Why Charlie Chaplin was one of them however there were many such as Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd, Lon Chaney, Laurel and Hardy, and Greta Garbo

A lot of people don't understand them and those who do i give major props too.

There are MANY famous silent film stars.

you have Sir Charles Chaplin( Charlie Chaplin, Not Charley Chapman)

Charlie stars in silent films such A Dog's Life, Modern Times( i find that to be very funny),

The kid, the circus, the great dictator and MANY more.

Then there is Laurel and Hardy Very funny men.

Harold Lloyd, Buster Keaton, Dorothy Gish, Lillian Gish, Edna Purviance, Mildred Davis,

Olive Thomas, Lila Lee, Greta Garbo, Gloria Swanson, Jean Harlow, Louise Brooks, Billie Dove, Tom Mix, Roscoe Arbuckle, Clara Bow, Buck Jones , and waaaaaay more.

There is also, among others, Gloria Swanson, Norma Talmadge, Buster Keaton, Gilbert Roland, Norma Shearer (who continued on as a major sound film star), Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, Rudolph Valentino, Fatty Arbuckle (involved in a huge scandal that scuttled his career), to name just a few. Gloria Swanson probably had the greatest, if only brief, reprisal of her career with 1950's "Sunset Boulevard" directed by Billy Wilder. Check it out - it's about a deluded, faded, aging silent film star and she is excellent.
