The filmmaker Charlie Chaplin developed some of the most
iconic movies ever made. His work is studied worldwide. His style and
characters remain reference points for the film industry.
After joining D.W. Griffith, Mary Pickford and Douglas
Fairbanks in 1919 to create United Artists, Charlie Chaplin funded his own
movies and received the rewards of his creative genius.
In the beginning as a filmmaker, he started movies with
little more than an idea. He used the film process to flesh out ideas, and
develop stunts as the story line progressed. He worked from inspiration. When
he was not inspired, he took days off until the next and right idea came to him.
His process of filming sequentially created plot problems that needed to be
overcome later.
His artistry was not limited to comedic acting and film; he
was an accomplished musician who formed the Charles Chaplin Music Corporation.
He won an Oscar for best score for Limelight.

I just love that he was married to Oona O'Neill, daughter of one of my favorite playwrights, Eugene O'Neill.
Chaplin's genius will live on forever. His was a talent that will continue to translate even when people no longer particularly care about old movies.
