Charlie Chaplin, 1918
Charlie Chaplin was one of the greatest actors of the 1920s and he helped transform motion pictures into the art form they are known as today. Not only was Chaplin a skilled comedian in front of the camera, but he also helped score his own films on the violin during post-production. This photo was taken during the filming of the 1918 film “A Dog’s Life” and the doggy star in the shot was named Mut, although in the film he plays a dog named Scraps. The picture was only 33 minutes long and it also features an appearance from Chaplin’s brother Sydney.
