My Autobiography
My Autobiography | Charles Chaplin
10 posts | 10 read | 13 to read
Born into a theatrical family, Chaplin's father died of drink while his mother, unable to bear the poverty, suffered from bouts of insanity, Chaplin embarked on a film-making career which won him immeasurable success, as well as intense controversy. His extraordinary autobiography was first published in 1964 and was written almost entirely without reference to documentation - simply as an astonishing feat of memory by a 75 year old man. It is an incomparably vivid reconstruction of a poor London childhood, the music hall and then his prodigious life in the movies.

First #autobiography I ever read (that wasn't from the J section of the library) - and apparently the only one I own. #readjanuary

v_cuev I loved that book. Such an interesting life 8y
Laura317 Ok I have to ask - what's in the "J" section that you've read extensively? @Eyelit (edited) 8y
TheLondonBookworm Didn't know this existed-stacked!!! 8y
Eyelit @Laura317 I just meant that this was the first autobiography book from the adult section of the library way back when 😄 8y

My #reallifeperson is Charlie Chaplin. His autobiography was ridiculously interesting. He acted, directed, produced and composed the music for almost all of his movies. Amazing talent. #octphotochallenge

If you've never seen his film, Modern Times, I can't recommend it highly enough...

Seshat Wow. He was gorgeous. 8y
v_cuev @Seshat definitely not hurting my eyes :) 8y
