Charlie Chaplin ~ born in a gypsy caravan!
A letter declaring his secret was delivered six years before his death in 1977. He hid the letter in a bureau drawer found by his daughter when she inherited the piece after her mother, Oona's death in 1991.
A locksmith broke in and revealed his Romany heritage - born in the caravan of a Gypsy Queen, his aunt, in the Black Patch, a thriving Gypsy community on the outskirts of bustling Birmingham in 1889.
A twentieth century icon famous for his Little Tramp character had survived a tough work house childhood. The family home in Montreux, Switzerland may be opened as a museum in celebration of the life of the great star of silent film.
