Sophie's favourite well-known European figure is Chalie Chaplin



Charles Spencer Chaplin was born in 1889 in a poor neighbourhood of London in the UK.

He became a director, actor, composer, writer and producer of a many films. The Kid (1921), Modern Times (1936), and The Great Dictator (1940) are three of the best known.

His most famous character was The Tramp, a homeless person with the manners of a gentleman who wore a bowler hat and carried a walking stick.

His career started in 1913 in Hollywood. He received two honorary Oscars and an Oscar for best music. He died in 1977 in Switzerland aged 88.

I think his work is amazing because most of his films show the problems of society like poverty but with humour and pathos. For me, he was a true artist because he was hard-working and his films still make people laugh.
