HIStory: MJ fulfills his childhood dream

(1979)

On June 16, 1988, Michael Jackson performed a concert at St. Jakob Stadium in Basel, Switzerland, which was attended by Bob Dylan and close friend Elizabeth Taylor. 

The following day, he paid a visit to Oona O’Neill Chaplin, the widow of Michael’s biggest idol, silent film legend Charlie Chaplin, who told Michael he and her late husband had a lot in common since they both rose to success and distinction from poverty.

Michael said after the meeting, “I have just fulfilled my biggest childhood dream.”
