Epitaph
"Little man,
When you're here with me,
I understand that I donot have to hide anymore…
I will pray
Just about being there, there, with you,
When you can reach the sun with your hand."
From the song by singer Dalida "Little Man", dedicated to Charlie Chaplin
Biography
He surpassed his own parents — a failed music hall actress and a poorly successful dramatic and genre singer.
And although his childhood was spent in poverty and starvation and at one time he even had to wander, he was able to become one of the most famous actors and directors in the history of world cinema.
Decades have passed since the death of Charlie Chaplin, and he remains the only and inimitable, the most beloved comedian of all time.
Perhaps it is precisely because the biography of Charlie Chaplin, his difficult and hungry childhood, was reflected in his work, that he was able to win the hearts of millions of people around the world.
For the first time, little Charlie set foot on the stage at the age of nine, as part of a children's ensemble, with which he traveled around the provincial towns of England.
In his childhood and youth, Chaplin worked as anyone — he performed with songs and dances, delivered newspapers, sawed wood, blew glass.
At the age of 18, he joined the Carnot troupe, and soon the talented boy was noticed — the actor Chaplin signed a contract with a film studio and moved to live in Los Angeles.
Thus began the star trek in the biography of Chaplin.
Immediately after the films with Chaplin began to be successful, Charlie wanted to make his own movie, and his first picture "Caught in the Rain" became one of the best works of the film studio.
Of the 35 films in which he starred during the year of work at Keystone, two thirds of the pictures were directed by Chaplin himself, according to his scripts.
Chaplin was incredibly successful — in 1915 he made twelve films for the Essenay Studio in Chicago, where the image of "tramp Charlie" first appeared.
In 1916 — he was already receiving more than half a million dollars a year, having signed a contract with Mutual.
As soon as this became possible, Charlie created his own film studio and gained the desired independence.
Chaplin shot his classic films such as "Gold Rush" and "Circus" on his own.
In the 50s, the United States was stirred up by the "McCarthyist" movement, directed against any communist sentiments, of which Chaplin was also accused.
During his next trip to Europe, supporters of "McCarthyism" ensured that Chaplin was banned from returning to the country.
The great comedian settled in Switzerland, where he lived the last years of his life with his last wife and Chaplin's children and even published a book of memoirs called "My Biography".
He again created his own film studio and continued to make films.
After Chaplin's death, there were several dozen scripts that the director worked on.
Charlie Chaplin died on Christmas Night at the age of 88.
Chaplin's funeral was modest, attended only by members of his family, including Chaplin's famous daughter, actress Geraldine Chaplin.
Chaplin's grave is located in the cemetery of the Swiss city of Vevey, where Chaplin lived after his exile from the United States.
It was not enough for him to have a successful acting career, first of all Chaplin was an author, a creator

Episodes of life
One day, Charlie Chaplin incognito decided to take part in a competition of Tramp doubles, in the image of which he appeared in films.
The competition was held in one of the theaters in San Francisco.
Interestingly, the unidentified Chaplin did not even make it to the final.
In 1940, Chaplin made his famous film "The Great Dictator", in which he ridiculed Hitler.
He himself starred in this film in two roles at once — the Jewish barber Charlie and the German dictator Hinkel.
Chaplin's quote, uttered by him during the filming, flew all over the world: "Dictators are ridiculous.
I want people to laugh at them."
It is also known that the film was sent to Hitler and he watched it, after which Chaplin admitted that he would give anything just to find out what Hitler thinks about his film.
After his exile, Chaplin came to the United States only once — in 1972, to receive an honorary Academy Award, but even then he was given a limited visa.
Chaplin was ready for any attacks, but his appearance during the ceremony caused an incredible storm of applause.
Chaplin was so touched by such a reception that he could hardly find the words.
Chaplin had 12 children from several marriages.
He was especially fond of his daughter Geraldine.
Already at the age of 76, during the period of her search for herself on the stage, he once wrote Geraldine a letter — an emotional and deeply personal one, in which he gave her wise and loving advice from the height of his experience.
One of Chaplin's famous quotes from this letter is: "I was not an angel, but I always aspired to be a human being.
Try your best, too."
Charlie Chaplin with his last wife, Una, with whom they were married for 34 years
Testaments
"It doesnot matter where to live, it's important — with whom.
Your naked body should belong to someone who loves your naked soul."
"I believe that the power of laughter and tears can become an antidote to hatred and fear."
Charlie Chaplin at the ceremony of awarding him the honorary Academy Award (in English)
Condolences
"Chaplin was not just a big man, he was a giant.
In 1915, he burst into the world like a ghost with his gift of comedy, laughter and help, at a time when everything was torn apart in the First World War, and for the next 25 years both during the Great Depression and during the rise of Adolf Hitler — he continued to create…
It is unlikely that any other person will ever be able to bring more joy, pleasure and relief at a time when most people need them so much."
Martin Siff, journalist
