1952: Charlie Chaplin banned from the US
Newly released files from the National Archives reveal that MI5 opened a file on Charlie Chaplin in 1952 after the FBI asked them for help. Here's how the Guardian reported on the United States' treatment of the star at the time
September 1952 marked Charlie Chaplin's first visit to England in 21 years; yet it also marked the beginning of his exile from the United States. The trip to Europe was meant to be a brief one to promote his new film Limelight, with Chaplin remarking upon his departure that "I shall probably be away for six months, but no more." However, on 19 September, while Chaplin was still at sea, the US Attorney-General announced plans to lauch an inquiry into whether he would be re-admitted to the US. In the end it would be 20 years before he would return.
