Charlie Chaplin

Charlie Chaplin (1889–1977) was a British actor, director, composer, and producer who became cinema's first international superstar and one of its great formal innovators. Rising from London music halls and Mack Sennett's Keystone comedies, he created the Tramp — a character whose physical grace, sentimental humanism, and social bite shaped popular cinema for decades. He co-founded United Artists in 1919 to retain creative control, and continued making sound films laced with political satire and pathos. His acclaimed films include The Kid, The Gold Rush, City Lights, Modern Times, The Great Dictator, and Limelight.
