Charlie Chaplin was born in 1889 and died in 1977; he invented “the tramp”, one of the most famous characters in the history of movies.
This generous, clumsy vagabond was the great comic of silent movies from 1910 to 1920.
There are lots of expressions with the word Charlie in it, for example: “a right Charlie”, meaning an idiot.
Charlie Chaplin played “the tramp” but he also directed his films, wrote the stories and even composed the music!
