What was Charlie Chaplin famous for?

Answer 1

Charlie Chaplin, an English comic actor, is well-known for a variety of accomplishments, and contributions to film (particularly silent comedies). Chaplin co-founded United Artists, a film studio, with partners Douglas Fairbanks, D.W. Griffith, and Mary Pickford. He is well-remembered for playing his satirical version of Hitler in The Great Dictator, and being awarded an honorary Oscar in 1972 and receiving the longest standing ovation in Academy Award history (12 minutes). Chaplin is also notorious for his attraction to young girls (ephebophilia) and various marriages; Chaplin was also accused of "un-American activities" at the height of the McCarthy Era, and J. Edgar Hoover, the director of the FBI, kept extensive files on him. But perhaps, the thing Charlie Chaplin is most famous for is his film character, "The Tramp". The Tramp is a lovable vagabond who is recognizable by a few iconic characteristics: his walk, a bowler hat, a cane, and his toothbrush mustache. The Tramp appears in many of Chaplin's films.
