He’s full of (you guessed it)__it! Charlie Chaplin did not get a government grant to do the ‘Potato Dance’. Hey Robert, I’ve got news for you: It’s Not Your money! The Kennedy Center is a bully pulpit for those who hate the Judeo-Christian world view. It is subsidized so rich folks can dress up in Tuxedos and gowns and look in the mirror.
He can only play angry mafia chatacters...even when he does comedy! Another over rated big mouth
What’s more, Robert De Niro is REALLY full of Bullstalin.
Charlie Chaplin and other successful stars and starlets bucked the studio system and founded United Artists with their own wealth.

United Artists (UA) is an American film and television entertainment studio. The studio was founded in 1919 by D. W. Griffith, Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, and Douglas Fairbanks with the intention of controlling their own interests rather than depending upon commercial studios.[1] The studio was repeatedly bought, sold and restructured over the ensuing century. The current United Artists is an in-name-only successor to the original company, which was acquired by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1981.[2]
