From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Geraldine Chaplin (born July 31, 1944 in Santa Monica, California) is an American actress.
She was born the first child of Charlie Chaplin and his last wife Oona O'Neill (daughter of playwright Eugene O'Neill and Agnes Boulton). When Chaplin was eight years old she appeared uncredited in her famous father's Limelight. Geraldine was educated in a boarding school in Switzerland. When her dream of becoming a ballet dancer ended, she followed in her father's footsteps and became an actress. Director David Lean chose her to play Tonya, the main character's devoted wife in Doctor Zhivago (1965).
Chaplin had a long relationship with Spanish director Carlos Saura, and she has starred in nine of his movies, including Cria Cuervos (1976), Elisa, Vida Mia (1977), and Mama Turns a Hundred (1979). She also appeared in several of Robert Altman's films during the 1970s.
She has two children, Shane and Oona; She married a long time companion, Chilean movie operator Patricio Castilla in 2006.
She has appeared in numerous films throughout her long career. She played the role of her own paternal grandmother Hannah Chaplin in the biographical film on her father Chaplin.
