Noor Mohammed Charlie (Urdu: نور محمد چارلی，1 July 1911 – 30 June 1983), popularly known as Charlie, was an Indian/ Pakistani actor born in 1911 in Ranavav village, Porbandar, Saurashtra, India.[1][2] Best known for his comedy roles, he was the first 'star' comedian and has been referred to as India's first comedy king.[3] He acted with several top actresses of those days as a comic hero. Being a great fan of Charlie Chaplin, he took the name "Charlie" as his screen name following the release of his popular film The Indian Charlie (1933).[4] He had a successful career in pre-partition India from 1925–1946. His shift to Pakistan following partition saw his career going down with less than 12 films.[3] He shifted to the US to live with his son and returned later to Pakistan where he died in 1983.[1]
