Charlie Chaplin

Everybody knows Chaplins iconic Tramp - the little fellow with the bowler hat and the oversized shoes. Inmasterpieces as Modern Times, City Lights, The Great Dictator Charlie appears as an extraordinary performer and a complex artist, a maker of films that were and still are poignant, funny and deeply relevant.

All I need to make a comedy is a park, a policeman and a pretty girl.

Life is a beautiful magnificent thing, even to a jelly fish.

Life can be wonderful if you're not afraid of it. All it takes is courage, imagination ... and a little dough.

'You'll never find a rainbow if you're looking down'

"We felt that the public, and especially the children, like animals that are cute and little. I think we are rather indebted to Charlie Chaplin for the idea. We wanted something appealing, and we thought of a tiny bit of a mouse that would have something of the wistfulness of Chaplin a little fellow trying to do the best he could."

"The cinema

IS Chaplin."

V. Lindsay

"I remain just one thing, and one thing only, and that is a clown. It places me on a far higher plane than any politician."

Brunettes are trouble, they are worse than Jews.

Michael Jacksons song Smile was originally composed

by Charlie and used as an instrumental theme in his film Modern Times

Smile, though your heart is aching,

Smile, even though it's breaking.

When there are clouds in the sky-

You'll get by.

If you smile through your fear and sorrow,

Smile and maybe tomorrow

You'll see the sun come shining through

For you.

Light up your face with gladness,

Hide every trace of sadness.

Although a tear may be ever so near,

That's the time you must keep on trying,

Smile, what's the use of crying?

You'll find that life is still worthwhile,

If you just smile.
