Charlie Chaplin
Charlie Chaplin was one of the greatest and widely loved silent movie stars. From "Easy
Street" (1917) to "Modern Times" (1936), he made many of the funniest and most popular
films of his time. He was best known for his character, the naive and lovable Little Tramp.
The Little Tramp, a well meaning man in a raggedy suit with cane, always found himself
wobbling into awkward situations and miraculously wobbling away. More than any other
figure, it is this kind-hearted character that we associate with the time before the talkies.
Born in London in 1889, Chaplin first visited America with a theater company in 1907.
Appearing as "Billy" in the play "Sherlock Holmes", the young Chaplin toured the country
twice. On his second tour, he met Mack Sennett and was signed to Keystone Studios to act in
films
