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.
From that point forward, Charlie was an entertainer himself. By the time he reached the fine young age of 8 years old, he was already on tour with a musical entitled The Eight Lancaster Lads. Soon after this he would make his appearance in Giddy Ostende where he played upon the stage at the London Hippodrome.
Chaplin would join up with Fred Karno and the English Vaudeville Troupe where he would continue acting until his arrival in New York City back in 1921. While in New York he would meet up with Mack Sennet and head off to Hollywood to start his career in the film industry as both a director as well as an actor.
Within a very short time, Charlie was already making films for Mack Sennet. He would continue on with Mack starting with Making a Living for a total of 35 films before switching to Essanay. At Essanay he would make another 14 films, move on to Mutual for 12 more films before finally arriving at First National. Within the year, First National was bought out by Warner Brothers and so Charlie Chaplin set off to start up United Artists along with Doug Fairbanks, Mary Pickford and D.W. Griffith. Only a year after starting United Artists, Charlie's first full-length film entitled The Kid would be 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. - 16755
