English comic actor, filmmaker, and composer Sir Charles Spencer Chaplin became a worldwide icon in the era of silent film and is generally considered one of the most important figures in the history of the film industry. Chaplin's career spanned more than 75 years, from childhood in the Victorian era until a year before his death in 1977. His films are characterized by slapstick combined with pathos, typified in his screen persona "the Tramp's" struggles against adversity.
