Wikipedia Text

Virginia Cherrill (April 12, 1908 - November 14, 1996) was an American actress best known for her role as the blind flower girl in Charlie Chaplin's City Lights (1931). She married an English earl in the 1940s, and is also known as Virginia Child-Villiers, Countess of Jersey.

Couple Profile

With her extraordinary blue eyes and fragile but strong demeanor, it is small wonder that Charles Chaplin saw in Virginia Cherrill the perfect blind flower girl for his last totally silent film, City Lights (1931). He spotted her at a boxing match and, though she was a socialite with no acting experience, was impressed by her ability to feign sightlessness and so made her his co-star. Though a silent film in the age of talkies, City Lights was one of Chaplin`s most popular and poignant movies. Cherrill was absolutely luminous and she seemed to have a bright future in film. Indeed, she subsequently appeared in several more films through the early `30s, including Girls Demand Excitement (1931) and Fast Workers (1933). But she left acting after marrying leading man Cary Grant, whom she met at the premiere of Blonde Venus (1932). The marriage crashed two years later and Cherrill moved to England where she resumed her film career in such films as Troubled Waters (1936). Cherrill left films for good after marrying the ninth Earl of Jersey in 1937. That marriage ended in 1946. Cherrill spent much of WWII working for the Red Cross and performing charity. During the war she married pilot Florian Martini. Cherrill passed away in a Santa Barbara hospital at the age of 88. The cause of death was unreported.
