ChildhoodCharles Spencer Chaplin was born in London, England, on April 16th, 1889. His father was a versatile vocalist and actor; and his mother, known under the stage name of Lily Harley, was an attractive actress and singer, who gained a reputation for her work in the light opera field.

Saintsbury and then William Gillette in different productions of “Sherlock Holmes”. At the close of this engagem Copyright ©armywing.pages.dev 2025 |
