Although Charlie Chaplin (Charles Spencer Chaplin) was born in England and spent his early childhood in the UK, he came to the U.S. early on in his life. On his second stage tour of the U.S. at the age of 23, he roomed with Arthur Stanley Jefferson, who later was known as Stan Laurel of Laurel and Hardy fame. Laurel returned to England for a while but Chaplin stayed, being hired by Max Sennett for the Keystone Film Company.

The rest, as they say, was history - history leading to a long and incredibly talented career.

Do you know who this 21 year old is? He made millions laugh and tugged at the heartstrings of many. He can even make you laugh today - over 40 years after he died! (If you're sheltering in place, it's a great time to discover the old B&W movies.)
He was really nice looking.
Charlie Chaplin | The Gold Rush
Charlie Chaplin | The Gold Rush
The Gold Rush, 1925, was written by, produced by, directed by, and starred Charlie Chaplin. This is a scene in the movie in which the lead character, the Tramp (played by Charlie Chaplin), is starving and resorts to cooking and eating his show - with impeccable table manners.

While the original Gold Rush was a silent film, Charlie Chaplin reworked the original for a 1942 re-release. He added music and narration (by Chaplin) and changed a couple of details in the movie. It's been said The Gold Rush was the film by which he wanted to be remembered.

Chaplin's character was funny and poignant at the same time. He was an original - and a classic.
