His mother and father were also artists, but they were hampered by problems and troubles in their lives. From that point on, Charlie's acting career was getting closer and closer, but his parents were getting worse. At the time, he left London for America to act with his half-brother, and Charlie was picked up by a studio. His career skyrocketed to success; make many films, win many awards, enjoy live performances. It became one of the highest-paid weeklies for an actor at the time. As he became an actor, people, especially girls, were attracted to him, which led Charlie to pursue relationships with many other girls. He achieved everything he could have dreamed of: fame, fortune, and the ability to do whatever he wanted with his life. He even started his own studio and produced his own films to get whatever profit he could, but this got him in trouble and caused him to flee the country due to accusations of aiding communism. He left the country to save not only his life, but also that of his wife. He lived the rest of his life; travel, enjoy his life with his faithful wife; and wrote books until his death in 1977 (88 years old).
