| Although Gillette "retired" from the stage many times, retirement, at least in Gillette's case, never meant inactivity. In 1919, following his first retirement from the stage, Gillette built a twenty-four-room castle overlooking the Connecticut River at Hadlyme, Connecticut. He added a three-mile miniature railway over which he enjoyed driving a variety of guests including Dr. Albert Einstein. |
