charlie chaplin 1889-1977




this british born genius brought laughter to a world in troubled times. aside from his brilliance as a comedian in silents and talkies, he wrote, directed and scored. like kurt cobain, chaplin knew a thing or two about how to pull off the impoverished look despite one's means.
