Charlie Chaplin’s Early Life

He was believed to have been born on April 16, 1889. There is some doubt whether April 16 is
actually his birthday, and it is possible he was not born in 1889. There is also uncertainty about his
birthplace: London or Fontainebleau, France. He was born in a family which both his parents worked in art
field. 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.
Charlie was thrown on his own resources before he reached the age of ten as the early death of his
father and the subsequent illness of his mother made it necessary for Charlie and his brother, Sydney, to
fend for themselves.
Charlie first took to the stage when, aged five, he performed in Music Hall in 1894, standing in for his
mother. In 1900, aged 11, his brother helped get him the role of a comic cat in the pantomime Cinderella at
the London Hippodrome. In 1903, he appeared in “Jim, A Romance of Cockayne”, followed by his first
regular job, as the newspaper boy Billy in Sherlock Holmes, a part he played into 1906.
Having inherited natural talents from their parents, the youngsters took to the stage as the best
opportunity for a career. Charlie made his professional debut as a member of a juvenile group called “The
Eight Lancashire Lads” and rapidly won popular favour as an outstanding tap dancer.
