Charlie Chaplin was born in England in 1889, and died in 1977. He was mainly famous as a comic character actor, though he also appeared in such serious classics as Limelight. His mother's descendants were the Romanichal Smiths. He spent as much time as he could in Romani company, and reportedly modeled his "tramp" character on his perceptions of Romani life. His sympathy for the treatment of Romanies in Nazi Germany also led to this playing a Hitler look-alike in The Great Dictator (1940).

Chaplin became one of the most famous actors as well as a notable director and musician in the early to mid Hollywood cinema era. He is considered to be one of the finest mimes and clowns ever caught on film and has greatly influenced performers in this field. He acted in, directed, scripted, produced, and eventually scored his own films. Chaplin was also one of the most creative and influential personalities in the silent film era. His working life in entertainment spanned over 65 years, from the Victorian stage and music hall in the United Kingdom as a child performer, almost until his death at the age of eighty-eight. Chaplin's high-profile public and private life encompassed highs and lows with both adulation and controversy. His principal character was "The Tramp" (known as "Charlot" in France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Romania, Greece and Turkey). "The Tramp" is a vagrant with the refined manners and dignity of a gentleman. The character wears a tight coat, over sized trousers and shoes, a derby, carries a bamboo cane, and has a signature toothbrush mustache.The book has been autographed on the title page by Charlie Chaplin in black.
