One of the most influential auteurs in film history, Charlie Chaplin remains to this day the most well-known figure from cinema’s silent era. Throughout most of his career, Chaplin played The Tramp, one of the most iconic characters of twentieth-century cinema. An actor, writer, director, producer, editor, and composer, Chaplin created an instantly recognizable aesthetic that combined world-class slapstick comedy with pathos related to poverty, industrialization, and war.Chaplin’s film career began during the early days of Hollywood in 1914 and lasted through the sound era until his final directorial effort in 1967. Six of Chaplin’s films, Kid Auto Races at Venice, The Immigrant, The Gold Rush, City Lights, Modern Times, and The Great Dictator reside in the National Film Registry. Many of Chaplin’s best works rank among cinema’s most treasured films.Upon its release, A Woman of Paris was a box office flop. Audiences rejected a Chaplin film that did not feature comedy and that did not star Chaplin himself. Purviance’s career never took off and she essentially retired from Hollywood by 1927. However, Chaplin always kept Purviance on his payroll, and later in life, she made cameo appearances in Monsieur Verdoux and Limelight.
