My Autobiography Charles Chaplin

NAPOMENA : RIJETKI PRIMJERAK !!!! (antikvarno)

Charlie Chaplin, who tells the story of his life in this book, was born in London in 1889. Both his father and mother were on the stage. Parts of his childhood were spent in extreme poverty and for a period his mother lived with him and his elder brother, Sydney (later his manager), in the Lambeth workhouse. Eventually he obtained work as a comedian with Fred Karno's company and toured the United States, where he was asked to join the Keystone Comedy Film Company in Los Angeles. Chaplin made a string of 'single-reelers' for Keystone in 1914 and was soon in a position to dictate his own terms, so immediate and overwhelming was the success of his 'tramp'. He made films for Essanay, Mutual, and First National between 1915 and 1923, when United Artists (the com-pany formed principally by himself and the Fairbanks) started to claim all his time. His outstanding full-length successes have been The Kid, The Gold Rush, City Lights, Modern Times, The Great Dictator, and Limelight, but his immense reputation was created by the 'off-the-cuff" fooling of his short early films. He is married to Oona, the daughter of Eugene O'Neill, the playwright; and has three sons and five daughters, as well as two sons by a previous marriage. Charlie Chaplin, who is now domi-ciled in Switzerland, completed The Countess of Hong-Kong at Pinewood Studios in 1967. He returned to the United States for a visit in April 1972.
He was awarded the K.B.E. in January 1975.
