Charlie Chaplin was born on April 16, 1889.

Jim Carrey is often compared to Charlie Chaplin due to his physical comedy, expressive facial gestures, and ability to blend humor with emotion. Both comedians excel in slapstick and have a unique talent for conveying deep feelings through their performances. Additionally, Carrey's versatility allows him to seamlessly transition between comedic and dramatic roles, reminiscent of Chaplin's work in both silent films and talkies.

As an actor, Charles Chaplin appeared in 86 films, beginning with "Making a Living" (1914) and ending with "A Countess from Hong Kong" (1967).

He directed 72 films beginning with "Twenty Minutes of Love" (1914) and ending with "A Countess from Hong Kong" (1967).

Charlie Chaplin lived in several places throughout his life, primarily in England and the United States. He was born in London and later moved to the United States, where he resided in various locations, including Hollywood, where he built his iconic estate, the Chaplin Studio. Additionally, he lived in Switzerland later in life. Overall, his residences spanned multiple cities and countries, reflecting his diverse and international lifestyle.

They were co-founders of United Artists.

The only film in which they both appeared was _Hollywood_ (1923), in which they both played themselves in cameo roles (as did scores of other stars).

(New respondent)

Pickford said there were just two words to describe what Chaplin was like to work with: "Im" "Possible".

His middle name was Spencer, and it is not impossible that they were related through some remote link.

Alternatively, the name could have come from a servant of the Spencer family. Oliver Cromwell's grandfather changed his name to Cromwell as a gesture of loyalty to his patron Thomas Cromwell. American slaves also used to do this, whether voluntarily or not, I don't know.

However, Chaplin is supposed to have been mostly Romany-Jewish, and the name Spencer may have been chosen as an Anglicised version of a foreign name.

The very first Chaplin film, Making a Living, Chaplin cons a journalist out of some money. He applies for a job at his newspaper. Whilst the journalist is helping a trapped motorist Edgar steals the camera with the picture of the accident and rushes back to the paper with it. He steals the headlines. A short pursuit with the police ensues.

No, Charlie Chaplin had to spend his childhood in poverty and hardship.

Cocaine. The prisoner was smuggling cocaine and in order to keep from getting caught, he poured the coke into the salt-shaker. When The Tramp mistakes it for salt and eats it, that is why he becomes crazy and hyperactive.

As a child he grew up in extreme poverty with his single mother and older half-brother. After his father died when he was 12, his mother suffered a nervous breakdown (perhaps because of malnutrition, grief or syphilis) and Charlie and his brother were sent to a workhouse.

Charlie also spent some time on the streets as a young boy, doing odd jobs and stealing food. He went to school for a few months, but was largely illiterate. His mother never recovered, and he was very grieved to see her quick deterioration.
