Charlie Chaplin When He Was 27 Years Old
Have you ever seen Charlie Chaplin when he wasn’t playing the Tramp? He wasn’t at all like the unlucky bowler hat wearer! He was born into poverty as the son of a failing actress. He, too, took to the stage and then relocated to America from London! On the other side of the Atlantic, he made a name for himself quickly. The Tramp was based on his father’s memories. He said, “It was just released whole from somewhere deep within my father, it was really my father’s alter ego, the little boy who never grew up: ragged, cold, hungry, but still thumbing his nose at the world.”
