Adolf Hitler was a great admirer of Charles Chaplin. Because of this fascination he let grow his moustache like Chaplin. (allegedly)

Here's a picture of Amy
outside on the starry patio of
the historic El Cid nightclub
in Silverlake, a stone's throw from
downtown Hollywood, on Sunset Boulevard.
This is my second photo of Amy unmasked
as it were,
as I have posted many photos of Amy,
as many know,
in her mime makeup,
as she performs frequently as a mime on
the stages of Hollywood. In this
one she is even further unmasked
than in my original unmasked
photo of her, in which she
wore her strawberry-blonde wig.
She is a woman
of many talents, and many mysteries,
and on this night, as the second act in the
tremendously entertaining and dimensional
Lolita LeVay Cabaret and Sideshow Extravaganza
(which also featured several very sexy
burlesque dancers, who did enticing strip-tease
routines, but not vulgar ones where they get naked
and parade around, but old-fashioned ones,
in the great tradition of genuine burlesque, in which
they dance sensuously
to great music, slowly removing a costume
till they are mostly naked, though not entirely,
for seconds before taking flight), as well as
an escape artist, a guy who did a bullwhip routine
with a very beautiful woman (photos to come),
a fire-eater, and much more, Amy appeared onstage
and sang beautifully - quite like Annie Hall in
the movie of the same name (who sang one of
my favorite songs, "Seems Like Old Times," which
I am going to suggest that Amy learn) - and
rapped in funny Italian, and juggled flawlessly
as if it's the easiest thing in the world to do,
both bowling pins, and a ball on an umbrella.
After the show I came out on the moon-dappled
patio, and Amy called out, in an Italian accent,
"Zol-lo," as it is an Italian name, after all,
though we were originally Zlotnick on Ellis Island
in the first years of the 20th century,
and I sat down with her and a wonderful friend,
and we toasted our good fortune
to be alive at this particular juncture of
history, and to reflect on the fabled past of
Hollywood, the Hollywood of Chaplin and
Keaton and Valentino (the latter of which is
buried in a crypt just a few blocks from the club),
and also on the future of Hollywood, a future
that will certainly embrace and celebrate
Amy
as I can think of few better movies
than one starring Amy about
a beautiful young woman
who is often a silent mime
but when you finally see her without her mask
you find out she sings like an angel
with elegance and grace,
and is even more lovely without her
mask as she is
with it.

"we think too much and feel too little. more than machinery, we need humanity; more than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.”

Sir Charles Spencer Chaplin, (16 April 1889 – 25 December 1977) was an English comic actor, filmmaker, and composer who rose to fame in the era of silent film. Chaplin became a worldwide icon through his screen persona "the Tramp" and is considered one of the most important figures in the history of the film industry. His career spanned more than 75 years, from childhood in the Victorian era until a year before his death in 1977, and encompassed both adulation and controversy.
Chaplin's childhood in London was one of poverty and hardship. As his father was absent and his mother struggled financially, he was sent to a workhouse twice before the age of nine. When he was 14, his mother was committed to a mental asylum. Chaplin began performing at an early age, touring music halls and later working as a stage actor and comedian. At 19, he was signed to the prestigious Fred Karno company, which took him to America. Chaplin was scouted for the film industry and began appearing in 1914 for Keystone Studios. He soon developed the Tramp persona and formed a large fan base. Chaplin directed his own films from an early stage and continued to hone his craft as he moved to the Essanay, Mutual, and First National corporations. By 1918, he was one of the best-known figures in the world.
In 1919, Chaplin co-founded the distribution company United Artists, which gave him complete control over his films. His first feature-length was The Kid (1921), followed by A Woman of Paris (1923), The Gold Rush (1925), and The Circus (1928). He refused to move to sound films in the 1930s, instead producing City Lights (1931) and Modern Times (1936) without dialogue. Chaplin became increasingly political, and his next film, The Great Dictator (1940), satirised Adolf Hitler. The 1940s were a decade marked with controversy for Chaplin, and his popularity declined rapidly. He was accused of communist sympathies, while his involvement in a paternity suit and marriages to much younger women caused scandal. An FBI investigation was opened, and Chaplin was forced to leave the United States and settle in Switzerland. He abandoned the Tramp in his later films, which include Monsieur Verdoux (1947), Limelight (1952), A King in New York (1957), and A Countess from Hong Kong (1967).
Chaplin wrote, directed, produced, edited, starred in, and composed the music for most of his films. He was a perfectionist, and his financial independence enabled him to spend years on the development and production of a picture. His films are characterised by slapstick combined with pathos, typified in the Tramp's struggles against adversity. Many contain social and political themes, as well as autobiographical elements. In 1972, as part of a renewed appreciation for his work, Chaplin received an Honorary Academy Award for "the incalculable effect he has had in making motion pictures the art form of this century". He continues to be held in high regard, with The Gold Rush, City Lights, Modern Times, and The Great Dictator often ranked on industry lists of the greatest films of all time.

Sir Charles Spencer "Charlie" Chaplin, KBE (16 April 1889 – 25 December 1977) was an English comic actor, film director and composer best known for his work during the silent film era. He became the most famous film star in the world before the end of World War I.
It's a fact. He was the world's most famous and beloved comic star and whether you agree or not, he remains in death the greatest comic star in the history of Hollywood. Chaplin's friendly rivalry with fellow legendary silent screen comics Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd is cemented in Tinseltown folklore. All three brilliant physical performers especially in those early years of real death defying stunt work made famous by Keaton and Lloyd. Chaplin on the other hand showcased formidable talent behind the camera lens becoming a director that complemented his deft hand of acting maniacal on one scene then displaying tender moments of innocence and romance the next. No better example than his creation of the Little Tramp in many of his vintage classic films with shabby two piece suit, bowler hat, twirling walking cane and the classic Chaplin walk with both feet pointed outwards heading onto a new adventure. In these pre-code era of Hollywood filmmaking, Chaplin was not far from controversy in how he lived his life and conducted himself. A roving womaniser at the height of his powers in the 20s and 30s, it's reported that Chaplin slept with over 2000 women in his lifetime, and a fair few of them being nothing more than late teenagers or in their 20s when he was decades older. Basically Charlie liked them young. Would have tons of paperwork filed against him on paternity suits when he denied the pregnant woman's child was his. This type of news would erode his once cast iron popularity in public and the backlash would take it's toll on his once shining career. Facing jail time on a smear campaign against him for human trafficking amongst other things, he's only choice after being acquitted was to choose exiling himself from America for the rest of his life moving to Switzerland with teen wife Oona who was 36 years younger than him. Chaplin last great American film is one of his most iconic films where he played a "Adolf Hitler" type leader and openly mocked the real life figure in the film's portrayal with raving ramblings and wild exaggerated mannerisms that Hitler became notorious for as his army matched across Western Europe in the same year of 1940 when this masterpiece film "The Great Dictator" (!940) was released. Time is a great healer as it's said and decades later and attitudes of later generations more softer than the witch-hunt attitudes of the 1940s, the Academy of Motion Pictures wanted the honour the little genius at the 1972 Oscars ceremony with a Lifetime Achievement Oscar. He accepted the invite and flew back to the US for the first time in 20 years after being barred back into the US while abroad in 1952. The scenes of Chaplin on stage accepting the Oscar with tears in his eyes as this age New America wanted to make amends for really what was an unjust crime against cinema by robbing the world of his immense talents during the decades that mattered. His career is already magnificent, imagine how much better it could've been in the 1950s and 1960s. There was still films he made during his exile, the masterpiece "Limelight" (1952), "A King in New York" (1957), and his last ever film "A Countess from Hong Kong" in 1967 are a nice mix of gems and hidden delights. Chaplin and Oona would have 8 children before ill health with a series of mini strokes set in during the late 1960s. On Christmas Day morning in 1977, Chaplin died in his sleep having another stroke. He was 88 years old. *Above photo of the Little Tramp" in 1918.
Cincinnati Comic Expo held at the Duke Energy Convention Center in Cincinnati, Ohio. This guy stayed in character as if he was in a silent movie while I asked if I could take his picture. He played the part well and looks a lot like Charlie did.

English comedian Charles ‘Charlie’ Chaplin (1889 - 1977) was one of the most creative and influential personalities of the silent-film era. His most famous role was that of The Tramp with his toothbrush mustache, undersized bowler hat and bamboo cane who struggled to survive while keeping his dignity in a world with great social injustice. Chaplin used mime, slapstick and other visual comedy routines, and he not only starred in his films, but also directed, wrote and produced them, and composed the music as well. His working life in entertainment spanned over 75 years, from the Victorian stage and the Music Hall in the United Kingdom as a child performer, until close to his death at the age of 88. Author George Bernard Shaw called Chaplin "the only genius to come out of the movie industry".
