This report shows that the Chaplin Studio was closed on Labor Day in 1952. It also records Charlie's final days in Hollywood--Sept. 5th being the last day he ever set foot in the studio he built in 1918 and where he had made some of his most famous films. The next day, Charlie and Oona left California for London for the premiere of Limelight. Once at sea, Charlie learned that his reentry permit had been revoked by the U.S. government. He did not return to America until 1972 when he was awarded an Honorary Oscar.
On a more cheerful note: Happy Labor Day, U.S. fans. I hope some of you are enjoying a day off.
