**HOLLYWOOD** – Zoe Saldaña, the only actor to appear in all three of the highest-grossing films of all time, has revealed a surprising cinematic favorite: Charlie Chaplin’s 1921 silent masterpiece, “The Kid.”
Saldaña, known for her roles in blockbusters like “Avatar” and “Avengers,” is arguably one of the most successful actors working today. Her resume boasts collaborations with renowned directors such as James Cameron, Steven Spielberg, and James Gunn, and includes accolades like a BAFTA, Golden Globe and an Oscar.
In a recent interview with Rotten Tomatoes, the “Gamora” star shared her top five films, a list that featured “The Goonies” and “The Terminator” alongside Chaplin’s groundbreaking work.
“It’s a very emotional and melodramatic subject, and only someone like Charlie Chaplin was able to make it whimsical and funny, but also so heartfelt and sincere,” Saldaña gushed about “The Kid.” She attributed Chaplin’s success to his vaudeville background, highlighting his ability to give “it all” because “he came from nothing.”
“The Kid,” Chaplin’s first full-length feature, tells the story of his iconic Tramp character raising an abandoned baby. The film masterfully blends humor and pathos, leaving a lasting impact on audiences.
Saldaña praised the film’s ability to convey powerful emotions without dialogue, cementing its place as a timeless classic and a masterclass in visual storytelling. Her appreciation for Chaplin’s work demonstrates her deep understanding of film history and her discerning eye for cinematic excellence.
