=Charlie Chaplin= Sir Charlie Spencer Chaplin, one of the most known names of silent films, was born on April 16, 1889, died 1977, Christmas Day. His most famous character was the Tramp. In 1919, he co-founded United Artists, with other silent film stars such as Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, and D.W. Griffith. His body was stolen a year after his death, by a small group of Swiss mechanics, in an attempt to ransom it for money to his family. They were captured, and the body returned. Chaplin's film Modern Times, filmed in 1936 depicted the loveable tramp(this would be the Tramp character's last movie) trying to hold down a job. This reflected the Great Depression, showing people trying to get work, and form unions, along with people being laid off, and striking.
