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's entertaining career began soon after this time. When he was only 8 years old, he was on tour with a musical group and played in the musical The Eight Lancaster Lads. Latter on he would 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.
Charlie Chaplin was making films in no time. He was making a lot of them too. Starting ff with his first film which was known as Making a Living, he would go on to make 35 more films with the same studio. After leaving Mack Sennet, he would join up with Essanay and play in 14 films followed by a stint with mutual for an additional 12 films. His next step was moving to First National who would later get bought out by the Warner Brothers Studio. Shortly after this acquisition, Charlie Chaplin along with D.W. Griffith, Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford would start up the United Artists and create Charlie's first full-length film, The Kid.
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. - 15615
