Sir Charles Spencer Chaplin Jr. KBE was an English comic actor, filmmaker, and composer who rose to fame in the era of silent film.
Charlie Chaplin learned to perform onstage, debuting at age five (filling in for his mother) and becoming a professional entertainer at age eight as a clog dancer.
For over a century, Charles Chaplin’s “Little Tramp” has been a global icon. His signifiers are simple: the derby hat and cane; the toothbrush mustache; the tight jacket and baggy trousers; the giant shoes.
For his creation of the Tramp, Chaplin was and is considered a genius of the highest order, incomparable in his capacity to combine comedy and pathos and to marry high and low culture, beloved by the masses and the intelligentsia alike.
Sir Charlie Chaplin teaches us to respect every individual no matter how inferior he or she is! Simply stated, treat the other person the way you would treat yourself.
