Chaplin's breakthrough came in 1914 when he signed with Keystone Studios and began appearing in silent films. He quickly became a sensation and developed his iconic "Tramp" character, a lovable but down-on-his-luck figure with a distinctive walk and mannerisms. Chaplin continued to refine the character in subsequent films, including "The Kid" (1921), "The Gold Rush" (1925), and "City Lights" (1931).
In addition to his acting work, Chaplin was also a prolific writer, director, and composer. He directed many of his own films and composed the music for several of them as well. He was also a co-founder of United Artists, a production company that gave filmmakers greater control over their work.
Chaplin's career spanned several decades, and he continued to work in film until the 1960s. He was awarded numerous honors for his contributions to the film industry, including an Academy Award for his score to the film "Limelight" (1952). He died on December 25, 1977, in Switzerland.
