Viveca Lindfors and Geraldine Chaplin in something called La casa sin fronteras. Pedro Olea. 1972.

This flick seems to be all but forgotten.

Chaplin and Peggy Hopkins Joyce chilling on a yacht off Santa Catalina Island in the summer of 1922.

I’ve heard that this is the woman whose string of marriages to millionaires inspired the term gold digger. I’m not sure if that’s true, but whether it is or not, look out Chas!
