Geraldine Chaplin (b. 1944) has always been a spectacular actress. Of course, when hearing or reading about Chaplin, the first thing that comes to mind is British-born screen legend Charlie Chaplin (1889-1977) and the immortal character of The Tramp, first introduced on February 7, 1914, when the Keystone comedy short “Kid Auto Races at Venice” was released. And the rest, as we all know, is history. The film pioneer became a universal icon, a trendsetter, and the greatest comic genius the world has ever known. In terms of filmmaking, from acting, directing, producing, writing, and composing, to running his own Hollywood studio, located on La Brea Avenue—he did everything—he is considered the single most important artist and an unprecedented key figure in the history of filmmaking.
Charlie Chaplin’s first appearance as The Tramp in his second short, “Kid Auto Races at Venice” in February, 1914, written and directed by Henry Lehrman. Two months later, at the early age of twenty-five, Mr. Chaplin began to write and direct his own work.

Live Read
Live Read is a monthly live staged reading of a film script and a part of the Film Independent at LACMA film series at the Bing Theater directed by Jason Reitman and hosted by Elvis Mitchell from 2011 to 2016. In 2019, Film Independent brought the series back as part of Film Independent Presents... at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, produced by director of programming and events, Rachel Bleemer. A guest director reads the stage directions in the scripts while images from the film would be projected behind the cast. The script is typically announced days before the event and while some actors were announced beforehand, full cast lists and the role each actor would play were kept secret until the event itself. The actors do not rehearse ahead of time.
The readings are one-night-only and are not recorded due to rights issues. Because of this, tickets for the 500 seats, go on pre-sale to members of Film Independent one week ahead of the general public, and sell out almost immediately.
The series is to show audiences how actors create characters.[1][2]
