Charlie Chaplain was born in 1889 in London. His childhood was one of
extreme poverty and he did not have much schooling. But Charlie showed a gift for acting and longed to be an actor.
In 1910 Charlie went to the United States for the first time as part of a troupe and thus started his formal acting career. He was very successful in his acting and made about 80 films throughout his life. After World War I, Chaplin did not stop to rest on his earlier success. He gave up the Little Tramp character and tried to grow as an artist. Later Chaplin settled in Switzerland and stayed there for the rest of his life. He died in Switzerland on December 25, 1977 and the world lost one of the greatest creative artists of the 20th century.
