Charlie Chaplin - Comedian or Weapon? And why He was Hitler’s Enemy.

Video Description

Remember the bright little boy in Chaplin’s touching film The Kid? Well, that was Jackie Coogan — a child star who earned up to $4 million (roughly $91 million today). But by the age of 21, he discovered that most of it had been spent by his mother and stepfather. In 1938, he sued and received only $126,000. This landmark case led to the passage of the California Child Actors Act in 1939, protecting young performers’ earnings for generations to come. 00:00 The Great Chaplin 01:23 Born into a changing world -The late Victorian era - Belle Époque 01:51 Who were his Parents/brothers 02:26 Chaplin made his stage debute as a tot 03:04 Mother committed to psychiatric hospital 03:40 Making a living 03:55 First love - Florence Henrietta - " Hetty" Kelly 04:12 Karnos London Comedians 04:22 Searching for his character 04:32 Touring America 04:57 Mack Seen father of American Comedy 05:08 Keystone stars : Mary Pickford, Mae West, Mabel Normand 05:22 The signed Contract with Keystone 05:29 1914 - First screen acting debut 05:40 " Caught in the Rain " 06:51 Early films: dissatisfaction 07:11 His time with Essanay Studios 07:46 Mutual Film Corporation - 1916 08:00 Highest paid Actor 08:16 United Artists Corporation studio was founded 08:40 Charlie Chaplin founded his own corporation 08:40 " The Kid" 08:55 His leading lady: Edna Purviance 09:10 Chaplin’s marriage to Harris 09:24 A tribute to his mother Hannah Chaplin 09:57 Lillita Louise MacMurray ( Lita Grey) - second wife 11:09 First sons Charlie and Earl 11:57 Most expensive divorce at that time 12:18 Look-alike contest 12:37 First time talking Tramp 13:02 The Goddard chapter - third wife 13:13 The Great Dictator movie 1940 13:38 Hitler choosing war 14:12 Erich Maria Remarque 14:22 Oona O'Neill - last love - fourth wife 15:22 Lita Grey lawsuit 16:08 Chaplin Blood Test 16:36 1952: Chaplin denied entry to America 17:04 Return to the USA ....after twenty years 17:12 Oscar recognition 17: 23 Vevey Switzerland sanctuary : final years 18:20 Chaplin’s eight children with Oona 18:40 Collaborating with Hollywood icons : Sophia Loren and Marlon Brando 19:28 1977: Chaplin’s death 19:56 Grace and Dignity 20:00 Chaplin’s iconic words : watch his last monologue Thank you for watching!
