That whole Wikipedia page is really weird, isn’t it? Seems to be written by someone trying to minimise her bad side and make out she was better than she was. I particularly liked this failure point:
Her audiences appreciated her wit and ability to turn the tables on hecklers. Once a man asked her what the Astors had done for him and she responded with, “Why, Charlie, you know,”
I mean maybe you have to read it in Shakespeare’s tongue?
And yeah in that block about Nazism:
She told one Nazi official, who later turned out to be working against Nazis from within, that she supported their re-armament because Germany was “surrounded by Catholics”. She also told Joachim von Ribbentrop, the German Ambassador who later became the Foreign Minister of Germany, that Hitler looked too much like Charlie Chaplin to be taken seriously. These statements are the only documented incidents of her direct expressions to Nazis.
What?
