On April 16, 1889 the world received one of the most important individuals of the silent screen era, not to mention a doggone funny guy. Charles Chaplin was by all accounts a genius of multiple talents (acting, writing, directing, scoring, producing), and certainly cinema is the richer for his being among us.
TCM is running a block of his films today, so don't miss them if you've not seen them!
I think I'll even change my avatar for the day in his honor...and post one of my Chaplin wallpapers over in Classic Film Art for others to enjoy!
