Chaplin: His Life and Art is a 1985 book (revised second edition 2001) by film critic David Robinson which examines the life and works of Sir Charlie Chaplin. Along with Chaplin's 1964 book My Autobiography, it was used as source material for the 1992 film Chaplin. The idea for the book originated with Chaplin's long-time collaborator and producer Jerome Epstein.[1]
