Charlie Chaplin’s early life
He was believed to have been born on April 16, 1889 and there is some doubt
whether April 16 is actually his birthday. There is also uncertainty about his
birthplace: London or Fontainebleau, France. There is no doubt, however, as to his
parentage: he was born to Charles Chaplin, Sr. and Hannah Harriette Hill (aka Lily
Harley on stage), both Music Hall entertainers. His parents separated soon after
his birth, leaving him in the care of his increasingly unstable mother
In 1896, Chaplin's mother was unable to find work; Charlie and his older half-
brother Sydney Chaplin had to be left in the workhouse at Lambeth, moving after
several weeks to Hanwell School for Orphans and Destitute Children. His father
died an alcoholic when Charlie was 12, and his mother suffered a mental
breakdown, and was eventually admitted temporarily to the Cane Hill Asylum at
Coulsdon (near Croydon). She died in 1928 in the United States, two years after
coming to live with Chaplin, by then a commercial success.
Charlie first took to the stage when, aged five, he performed in Music Hall in 1894,
standing in for his mother. As a child, he was confined to a bed for weeks due to a
serious illness, and, at night, his mother would sit at the window and act out what
was going on outside. 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. This was followed by
Casey's 'Court Circus' variety show, and, the following year, he became a clown in
Fred Karno's 'Fun Factory' slapstick comedy company.
According to immigration records, he arrived in the United States with the Karno
troupe on October 2, 1912. In the Karno Company was Arthur Stanley Jefferson,
who would later become known as Stan Laurel. Chaplin and Laurel shared a room
in a boarding house. Stan Laurel returned to England but Chaplin remained in the
United States. Chaplin's act was seen by film producer Mack Sennett, who hired
him for his studio, the Keystone Film Company.
