Mock interview



Kari Herren
Block 1

Charlie Chaplin


Kari: Hello. Thank you for coming out here on this glorious evening to do an interview with us.

Charlie: It is my pleasure.

Kari: To begin, what is your favorite quote that you find yourself saying all the time?

Charlie: I think that would have to be, “A man is what a woman makes him and a woman makes herself.”

Kari: Haha, that is true. What do you believe to be you favorite movie and why?

Charlie: That would have to be The Kid. Because I had a great time with Jackie Coogan and that film was also inspired be a tragedy in my life.

Kari: May I ask what that tragedy was?

Charlie: Yes you may. It was when I was with Mildred Harris, she gave birth to a malformed boy and he died three days later.

Kari: I’m sorry to hear that. What was the worst part of your childhood?

Charlie: I remember it very clearly. The day I had to put my mother into an “institute”. She yelled at me, “Don’t let them take me away from you!” I remember that day as if it happened only yesterday.

Kari: How did the making and producing of the films effect you?

Charlie: Well, most days I am working all night and I get caught up into it. I have to get it done.

Kari: You’re very determined. Okay, you were in theatre. How did you get started in the business?

Charlie: Mother usually brought me to the theatre at night in preference to leaving me alone in rented rooms.

Kari: Was that often of her to take you along?

Charlie: Yes. I loved going to the theatre with her as often as I could.

Kari: How much money did you make in a year?

Charlie: By 1916, just two years after appearing in my first motion picture, I had become the most famous entertainer in the world. Buoyed by my enormously successful comedies for Keystone and Essanay, I was offered the largest salary ever extended to a motion picture star—$670,000 for a single year’s work.

Kari: That is a lot of money! Well, thank you for the interview Charlie. Hope to talk to you soon.

Charlie: You’re very welcome. Good bye.
