who the heck is charlie chaplin go watch something interesting like titanic get a life!
No, that was in Modern Times. In The Gold Rush he was a prospector.
Because everyone noticed that Hitler looked like Chaplin, so he thought he might as well make a protest film about the Nazi regime.
At first, the Americans were a bit nervous about upsetting the Germans, who were still an active trading partner in peacetime. But by the time the film came out in late-1940, nobody was worried about Hitler's feelings any more.
He played a tramp, who traveled to Alaska to take part in the Gold Rush.
didnt have one. he was an atheist. hated all religion
Actually, he was more an agnostic than an atheist. It's unaccurate to say he hated all religion. He just didn't practice anyone. Here comes handy to quote one of his son's testimony:
Charles Chaplin, Jr., My Father, Charlie Chaplin, pages 239-240:
Dad felt a special concern about The Great Dictator, for it was different in kind from any of his
other pictures. Always with them he had hoped for two things, to make people laugh and to
make money. But with The Great Dictator, there was something else involved: it had become
imperative to him to get across his outcry against the hell of war and the evils of oppression. For
the first time I heard my father speak seriously of prayer in connection with a picture.
"I'm praying, son, that this picture will have a good message and maybe help mankind a bit,"
he said to my suddenly one day. But he wouldn't have been my father if he hadn't added in a
humorous aside, "I'm also praying it will be a big hit, because I've spent a lot of money on it."
Dad was vague about who it was to whom he addressed his prayer. I never heard him speak of
God as a personal power or conjecture about what comes after death. He never even mentioned
death as far as I can recall. He wasn't one to adopt an organized religion, and he didn't care for
ritualistic services, though he openly and ardently admired the architecture of churches and
synagogues. He never forced his own beliefs on Syd and me, though occasionally he would
speak of them to us.
"I'm not an atheist," I can remember him saying on more than one occasion. "I'm definitely an
agnostic. Some scientists say that if the world were to stop revolving we'd all disintegrate. But
the world keeps on going. Something must be holding us all in place--some Supreme Force. But
what it is I couldn't tell you."

GLORIA SWANSON SHE WAS THE BEST AND HER LAST MAJOR FILM WAS SUN SET BOVLVARD BUT SHE AS MADE CAMAOS IN ALOT OF FILMS BEFOR HER DEATH
Greatest is a subjective term, what makes a silent film actor great? Greatest in general could mean most well known, or the actor who has been in the most films, or the actor who has given the most powerful/memorable performances. As an analogy, what is the "best" food? It's mostly a matter of taste, though many can agree that there are relative levels of quality between most common foods. While Gloria Swanson is considered one of the best, Charlie Chaplin is widely known as one of the "best" silent film actors.Charlie Chaplin actually had 3 different wives. His first was an actress called Mildred Harris whom he spent 2 years married to. She was born and died in the United States of America. His second wife, Lita Grey, was also an American actress although her mother came from Mexico. Chaplin spent 4 years with Lita, doubling his first marriage. Charlie Chaplin's final marriage last 34 years to Oona O'Neill. Oona was from Bermuda and moved to Switzerland with Charlie in their later years.
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.
