I heard that as Charlie Chaplin was spending more time to actually live in Switzerland, he would be living too close to an Army base. He stated a noise-complaint, and the army personell would just up and leave due to the complaint. Did that really happen? --2001:4644:DC5B:0:3C62:FE6:1D7E:6714 (talk) 14:50, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Split of Biography section?
The Biography section seems to be extremely long and should probably be split up as it would be easier to navigate through. 2600:1008:B100:D264:E90A:36FE:3358:F1C9 (talk) 00:03, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
