Sir Charles Spencer Chaplin Jr. KBE (16 April 1889 – 25 December 1977) was an English comedian, filmmaker, and composer best known during the silent cinema period. He is regarded as one of the most prominent people in the cinema business because of his movie persona, the Tramp. From his infancy in the Victorian period until a year before his death in 1977, his career lasted more than 75 years and was marked by both adoration and controversy.

Chaplin grew up in a poor and difficult environment in London. He was committed to a workhouse twice before the age of nine because his father was gone and his mother suffered financially. His mother was sent to a mental institution when he was 14 years old. Chaplin started his career as a stage actor and comedian at a young age, touring music halls and subsequently worked as a theatre performer. He was contracted to the Fred Karno firm at the age of 19, and he was sent to America. He was discovered by the film business and started working for Keystone Studios in 1914. He quickly adopted the Tramp identity and acquired a sizable following. He directed his own pictures and continued to improve his skills while working for Essanay, Mutual, and First National. He was one of the most well-known people in the world by 1918.

Chaplin co-founded United Artists, a distribution business that granted him unlimited control over his films, in 1919. The Kid (1921) was his debut feature-length picture, and it was followed by A Woman of Paris (1923), The Gold Rush (1925), and The Circus (1927). (1928). In the 1930s, he first declined to make sound pictures, instead opting for silent films like City Lights (1931) and Modern Times (1936). The Great Dictator (1940), a satire on Adolf Hitler, was his debut sound picture. Chaplin's popularity plummeted in the 1940s as a result of the controversies surrounding him. He was suspected of communist inclinations, and his participation in a paternity dispute and marriages to much younger women scandalized certain sections of the press and public. Chaplin was compelled to flee the United States and reside in Switzerland when an FBI inquiry was launched. Monsieur Verdoux (1947), Limelight (1952), A King in New York (1957), and A Countess from Hong Kong (1957) were his last films with the Tramp (1967).

Most of Chaplin's films he wrote, directed, produced, edited, acted in, and created the music for. He was a perfectionist, and his wealth allowed him to devote years to the creation and production of a film. His films are known for combining humor with melancholy, as seen by the Tramp's battles against hardship. Many of them have personal aspects as well as social and political concerns. In 1972, as part of a resurgent respect for his work, Chaplin won an Honorary Academy Award for "the immeasurable influence he has had in establishing motion pictures the art form of our century." His films The Gold Rush, City Lights, Modern Times, and The Great Dictator are often included in lists of the best movies ever made.
