I’m undertaking the life of Charlie Chaplin who was, when he was alive and to show how good he is, the most famous funny man in the world. His stuff was so well known everywhere, in South America, in Africa, in China, everywhere, they know Charlie Chaplin.
It’s a great rags to riches story because he grew up in the slums of London, completely impoverished, in a workhouse at age seven. He lived on the streets as a very young child, washing out of the horse troughs. And within 10 years, he’s in Hollywood, the most famous star in Hollywood, living in a mansion, with gold fixtures in the bathrooms.
So it was a great rags to riches story, very dramatic.
