The infamous Western outlaw known as “Billy the Kid†is mostly likely born in a poor Irish neighborhood on New York City's East Side on November 23, 1859. (Much about his early life is unknown or unverified.) Before he was shot dead at age 21, Billy reputedly killed at least nine people in the American West.
Billy the Kid (born Henry McCarty; September 17 or November 23, 1859 – July 14, 1881), also known by the pseudonym William H. Bonney, was an outlaw and gunfighter of the American Old West, who killed eight men before he was shot and killed at the age of 21.
The Kid, American silent film comedy-drama, released in 1921, that starred Charlie Chaplin in the first feature film with his popular “Little Tramp†character.
The dependably wooden Spangler Arlington Brugh (a wise name change to Robert Taylor, I think) takes over as Billy the Hero in this version of the famous legend, with landscapes filmed in Monument Valley, on the Arizona-Utah border north of Kayenta, and at Sedona, Arizona.
The Kid wins, drawing the ire of the other boy's older brother, who attacks the Tramp as a result. The Mother breaks up the fight, but it starts again after she leaves and the Tramp keeps beating the "Big Brother" over the head with a brick between swings until he totters away.
While much of The Kid is true to history, the core plot following a young boy named Rio Cutler and his older sister Sara is fictional. They're escaping from their uncle and happen to cross paths with Billy the Kid as he's on the run from Pat Garrett.
How did Chaplin hope to benefit from it? Ans: Jackie could apply emotion to the action and action to the emotion and could repeat it time and time again without losing the effect of spontaneity. Chaplin hoped to get his best performance by reciting him the incidents and the boy performed brilliantly.
It was dur- ing this period that Chaplin encountered a four-year- old child performer named Jackie Coogan at Orphe- um Theater in Los Angeles, where his father had just performed an eccentric dance act. Later, he discovered that Arbuckle had signed Jack Coogan—the boy's father.
harlie Chaplin, the poignant little tramp with the cane and comic walk who almost single-handedly elevated the novelty entertainment medium of motion pictures into art, died peacefully yesterday at his home in Switzerland. He was 88 years old.
Viewers will see intense violence against women, as well as lots of guns and shooting (including by the teen boy), blood spurts, dead bodies, and gore.

Yet in 1921, an adult performer, Charlie Chaplin (1889–1977), introduced the first actor to become famous in films as a child—Jackie Coogan (1914–1984).
In the early 1940s, as war raged abroad, the inquest unfolded in a packed Los Angeles courtroom. This was not just any paternity suit. The mother was Joan Berry, a 23-year-old aspiring actress; the baby, her daughter Carol Ann; and the accused father Charlie Chaplin, Hollywood celebrity.
Jackie Coogan's father Jack Coogan, Sr. played three different small uncredited roles in the film - as a pickpocket, a guest, and as the 'Devil' in the dream sequence.
