Charlie Chaplin once entered a Charlie Chaplin Look-Alike Contest in Monte Carlo, Monaco. He placed third.

[While visiting his native London, Chaplin, then the most famous man in the world, received 73,000 letters in two days.]

[Chaplin's trademark Tramp costume was inspired by the poverty of his early years. When his English mother first saw him wearing it, she cried, "Charlie, I have to get you a new suit!"]
