"Sorry, Charlie"

Apparently this is Charlie Chaplin 's (1889-1977) "true" first love. It is said he fell madly in love with her and asked her to marry him (she was 15, he 19). When she refused, he suggested it would be best if they did not see each other again, and was reportedly crushed when she agreed. For years, her memory would remain a fetish with Chaplin. He was devastated in 1921 when he learned that she had died of influenza during the Great Flu Pandemic of 1918 (age 22). Some speculation lingered for a while over whether they had a child.
