Mo Rothman, studio exec who revived interest in silent movie icon Charlie Chaplin, dies at 92

His family tells the Los Angeles Times (http://lat.ms/rkntcq) that Rothman died on Sept. 15. The New York Times (http://nyti.ms/rfvTeU ) reported Monday that his wife, Lyn, confirmed the death.

Rothman was a United Artists manager when he met Chaplin in the 1950s.

Chaplin’s image was later tarnished by sex scandals and liberal politics. He moved to Switzerland with the rights to his movies in a bitter, self-imposed exile.
