Geraldine Leigh Chaplin (born July 31, 1944) is an English-American actress and the daughter of Charlie Chaplin.
Personal life
Geraldine Chaplin was born in
Santa Monica, California, the fourth child of actor/director
Charlie Chaplin, and the first of eight children with his fourth and last wife,
Oona O'Neill (daughter of
playwright Eugene O'Neill and author
Agnes Boulton). Chaplin was educated at a boarding school in
Switzerland where she became fluent in French and Spanish, the former being standard in any Swiss school and the latter being demonstrated in some of her performances in films by the Spanish director
Carlos Saura, her former partner, with whom she had a twelve-year relationship. She married a long time companion,
Chilean cinematographer
Patricio Castilla, in 2006 and has two children, Shane (b. 1974, by Saura) and
Oona (b. 1986, by Castilla). She is also the half sister of
Sydney Chaplin,
Charles Chaplin, Jr. and Norman Chaplin. She lives much of her time in
Miami, Florida at her home next to the beach.
Career
When Chaplin was eight years old, she appeared uncredited in her father's film
Limelight. When her dream of becoming a ballet dancer ended, she followed her father into the acting profession.
David Lean chose her to play Tonya, the main character's devoted wife in his film
Doctor Zhivago (1965). During the 1970s, she appeared in several of
Robert Altman's films. She also starred in nine movies directed by Carlos Saura, including
Cría cuervos (1976),
Elisa, vida mía (1977), and
Mama Turns a Hundred (1979). She played the role of her grandmother
Hannah Chaplin in the biographical film about her father,
Chaplin.
