Born on April 16, 1889, Charlie Chaplin's father is a vocalist and actor; Her mother is an actress and opera singer. Taking his talent from his family, Chaplin made his professional debut as a member of 'The Eight Lancashire Lads'. He quickly gained popularity as an outstanding tap dancer.

Charlie began his career as a comedian, but in 1910 a company took him to the United States as a featured actor. Popular with American audiences for his character in the sketch "Night at the English Music Hall," Chaplin was offered a motion picture when he returned to the United States in 1912.

He agreed to appear in front of the camera in 1913, and Charlie made his film debut when he joined Mack Sennett and the Keystone Film Company. Over time, he made 12 two-reel comedies, contracting with other companies to larger sums.

Desiring more freedom and more time making his films, Chaplin decided to become an independent producer. For this purpose, he established his own studio in the heart of Hollywood's La Brea Street.

After 1918 he turned his attention to war. For this, he made a national tour and made the movie "Bonds". Also released in 1918, 'Shoulder Sleeves' did wonders at the box office and popularized Chaplin's popularity.

1921’de sinemadan çekilip dinlenmeye ihtiyaç duydu. Uzun tatilin ardından Chaplin, resim çalışmalarına devam etmek için döndüğü Hollywood’da uzun metrajlı 8 film yaptı.

 

Charlie Chaplin'den bize kalan bazı güzel sözler:

• Kahkahasız geçen bir gün boşa geçmiş bir gündür.
• Çok fazla düşünüyor ama çok az hissediyoruz.
• Nefret geçer, diktatörler ölür. Halktan aldıkları iktidar, halka geri döner. İnsanlar ölür, hürriyet ölmez.
• Hayat, uzak çekimde komedi, yakın planda trajedidir.
• Aşağı bakıyorsanız asla gökkuşağı bulamazsınız.
• Sonunda her şey bir şakadır.
