Charlie Chaplin was one of the first international
film stars. Between 1914 and 1967 he made dozens of comedy films that people around
the world enjoyed and he became very rich. It was a big change from his
childhood when he, his brother and his mother were living in London without
much money.
Chaplin moved to the USA at the age of 23. He was a
part of comedy show that appeared in theatres around the country. He became
very popular for his physical comedy. People loved the way he fell, rolled and
jumped on stage, while the other actors tried to sing songs or do other acts.
In 1913 he got a job with Mack Sennett, who ran a film company called Keystone.
Chaplin and Sennett decided that Charlie needed a new
character. Chaplin went into the costume store and started to try different
costumes on. He put on trousers and shoes that were too big, a jacket that was
too small and an old hat. He knew that he had found something special. This
character was ‘the little tramp’, a poor man with nowhere to live.
The audiences loved him from the start. He was a kind,
clever character who had bad luck in a difficult world. Films at the same time
were silent, but Charlie managed to communicate a lot of emotion – both happy
and sad – without words. Chaplin touched the hearts of people all over the
world.
