My Hollywood Icon and respect is Charlie Chaplin.
He was a successful comedy actor but had long tough life against the authority for the sake of people and justice.
I had a gig making the documentary of charlie chaplin's 120's birth and i did the role of charlie chaplin's secretary " TORAICHI KONO".
I didnt know there was such a man, esp Japanese man working behind the success of hollywood golden time.
Toraichi had worked with Chaplin for 18 years during the hightlighted Charlie chaplin's career.
In fact, the famous charlie chaplin's trade mark " walking stick" was brought from japan, yes made in japan!!
Toraichi was the most trusted guy in charlie's career but it ended because of charlie chaplin's second Wife ... she was so distruscted by the charlie's special attachment to KONO.
sadly Kono returned to japan after working with chaplin 18 years.
Kono never returned to holywood even chaplin's many offers and visits to japan and just to see KONO....
Charlie's broken heart was one of the biggest tragedy and also the comedy.
I want to share this story for the name of most contributed asian in hollywood in the history of silver screen.
