Katie Cuoric Interviews Jackie Coogan

KC: In what ways did Charlie Chaplin become a father figure to you?

JC: I was his plaything.

KC: He abused you?

JC: No. I was his puppet. I had my own father really. Didn't need that from Charlie.

KC: You call him Charlie still?

JC: That was his name.

KC: And being a child working with such a well know figure at the time.

JC:

KC:

JC: Was there a question?

KC: Were you really crying as the people from the orphanage ripped you away from Chaplin?

JC: Really crying? I was crying, but acting like I was crying.

KC: But describe how you wanted to kill yourself when they tried to take you from your father. In detail if you would.

JC:

KC: I know it must be hard. But if you could. If you could cry now while you think about how Chaplin was like your father.
