Charlie Chaplin
Born Apr 16, 1889 in Walworth, London, England, UK
Charles Chaplin was an English comic actor, film director and composer best-known for his work during the silent film era. He used mime, slapstick and other visual comedy routines, and continued well into the era of the talkies, though his films decreased in frequency by the end of the 1920s. His most famous role was that of The Tramp, which he first played in Kid Auto Races (1914). In 1999, the American Film Institute ranked Chaplin the 10th greatest male screen legend of all time.
