"After the [screen] test [for The Kid] was completed. Rollie [Totheroh] had some still photographs taken, as well as a special photograph Charlie had requested. Following Charlie's instructions, I was posed like the girl in Sir Joshua Reynolds' famous portrait The Age Of Innocence, for I had reminded him of the little girl in the oil painting. He thought it would make a memorable photograph." --Lita Grey Chaplin, Wife Of The Life Of The Party, 1998
