't attached in that time.

Charlie Chaplin had a holiday home here for many years. Expect to wait to have your picture taken alongside this iconic statue along the waterfront.

Why is Charlie Chaplin there

AnswerShow all 2 answers

Charlie Chaplin used to vacation there, and if I recall correctly, we were told that his daughter still owns a house there. Because of that, they also have a yearly film festival of his works, hence the statue.
