Charlie

Charles Spencer Chaplin. Born 122 years ago today. The man who with a mustache, bowler hat, cane, and ill-fitted suit launched one of the screen's most indelible characters, was a genius in the true sense of the word. An actor, writer, director, and composer, he created characters and stories that still move audiences today. While making people laugh, he would simultaneously break their hearts. And without saying a word, he managed to give a voice to the working man and bring a dignity to even the most destitute. Happy Birthday Little Tramp.
