And now, the last one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been a fan for about 30 years now, and while I have not constantly been buying things, I have gathered a nice assortment, and stories to go with them. Below are not all the things I have, but the ones that mean the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Chaplin: His Life and Art” by David Robinson<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first thing, and still one of my top things, is a hardback copy of David Robinson’s “Chaplin, His Life and Art”. It’s sitting just a couple feet from where I’m writing now. And it was the first Chaplin item I bought. I wrote more about how I got it on Day 16<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Charlie Chaplin: King of Comedy<\/strong>“ by Gerith Von Ulm<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This book’s biggest distinction in my collection is it being the oldest of all my Chaplin books. Published in 1940, it’s a biography with Chaplin’s longtime Japanese valet and secretary, Toraichi Kono<\/a>, as it’s main source I found it in a tiny bookstore. Well it was more like a stall. Part of a flea market that was inside an air-conditioned building. It was so tiny that only two or three people could fit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photographs from the set of Limelight<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Back in 1995 I bought two photographs from a photographer who was on the set of Limelight. Bernie Schoenfield was a professional photographer who was hired by a magazine to shoot pictures during the making of the film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have not seen these photographs anywhere else since, not even on the internet, so they are very special to me \ud83e\udd70<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had started to write more about meeting him for this post, but it was too long, and deserves it’s own post anyway. So that will be for later!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Movie Posters<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I have a big poster for The Kid that I bought from a street vendor in Paris, France, many years ago. We were walking along a street, saw a vendor selling various books and some posters. While I was looking at The Kid poster, a young girl (10-12) and her mom were walking past and the girl said excitedly “Oh, Charlie Chaplin!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is my Instagram post of two other posters. I had both of these up last year. Then a month or so later, The Adventurer fell down. But, as I said in my IG post, I love these so much!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
