Just recently I was thinking about movies and who is the greatest comedian of all times. Of course the names which crossed my mind where Ben Stellar, Dave chapelle,or Eddie Murphy. But anyway, you have to give some credit to Charlie Chaplin because in his times though of the slow economy and the world war. Nevertheless, the miserable life that he lived, he has become the best innovative comedian of his time, so here is a little something about his life.

(1889- 25 December 1977), gained world fame as a comedian. Born in London, he began his career as music –hall actor. In 1910 he went to America, and form 1915 made many silent films. He created the part of a little tramp in baggy clothes, a bowler hat, and film carrying a bamboo cane, whose comic antics and bewilderment with the world about him amused film audiences everywhere. Among the many silent films in which he appeared were Easy Street, The Immigrant, The Kid, and The Gold Rush. Chaplin formed his own film company in 1918 and wrote and directed all his later films. After sound was added to films he made fewer pictures, but they included successes as Modern Times, The Great Dictator, and limelight for which he also wrote the music.
