| + | Sir '''Charles Spencer Chaplin''', KBE ([[London]], [[England]], 1889 - Vevey, [[Switzerland]], December 25, 1977), was an English actor, considered to be one of the pivotal stars of the silent film era. Indeed, he created the concept of [[Hollywood]] stardom, whereby the public would see a movie based on who was in it, rather than what it was about. He is associated with the popular "Little Tramp" character; a man with the toothbrush mustache, bowler hat, bamboo cane, and a funny walk. His parents were music hall performers. |
