Charlie Chaplin: a biography
Sir Charles Spencer Chaplin, better known to us as Charlie Chaplin, was born in April 1889.
In the family of pop actors of the London Music Hall, he was the first child together.
Before marrying Charlie's father, Charles Spencer Chaplin, Hannah gave birth to her first son, Sidney Hill.
His father was a certain Jew Hawkes.
But after his marriage, Sidney Hill, like his half brother Charlie, received the surname Chaplin.
Charlie and his brother Sid had a happy early childhood.
My father was extremely popular.
He had a pleasant baritone voice, was regularly invited to London music halls and toured Europe a lot.
But soon the previously existing problem with alcohol worsened, and 37 year old Chaplin Sr. died in a hospital in London.
Charlie's widowed mother continued to perform in the music hall, but she began to have problems with her larynx.
One day, 5 year old Charlie Chaplin, whom his mother constantly took with him, had to replace his mother.
When she could not finish her song, the direct boy came on stage and began to sing himself.
Touched by the audience, he was pelted with coins and small bills.
Charles, having stopped singing, raised money to the laughter of the audience and only then finished singing.
Probably, then the creative biography of Charlie Chaplin began.
At the same time, his childhood ended.
Hanna was no longer able to perform.
And soon, when the boy turned 7 years old, his mother lost her mind, and she was placed in a psychiatric hospital.
Charlie and Sid ended up in an orphanage.
At the age of 9, Charlie Chaplin was accepted into the dance group "Eight Lancashire Guys".
It was here that he first made the audience laugh, portraying a cat in a Christmas pantomime in 1900.
But a year later, Charlie left the band.
He had to earn a living and simply did not have time to study and attend school.
Charlie Chaplin worked wherever he was hired.
He sold newspapers, helped nurses in the hospital, worked in a printing house.
At the age of 14, Chaplin's dream came true: Charlie was accepted for a permanent job in the theater and received the role of a messenger in the production of "Sherlock Holmes".
It is noteworthy that the teenager was illiterate.
Therefore, his brother Sid helped him learn the role.
Films In 1908, 19 year old Charlie Chaplin was accepted into the Fred Carnot Theater, where pantomimes and sketches for English music halls were prepared.
Very soon, the young man becomes a key actor in most performances.
After 2 years, the Carnot troupe goes on tour to America.
Then Charlie Chaplin decided that he would stay in the United States.
One day, Chaplin's performance was seen by Mack Sennett.
The American film producer liked the game so much that he invited the artist to work in his studio.
In September 1913, Charlie Chaplin signed a contract with Keystone.
The studio agreed to pay him $ 150 a week in salary.
Sennet even wanted to fire Charlie Chaplin, considering his decision to hire him reckless.
But a year later, the Englishman becomes a leading actor.
The audience likes this gruff hero of Mack Sennett's impromptu performances.
But they like the artist even more when he departs from the image invented by Sennet.
When Chaplin, playing a Chez (or Chase)invented by Sennet it brings more humanity and lyricism to the game, the audience welcomes the hero more warmly.
One day, Sennet asked Charlie Chaplin to somehow make up in a new way for the comedy film "Children's Car Racing".
Then the artist came up with his new image, which is now familiar to all of us.
These are wide trousers, a too narrow jacket (business card), a small bowler hat, huge shoes worn on the wrong foot, and a mustache.
Over time, the cane that Charlie saw in one of his father's photos was added to this familiar appearance.
The tramp instantly becomes mega popular.
But when Charlie Chaplin achieves success, he begins to realize that he can be a more successful screenwriter and director than those who manage him.
In 1914, Chaplin's first film appeared under the title "Caught in the Rain".
Here Charles performed not only as an actor, but also for the first time as a director and screenwriter.
Unlike the Keystone studio, from which Chaplin leaves, the Essence Film studio pays the artist $ 1,250 for a week of work and 10 thousand for a contract.
In 1916-17, "Mutual Film" pays the comedian even better: 10 thousand dollars a week and 150 thousand for the contract.
In 1917, Charlie Chaplin signed a contract with the First National studio in the amount of $ 1 million and became the most expensive actor of his time.
In 1919, Chaplin had his own film studio, United Artists.
Charles Chaplin worked at this studio until the early 1950s, when he was forced to leave America forever.
The most popular films shot by Charlie Chaplin at United Artists were the full length films "Parisian", "Gold Rush", "Big City Lights" and "New Times".
The picture "Parisian" was received coolly by the audience.
This is a psychological drama, where Chaplin appeared only as a cameo.
The habit of seeing a favorite image of a Little Tramp prevailed.
But critics highly appreciated the new work of Charlie Chaplin, recognizing his talent as an author.
"Gold Rush" and "Circus", released in the mid and late 1920s, were more warmly received and are considered classics of cinema.
When Chaplin came to his native London in the 1920s, and then to Paris, he was met by huge crowds of fans.
The second trip to Europe took place in the 1930s.
Charlie Chaplin brought his new tapes "Big City Lights" and "New Times".
Charlie Chaplin's debut in sound cinema took place in 1940.
It was the anti Hitler picture "The Great Dictator".
In addition, this was the last tape in which Chaplin appeared in the image of a Little Tramp.
With the release of the picture, Chaplin's persecution begins.
He is accused of anti American activities and adherence to communist ideas.
Edgar Hoover, the head of the American FBI, activates the collection of dossiers on Chaplin, which began in the 1930s.
The peak of the persecution came in the 1940s, when Charlie Chaplin made his film "Monsieur Verdoux".
It was banned by censorship.
The artist began to pour dirt on him.
Chaplin was accused of everything: ingratitude to the host country (the actor never accepted US citizenship), that he was a secret communist and a Jew.
They dug into their personal lives, pulling dirty laundry to the surface.
Nevertheless, the film "Monsieur Verdoux "was nominated for an Oscar for best screenplay.
It was possible to expel the artist from America in 1952, when Chaplin went to London for the premiere of his painting "Footlights".
Hoover obtained a ban from the immigration services on the artist's return to the United States.
Charlie Chaplin settled in the Swiss city of Vevey.
Anticipating that he may be expelled from the country, Charlie leaves a power of attorney for all his property to his wife.
And she, having sold everything, moves with the children to Switzerland.
The last years and the death In Switzerland, Charlie Chaplin continues to create.
He has written music for some of his silent films.
Voiced the "Gold Rush".
In 1948, the novel "Ramp", which formed the basis of the tape "Ramp Lights", was published from the pen of the artist.
In 1954, Chaplin was awarded the International Peace Prize.
And in 1957, Charlie Chaplin's film "The King in New York" was released, where the actor played the main role.
7 years later, the Great Mute published his memoirs, which formed the basis of the biographical picture "Chaplin", which the audience saw in 1992.
The last film of the artist "The Countess from Hong Kong" was staged in 1967.
Charlie Chaplin managed to visit the United States again in 1972.
He was given a short visa to arrive at the Oscar ceremony.
It was the second statue Charlie had received.
3 years later, Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain knighted Chaplin.
Charlie Chaplin died on December 25, 1977.
He left in his sleep.
The artist was buried at the cemetery in Vevey.

The actor's first wife was Mildred Harris.
The actors lived together for only 2 years.
Their first child, Norman, died almost immediately after birth.
Chaplin lived with his second wife Lita Gray for 4 years.
To marry 16 year old Lita, Charlie had to take her to Mexico, where the marriage was registered.
