Episode 04: Top-Billying – from Chaplin to Lowe Talk About Sherlock

Playing Sherlock Holmes's pageboy Billy was an important step in both Charlie Chaplin's and Rob Lowe's careers.
Mattias Boström (author of the award-winning nonfiction book "From Holmes to Sherlock") talks about searching for the truth in questionable sources, reads from Rose Wilder Lane's 1915 text about Chaplin and William Gillette working together in "Sherlock Holmes", and finds an interview with 12-year-old Rob Lowe (yes, the famous actor) about playing the pageboy Billy.
