Product Description
This is the authorized, definitive biography of the man who has often been called the greatest comic genius the world has ever been. Chaplin's widow, Lady Oona, granted the author unprecedented access to Chaplin's closely guarded archive of private papers, records, letters, and photographs.
Chaplin was a man plagued by loneliness and driven by the search for artistic perfection. His life was an extraordinarily dramatic one, and David Robinson explores the often tragic story of Chaplin's alcoholic father; his mentally disturbed mother; his marriages to very young women, including the legendary film star Paulette Goddard; the 'white slavery' case against him; and his persecution by anti-Communist forces during the McCarthy era, including the FBI, which ultimately forced Chaplin to leave America.
Illustrated with 80 pages of rare photos from Chaplin's family albums, 'Chaplin' contains a detailed chronology, filmography, list of theatre tours, and a list of important people in Chaplin's life.
