He reviewed his life, opened up his mind, showed all his charm, courage, pursuit and faith, and recorded his poor childhood in South London, his first stage experience, his efforts to strive for shooting autonomy, his lost marriage, and his escape from Hollywood. It is also in this memoir that many details and tracks in the history of film and drama are reproduced. Chaplin was born into an actor family in London. His parents were both famous Comedians in the British circus, but he was forced to leave the stage because of his old age. The two divorced early. The father died of alcoholism at the age of 37.
