On a recent trip to Hollywood, doing research for my book, I couldn't help retracing some footsteps of Charlie Chaplin. There is a book called, Silent Traces, which chronicles the thousands of silent movies locations then and now.
 |
| Douglas Fairbanks Sr Crypt where Chaplin gave a eulogy for his best friend who died so young. |
 |
| The side entrance to Chaplin's studio on the corner of Le Brae and De Longpree where he filmed part of the movie, A Day's Pleasure, back in 1919. Standing in the same spot was amazing. |
 |
| The nondescript grave of Chaplin's mother in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery where Rudolf Valentino, Cecil B. DeMille and many other Hollywood notables are burieds. |
 |
| A great view of the Mack Sennent Studio as it looked when Chaplin started in movies exactly 100 years ago. |
 |
| An early camera for the Silent Movies. |
 |
| Movie Poster for City Lights |
