II. Background Information

1. Charlie Chaplin:(1889-1977) was a British comedy actor, becoming the most famous actor in the early to mid Hollywood cinema era, and also a notable director. His principal character was ―the Tramp‖: a vagrant with the refined manners and dignity of a gentleman who wears a tight coat, oversized trousers and shoes, a bowler hat, a bamboo cane, and his signature toothbrush moustache. Chaplin was one of the most creative and influential personalities in the silent film era: He acted in, directed, scripted, produced, and eventually even scored his own films. His working life in entertainment spanned over 70 years, from the British Victorian stage and Music Hall in England as a child performer, almost until his death at the age of 88.

His high-profile public and private life encompassed highs and lows of both adulation and controversy.
