ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This book has been percolating in my mind since about the year 2000, when I began thinking about how I might write it and what items of material culture I might need to enhance it. But the project really began in earnest in 2012, when I began to shape my outline and uncover specific archival documents I needed to make this a compelling investigation. From that point, and before that point in some cases, I want to thank the many people who assisted me on this journey in one way or another. No Chaplin project is possible without the support of Roy Export S. A. S.’s Kate Guyonvarch. Her belief in me, no matter what crazy project I come up with, is most important in providing me the confidence and ability to see the project through to the end. And thank you to the Chaplin children, especially Josephine, Michael and Vickie, for providing permission to use the extensive Chaplin archive for the project. A special thanks to Cecilia Cenciarelli of the Cineteca di Bologna, home of Chaplin’s archive, who has been a vocal cheerleader for this project from early on. Chuck Maland and Frank Scheide have been gracious colleagues, giving endlessly of their time and expertise regarding this
