Charles Spencer Chaplin was born on 16 April 1889 to 20 hoursin a suburb of London. His mother, Lily Harley, was an actress in a comedy. His father, also an artist of music hall, left the family when Charles was still small. A serious problem of laryngitisended the career of the young Lily Harley, forcing CharlesChaplin artistic debut with only five years old.
The first years of life were spent in orphanages Chaplin, and Chaplin was found in them where all the elements that would use later in the scripts of the films he directed and performed.This first stage of his life did not have the humor or irony with which the filmmaker touched audiences around the world.
The teenager Chaplin won a place in the company of FredKarno acrobat, presented by his brother Sidney. Karno, who was a hit with mime shows, once had five companies, performing inall at once. Chaplin quickly overcame the artist Harry Weldon, with whom he shared a number and, in 1909, had its first season in Paris.
