Sir Charlie Chaplin: Iconic British Comic Actor And Director ... Sir Charlie Chaplin was born into a poor London family of music hall entertainers on April 16th 1889. Even as a child he found success as a performer, making his stage debut in 1894....
We [actors] are indeed a strange lot! There are times we doubt that we have any emotions we can honestly call our own. I have approached every dynamic scene change in my life the same way. When I married charlie MacArthur, I sat down and wondered how I could play the best wife that ever was.... My love for him was the truest thing in my life; but it was still important that I love him with proper effect, that I act loving him with great style, that I achieve the ultimate in wifedom.
—Helen Hayes (1900–1993)
After the first couple of months, she and charlie didn’t see much of each other except at breakfast. It was a marriage just like any other marriage.
—Orson Welles (1915–1985)
