6.Charles Chaplin,who died in 1977,is considered one of the greatest and funniest actors in the history of the cinema.During his lifetime,he acted in 13films,and he wrote,directed and acted in 69other films.Chaplin was born in London in 1889.When a poor boy,he was often seen waiting outside the London theaters,hoping to get work in show business.He could sing and dance,and above all,he knew how to make people laugh.But he couldn't get work and therefore wandered about the city streets.Sometimes he was sent away to a home for children who had no parents.
Charlie Chaplin first acted when he was five.He broke into show business because his mother,a music-hall performer,lost her voice during the performance and had to leave the stage,and Charlie went on and sang a well-known song.Halfway through the song a shower of money poured onto the stage.Charlie stopped singing and told the audiences he would pick the money first and then finish the song.The audiences laughed.This was the first of millions of laughs in Charlie Chaplin's fabulous career(神话般的生涯).
Twenty years later the same Chaplin became the greatest and best loved comedian in the world.His dream came true in the end.Chaplin became world-famous and almost a king in the world of the film.
Even people who don't understand English can enjoy Chaplin's films because they are mostly silent.The equipment for adding sound to films had not yet been developed.The development of films with sound became a problem for Chaplin,as he was uncertain about making films with dialogues.Instead,he continued to make films without dialogue,but he added music,which he wrote himself.It isn't what he says that makes us laugh.His comedy doesn't depend on words.It depends on little actions which mean the same thing to people the world over.
Chaplin's later films,however,were not well received.Chaplin lived most of his life in America and the last years in Switzerland,where he was buried at Christmas 1977,at the age of eighty-eight.There was sadness all over the world at the news of his death.
In his book,Chaplin tells us how to succeed in life.He says,"You have to believe in yourself.That's the secret."
