Братцы, а что - был такой факт, что Лев Троцкий перед своей близкой кончиной вступил в очень неформальные отношения с женой Диего Риверы или это кинематографическое допущение-прием такой? Ему ведь немного-нимало за 60 было, а Вайагры тогда еще не изобрели! Это что ж такое получается, а? Верить ли такому кино или нет? Или такое может случиться в реальности даже у 60-летнего от любви к прекрасной женщине 33-х лет от роду?

знал, что без него не обойдется

в связи с этим возникает вопрос - а не является ли еврейская принадлежность мужчины необходимым условием в этой задаче?

He-he. Charlie Chaplin wasn't Jewish. This is a very common misconception, which has its origin, I believe, in the well-known song by Vysotzki. So, to answer your question - no, being Jewish is not a requirement :)

да понятно, что везде пишут "англичанин"

на самом деле просто искали плохо. Надо на это дело антисемитов натравить, они мигом все откопают!

I don't know for sure but always thought that his mother was a Jew.
Her name was Hannah Hillin, and she was born somewhere in New York.

This is what I found: (his mother's name is Hanna Hill, Hillin :)

According to all his biographies (some of which trace his lineage back to
the Huguenots - French Protestants), Chaplin was not Jewish. His older
half-brother Sydney probably had a Jewish father. No-one is absolutely
sure, since the man never married Chaplin's mother. (No doubt he did not
believe in intermarriage...) That seems to be the sum total of Chaplin's
Jewish family connection. Charlie's father was Charles Chaplin Sr.

Many people mistakenly thought Chaplin was Jewish, especially after "The
Great Dictator" and his other public defenses of the Jews. It is well
known that Chaplin identified strongly with the Jewish people. During
World War II he stopped denying he was Jewish, since he felt that to do
that was "playing into the hands of anti-semites". Presumably he meant
that denial implied shame.

Hill is short of Hillin. It does not sound French to me. :-)
