| Summary: | "This biography covers Charlot's life and career from his youth in Paris to his time in Edwardian and interwar London, concluding with his final years in Hollywood playing all-purpose Europeans in B-movies and his death in 1956. The work is illustrated with family photographs, drawings, cartoons, and production stills of Charlot as an actor from American films"--Provided by publisher "Theatrical producer Andre Charlot brought Parisian revue to Great Britain in 1912 and dominated his field for 25 years. He created the kind of intimate revue the world came to identify as British, and was known for discovering great theater personalities, including Beatrice Lillie, Gertrude Lawrence, Jack Buchanan, and Noel Coward." "This biography, researched from sources including his personal memoirs, covers Charlot's life and career from his youth in Paris, to his time in Edwardian and interwar London, to his final years in Hollywood. Two unpublished essays by Andre Charlot as appendices and photographs from all periods of Charlot's life are included."--BOOK JACKET |
