The caption on the back of this original press photo reads:
"Charles Chaplin and Paulette Goddard admitted last night that they were married. 'This is just a man and his wife spending a quiet night night together,' Chaplin told questioners in a jammed night club. 9/21/41"
I've always felt that they were NOT legally married. After Charlie's two previous bitter experiences with marriage, it's entirely concievable that he would avoid the "trap" at all costs, promising instead to take care of Paulette financially whatever may come.
