Page "Charlie Chaplin" Paragraph 101

Chaplin also received several special film awards.

He was given a special Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival in 1972.

When he briefly returned to the United States in 1972, the Lincoln Center Film Society honoured him with a gala and awarded him a lifetime achievement award, which has since been awarded annually to filmmakers as The Chaplin Award.

Chaplin was also given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1970, after having been excluded due to his political beliefs when the project was initially started in 1958.
