Charlie Chaplin was born to both a mother and father who were entertainers. It was in 1889 that Charlie Chaplin came into this world in Walworth, London and within only a few years he was becoming a fine entertainer himself. It was when his mother succumbed to an illness when he was only 5 years old that Charlie hopped up on stage in order to sing a song his mother was supposed to sing.
Charlie Chaplin now had a career and he was beginning to make a name for himself. As a result, he was put out on a tour to be part of the musical The Eight Lancaster Lads when he was still only 8 years of age. To further things, he even had the opportunity to appear at the London Hippodrome in Giddy Ostende.
Charlie Chaplin would join up with the English Vaudeville Troupe which was headed by Fred Karno until he was 24 years old. By this time the troupe had made its way to New York and Charlie had met up with Mack Sennet where the two would make the choice to head out to Hollwood to enter into the silent film industry.
Within no time, Charlie would be in his very first film which was entitled Making a Living. He would continue on with Mack Sennet for another 35 films before making the choice to go with Essanay where he would do an additional 14 more films. From here, Charlie Chaplin would make the move to Mutual and Finally First National. While at First National, Warner Brothers would acquire the studio. Charlie was tired of moving studios all the time so he set out to found the United Artists along with Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks and D.W. Griffith. It was here in 1921 the movie the kid, Charlie's first full-length film, would be shot and released.
Unfortunately, where there is good, there is always bound to be some bad and when the U.S. Authorities were coming down hard on the filming industry, Charlie Chaplin was pulled into the middle and was accused of spreading communist beliefs through his films. As a result he fled to Switzerland and produce only 2 more films. The last of these which was entitled A Countess from Hong Kong was released in 1967 and was a complete failure; the only failed film of his entire career. He died on Christmas day back in 1977. - 17943
