Original Title: TIL The 2001 film The Cat’s Meow, starring Kirsten Dunst, dramatizes the scandalous 1924 death of film mogul Thomas Ince on William Randolph Hearst’s yacht. With Charlie Chaplin allegedly flirting with Hearst’s mistress Marion Davies, many believe Hearst meant to shoot Chaplin—but hit Ince instead.
