My autobiography /

Chaplin, Charlie, 1889-1977.

My autobiography / Charles Chaplin. - New York : Simon and Schuster, 1964 - [1]-512 p. : ill. 24 cm.

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."www.shelfari.com".
