After leaving the RAF, he gained roles in the theatre and began to make a name for himself as a promising upcoming actor. His positive theatre reviews led to some very good parts in films, which soon led to offers from Hollywood. This move to Hollywood would cement his reputation as an international star. Influential Hollywood films included: The Robe (1953), My Cousin Rachel (1952), and Alexander the Great (1956). One of the most significant films was the epic 1962, film – Cleopatra, which he played opposite Elizabeth Taylor.

He replaced Stephen Boyd as Mark Anthony in the film Cleopatra opposite Elizabeth Taylor. Their off-screen romance made headlines around the world, and after divorcing their respective spouses, they married in 1964. “If I had a chance for another life, I would certainly choose a better complexion… I rather like my reputation, actually, that of a spoiled genius from the Welsh gutter, a drunk, a womanizer; it’s rather an attractive image. When he reached the age of 50, after a five-year career slump. I can only say with Edith Piaf, ‘Je ne regrette rien’.” Richard Burton “Richard Burton, 58, is Dead; Rakish Stage and Screen Star” Richard Burton appeared in many of the most popular films of the 1960s and 1970s; with his good looks and charisma, he was seen as a guaranteed box office draw and gained the lead role in a variety of films. However, he always retained an attraction to the theatre and acted in many notable roles, such as King Arthur in Camelot (Broadway) and Hamlet (London). Burton was a prolific actor, and due to high spending commitments rarely refused work.

Influential film roles included the films, The Kid (1921) and The Great Dictator (1940) “Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot” – Charlie Chaplin Short bio Charlie Chaplin Chaplin was born in London, 16 April 1889, to parents who worked in the entertainment industry. At an early age, his alcoholic father passed away, and later his mother had a breakdown and was taken to an asylum. This left Charlie and his brother to fend for themselves. Following in their parent’s footsteps, they were drawn to the musical hall, and Charlie gained a prominent reputation as a performer. Charlie ChaplinIn 1910, Charlie travelled to America and gained experience in the fledgeling film industry. It was here in America that he was to develop his first famous characters such as the Tramp – the trademark Charlie Chaplin character of a bowler hat, moustache and ill-fitting clothes. Charlie Chaplin became the great star of the silent era, and his popularity spread throughout the globe. Charlie Chaplin had tremendous intensity. He would finance, write and direct all his films himself. He was a great perfectionist and would make his actors perform scenes up to 100 times to get it just right. Yet he also liked to improvise much of his performances and would not stick rigidly to a script. Charlie ChaplinSome of his most famous films include – City Lights (1931) and The Great Dictator (1940). The Great Dictator was a satire on the totalitarian dictators of Hitler and Mussolini. Chaplin himself played two roles – a Jewish barber, who was discriminated against. He also played the role of the “Adenoid Hynkel – dictator of Tomania a clear parody of Adolf Hitler. The film was made one year before the US entered the war against Germany, and was controversial at a time when anti-Semitism was rife in America. Despite his parody of Hitler in this film, Chaplin refused to publicly endorse the war effort in 1942 – causing the authorities to become suspicious of his political leanings. “Wars, conflict, it’s all business. One murder makes a villain. Millions a hero. Numbers sanctify.” Monsieur Verdoux (1947); Charlie ChaplinIn the post-war period, the FBI under J Edgar Hoover kept close tabs on Chaplin because of his perceived left-wing ‘ Communist views’ Eventually, the US authorities decided to revoke his entry visa into the US and Chaplin was forced to live in Switzerland. “Since the end of the last world war, I have been the object of lies and propaganda by powerful reactionary groups who, by their influence and by the aid of America’s yellow press, have created an unhealthy atmosphere in which liberal-minded individuals can be singled out and persecuted. Under these conditions I find it virtually impossible to continue my motion-picture work, and I have therefore given up my residence in the United States.” Charlie Chaplin Charlie Chaplin later said he was not a Communist but refused to condemn Communists because he disliked the nature of the McCarthy era. “Friends have asked how I came to engender this American antagonism. My prodigious sin was, and still is, being a non-conformist. Although I am not a Communist I refused to fall in line by hating them. Secondly, I was opposed to the Committee on Un-American Activities — a dishonest phrase to begin with, elastic enough to wrap around the throat and strangle the voice of any American citizen whose honest opinion is a minority of one.” – My Autobiography (1964) Chaplin had great comic talent; this was a talent that shone through in his silent films but also in later years. “I remain just one thing, and one thing only — and that is a clown. It places me on a far higher plane than any politician.” Charlie Chaplin, as quoted in The Observer (17 June 1960) Chaplin was put forward for a knighthood in 1956, but, it was blocked by the Conservative cabinet who feared a backlash from the American government. Chaplin was eventually knighted in 1975. He also was awarded an Oscar in 1972 for his music score in the 1952 film Limelight. He was also awarded an honorary award in 1972 for “the incalculable effect he has had in making motion pictures the art form of this century.” He came out of exile to receive the award and the longest standing ovation in the history of the Oscars. Charlie Chaplin had a turbulent personal life. He had 11 children with three different women and had several other girlfriends and marriages. He died in his sleep in Vevey, Switzerland on Christmas Day 1977. [The Empire Trading] You are receiving our newsletter because you opted-in for it on one of our sister websites.
