Charlie Chaplin

#Icons: Ive seen a few Charlie Chaplin films and I really like them. Im glad they played the speech from The Great Dictator as its one of cinemas best moments full stop. A comedy actor who was so in touch with social issues.

Apart from Chaplin who pioneered Hollywood from nothing My Entertainers #Icons MAE WEST: Smashed partriarchy, sexism & helped & PoC #HedyLamarr: Screen Icon & inventor (Wi-Fi, GPS & Bluetooth) Hattie McDaniel: 1st Poc Oscar winner Berry Gordy: Motown

If Charlie Chaplin doesn't win the #icons entertainer poll tonight I will finally give up on the British public

Charlie Chaplin gets my vote for #icons on @BBCTwo now. Look at him in The Great Dictator in 1938 - what foresight. His own film written and directed by himself - way ahead of everyone.

"A day without laughter is a day wasted." Was Charlie Chaplin the most significant entertainer of the last century? #Icons

Charlie Chaplins speech in The Great Dictator gives me shivers every single time I hear it #Icons

#CharlieChaplin is giving me chills - Ive never heard that speech. Ive never seen that before! #icons

Is it Chaplin's character, 'the little tramp' or Chaplin himself who is the icon? #Icons
