Charlie Chaplin

Comedian (1889–1977)

Charlie Chaplin was a comedic British actor who became one of the biggest stars of the 20th century’s silent-film era, with his career spanning over 75 years. Chaplin went on to become a director, making films such as City Lights and Modern Times, and co-founded the United Artists Corporation.

Charles Spencer Chaplin was born in London, England, on April 16, 1889, to a vocalist and actor father, and an attractive actress and singer mother, known under the stage name of Lily Harley. His father, a notorious drinker abandoned Chaplin, his mother and his older half-brother, Sydney, not long after Chaplin’s birth.

Chaplin’s mother, who would later suffer severe mental issues and have to be committed to an asylum, was able to support her family for a few years. However, in a performance that would introduce her youngest boy to the spotlight, Hannah lost her voice in the middle of a show, prompting the production manager to push the five-year-old Chaplin onto the stage to replace her.
