Charlie Chaplin | Comic Actor, Composer

Financial hardship is in Charlie Chaplin’s DNA. When he was younger, his family was so poor they probably did not have enough money to pay the mortgage. Because of this, he strived to make himself better and dreamed big. He began performing in music halls at a young age, and when he grew older, he became a stage actor and comedian. At 19, he was already signed up with the Fred Kamo company, and in 1914, he appeared for Keystone Studios.

By 1918, Chaplin was already one of the most famous figures in the world. Many of his films became noteworthy, like A Woman in Paris and Gold Rush. He was a perfectionist when it comes to making movies, and with his financial independence, he had the freedom to do what he wanted. During the last two decades of his career, Chaplin spent a good deal of time re-editing his old films for re-release, one of which was The Chaplin Revue, which drove fans crazily happy.
