Charlie Chaplin
Sir Charles Spencer "Charlie" Chaplin, KBE (English: Sir Charles Spencer "Charlie" Chaplin, April 16, 1889 - December 25, 1977), British comedian, screenwriter, and director. Charlie Chaplin was the most successful movie star in the early and mid-term Hollywood movies, laying the foundation for modern comedy movies. Together with Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton, he is known as the "three major comedians in the world". Charlie Chaplin's most classic image on the screen is wearing a white shirt, showing gentlemanly demeanor, wearing a narrow dress, large trousers and shoes, a boehler hat, holding a bamboo cane, and a mustache. The look of him wearing a boehler hat and black dress symbolizes comedy movies, so that many artists have imitated his performance style in the future. During the silent film period, Chaplin, as the most talented and influential figure in acting, wrote, directed, performed, and distributed his own films. From his performance as a child actor at the British Theater to his death at the age of 88, his career spanned more than 70 years (77 years).
