Who has not heard of Charlie Chaplin? He is infamous in his own right and owes his talents to both a mother as well as a father who were entertainers. He was born in Walworth, London in the UK back on April 16th of 1889 and by the time he reached the ripe age of only 5 years old and in response to his mother falling ill, Charlie Chaplin rose up onto the stage in order to sing the song his mother was asked 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.
It was Fred Karno who would invite Charlie to join his English Vaudeville Troupe, where he would stay until he reached the age of 24. This of course also coincided with the troupe's arrival in New York City. Along with Mack Sennet, Charlie would head off to Hollywood where he would start his new career as an actor and a director.
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.
One of the biggest controversies in the motion picture industry was when the U.S. Authorities were on a head hunt for communists. They accused Charlie Chaplin of being a communist and spreading those beliefs through the use of his films. He chose to go to Switzerland after that and during which he created two additional films. The second one was to be his final. In 1967, A Countess from Hong Kong was released and flopped marking the first and only failure of Charlie Chaplin's career and a decade later in 1977 on Christmas Day, the infamous Charlie Chaplin would pass away.
