Was Charlie Chaplin born in the caravan of a Birmingham Gypsy Queen instead of a London workhouse? It appears so, according to this article. That'll give the local racists something to think about.

    It's always been known that he was part Romany (his grandmother was a Gypsy from the Smith family), so there may be some truth to this...

    Perhaps he liked silent movies because he had a Brummie accent…
