CHARLES CHAPLIN

Hello, I'm Iago, from 6ºB and I am going to write about Charles Chaplin:

He was famous because he was the best silent films actor all over the world.
He was born in London in 1889, and he lived in the neighbourhood of Kensington during his youth from 1889 to 1910. He died in 1977 while he was sleeping.

His parents were singers and actors and they were very famous in some moments of his live. But his dad left the family because of his alcoholism very few time after Charles birth.
His first performance was when he was 5 years old.

Charles arrived at Hollywood in 1913, when he was 24. During his first year in Hollywood, he
played 35 short films with great success. Since then he went on making a lot of films and in
1929 he got his first Oscar. In 1950 he returned to Europe until his death.

He was not very tall (165 cm), he was very thin and with a fragile appearance.

Now, I am going to talk about his character: He was very emotional, also sentimental and
very melancholic in some matters too.

He could make laugh to people but he couldn't do magic tricks. He liked his bowler
hat but he didn't like to get divorced. He played the violin and finally, his favourite hobbie was to do short silent films.

Here you are one short silent film of this hero of the films:
