Episode 189 - From stage to silver screen: the life and career of Charlie Chaplin
Podcast: The English Heritage PodcastPublished On: Thu Nov 17 2022
Description: Charlie Chaplin was one of the greatest stars of early cinema, as well as a pioneer behind the camera. But less well known is the story of his impoverished upbringing in London. We’re joined by historian Howard Spencer to discuss his journey from grim workhouses to Hollywood stardom, and the blue plaque that commemorates his time at 15 Glenshaw Mansions in Lambeth, where he lived with his brother Sydney from 1908–10 before departing for America.
