My Autobiography (Chaplin book)

My Autobiography is a book by Charlie Chaplin, first published by Simon & Schuster in 1964. Along with Chaplin: His Life and Art (1985), it provided the source material for the 1992 feature film Chaplin. It provides a revealing look into the life of a 20th-century filmmaker and celebrity. The Chicago Tribune said the book was “The best autobiography ever written by an actor. An astonishing work.”[1] In 2020 The Guardian ranked the book at No. 11 in its list of "The top 25 most compelling Hollywood autobiographies".[2]
