What was the profession of Charlie's parents?

Both of Charlie Chaplin's parents were professional music hall entertainers. His father, Charles Chaplin Sr., was a vocalist and comedian, while his mother, Hannah Chaplin (stage name Lily Harley), was a singer and actress. This background in British music hall performance deeply influenced Chaplin's physical comedy style and timing. However, his parents' later struggles with mental health and poverty profoundly shaped his childhood.
