During this time they went up and went out thousands of other stars, but he continued to remain a favorite of the public. What is the secret of the enduring popularity? The answer to this question is far from unequivocal. Here and great acting skills, and impeccable skills in the ridiculous, and amazing ability to combine comedy with tragic. The main thing that has always ensured its success, it is - a love for the people who studied in the visible embodiment of the image created by Charlie - a small, poor man with a big heart and good, sad eyes.
