The Life of Charlie Chaplin

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Charlie Chaplin made an amazing seventy-one films by the time he was only thirty-three years old. He was known not only as the world's first international movie star, but as a comedian, a film director, and a man ripe with scandal, accused of plagiarism, communism, pacifism, liberalism, and anti-Americanism. He seduced young women, marrying four different times, each time to a woman younger than the last. In this animated biography of Chaplin, Joyce Milton reveals to us a life riddled with gossip and a struggle to rise from an impoverished London childhood to the life of a successful American film star. Milton shows us how the creation of his famous character-the Tramp, the Little Fellow-was both rewarding and then devastating as he became obsolete with the changes of time. Trampis a perceptive, clever, and captivating biography of a talented and complicated man whose life was filled with scandal, politics, and art.
