Charlie Chaplin
Charles Spencer Chaplin, dit Charlie Chaplin, né le 16 avril 1889 probablement à Londres (Royaume-Uni) et mort le 25 décembre 1977 à Corsier-sur-Vevey (Suisse), est un acteur, réalisateur, scénariste, producteur et compositeur britannique.
Devenu une idole du cinéma muet à partir du milieu des années 1910, et plus particulièrement du burlesque, grâce à son personnage de Charlot (désigné simplement comme « the tramp » — le vagabond — dans les versions originales), il acquiert ensuite une notoriété et une reconnaissance plus large pour ses performances d'acteur comme pour ses réalisations. Durant une carrière longue de 65 ans, il joue dans plus de 80 films.
Il joue au cinéma pour la première fois en 1914 dans le film Pour gagner sa vie et travaille avec les sociétés de production Essanay, Mutual et First National. En 1918, il est l'une des personnalités les plus connues au monde.
En 1919, Chaplin cofonde la société United Artists et obtient ainsi le contrôle total sur ses œuvres. Parmi ses premiers longs-métrages figurent Charlot soldat (1918), Le Kid (1921), L'Opinion publique (1923), La Ruée vers l'or (1925) et Le Cirque (1928). Il refuse de passer au cinéma sonore et continue de produire des films muets dans les années 1930, comme Les Lumières de la ville (1931) et Les Temps modernes (1936). Ses œuvres deviennent ensuite plus politiques, avec notamment Le Dictateur (1940), dans lequel il se moque d'Hitler et de Mussolini. Il abandonne son personnage de Charlot dans ses derniers films, dont Monsieur Verdoux (1947), Les Feux de la rampe (1952), Un roi à New York (1957) et La Comtesse de Hong-Kong (1967).
Chaplin écrit, réalise et produit la plupart de ses films, en plus d'y jouer et d'en composer la musique. En 1972, l'Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences lui a remis un Oscar d'honneur pour sa contribution inestimable à l'industrie cinématographique et plusieurs de ses œuvres sont aujourd'hui considérées comme faisant partie des plus grands films de tous les temps.
