In 1889, on April sixteenth, in London, a son was born in the acting family of Lily and Charles Chaplin, who was named Charles Spencer Chaplin.
Children's years of the artist
The biography of Charlie Chaplin - the future great comedian actor - was far from cloudless. The boy practically did not see his father, since he drank a lot. And her mother made good money in the theater, until she lost her voice, and with it work. Therefore, childhood was a period of hardship and difficulties with rare gleams of happiness.
The path to the career of a film artist was long and difficult, although Charlie Chaplin tried himself on stage at a very young age and, I must say, not unsuccessfully. Since the mother lost her job, the family lived interrupted by random earnings, which for the time being allowed them
to make ends meet. Charlie Chaplin, whose biography is full of ups and downs, never gave up and never gave up.
As a child, their family repeatedly got into a workhouse because of their poverty and misery. But as the actor himself later told, for them with his brother it was something in the form of travel, a change in the environment. Only when they were sent to a shelter with his brother, having separated at the same time, Charlie Chaplin fully realized the bitterness of his fate. A biography, a brief history of his childhood in particular, can be described as a constant search for opportunities for a more or less normal life.
The mother lost her mind from deprivation and adversity, she was placed in a psychiatric
the clinic. During this period of time, the biography of Charlie Chaplin talks about his life with his father. My father had a different family by then, and Charlie Chaplin was considered a free labor force in her. In the end, the mother recovered and took them with her brother to her.

Charlie Chaplin's biography recorded this moment when the boy consciously formed a desire to make the audience laugh.
