Born in East Street, Walworth, London on 16 April, 1889, Charles Spencer Chaplin was the son of a music hall singer and his wife. Charlie Cha… Continue

I totally agree RiSi. I'm not sure what they want to test in these surveys. I'm sure the people who are voting for Chelsea Handler have never even heard of most of the other people on the list. It's sort of like having a survey for the greatest sing…

@rebecca: i honestly had no idea who richard pryor was/is. i wasn't attempting at knocking him down. but that is always the weakness i find with such surveys: what do they want to test actually? popularity? impact? being world famous -- even outside…

Chelsea Handler is funny, but I wouldn't consider her the "best comedian ever." I don't think we can ignore Richard Pryor's legacy as a great comedian, especially his influence on black comedians. He opened the door for a lot of black stand-up comic…

Chelsea Handler has some kind of nighttime show, I think on cable. Voted for CC earlier. Speaking of Dick van Dyke (who I was my favorte actor when I was 7!), his character would trip over an ottoman during the opening of his TV show in the '60's. A…

I voted for Charlie, but I saw some glaring omission...namely where are Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd? As mentioned before, where are Laurel and Hardy? Where is Harpo Marx? Where is Lucille Ball? What about Dick van Dyke? How about Eddie Cantor? An…

The voting can be done multiple times. I voted for Charlie, and HAD to do the same for Groucho and Jerry Lewis too.... I'm surprised that they do not have Laurel and Hardy up there.

WHAT you don't know Richard Prior????? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bW6llgMkwpA he rocked big time :D

just *who* is richard pryor? he can hardly be called the best if he's unknown outside wherever it is that he's known at all.

STrench added a discussion to the group Charlie Chaplin Fans

Okay...maybe I'm dense or something, but I just don't "get" this picture. It's from ebay and it's called "Black Americana Whiskey Bar Charlie Chaplin Comic Photo". Okay there is an African American there. There are also liquor bottles, presumably wh…

You are right, it is not there anymore. After all this time. I think the world may stop spinning!!!

Pretty sure these are calf garters. Can't think of another place where he's wearing them...

Yes, I am starting to feel the same way, Jessica! And Dominique, thanks for sharing your very nice collection! Perhaps more countries, including France, will come out with Chaplin stamps in the next few years, to commemorate the hundreth anniversar…

the droopy socks are just a period thing. men wore "calf-garters" before socks came with elastic bands.
on Saturday
well, i simply guess he went trough one of his many "hippie-phases" during the lone star films. that's probably just it. didn't a lot of his co-stars complain about his general scruffiness until adolphe menjou chased it out of him?
