Geraldine Chaplin

Geraldine Leigh Chaplin is an English and American actress and screenwriter, daughter of the famous Charlie Chaplin. Multiple Golden Globe nominee, best known for her roles in British, Spanish and French cinema.

Geraldine Lee Chaplin was born on July 31, 1944 in Santa Monica, California. She is the fourth child of actor and director Charlie Chaplin and the first child of his last wife, Oona O'Neill, whom he married in 1943. Chaplin was over 50 and Una was 18. Geraldine was the first of their eight children.

Her paternal grandparents are English singers Charles Chaplin Sr. and Hannah Chaplin, and her maternal ancestors are Nobel and Pulitzer Prize laureates, American playwright Eugene O'Neill and English writer Agnes Bolton.

When Geraldine was 8 years old, Chaplin and his family went on vacation to the UK and Europe; two days after sailing, the US attorney general signed an order prohibiting the actor from returning to America.

They settled in Switzerland. There, the girl attended a Catholic boarding school, where she learned to speak fluent French and Spanish.

At the age of 8, Charlie Chaplin's daughter made her debut in her father's film "Ramp Lights" in the crowd. The girl was glad that she didn't have to go to school, because she was an actress. But for the children who participated in the filming, there was a special school at the studio, which they had to attend.

In her youth, Geraldine decided to give up college to study dancing, studied this art form in England for 2 years, from 1961 to 1963 at the Royal Ballet School in London. During the year Chaplin danced on the Paris stage. Everything seemed to work out, but she felt that she was not trained from an early age to become a ballet star, so she had to quit the theater. Then Chaplin worked as a model in the capital of France.

When the dream of becoming a ballerina collapsed, Geraldine followed in her father's footsteps. The right doors were immediately opened for her. The first film with the participation of the actress was "A Beautiful Summer Morning", in which she played along with the young, but already famous Jean-Paul Belmondo.

The name of Chaplin's daughter quickly became known thanks to her participation in the film adaptation of Boris Pasternak's novel Doctor Zhivago in 1965. Director David Lin chose her to play Tony Gromeko, the protagonist's wife, for which she received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Debutante. In 1967, Geraldine, along with her relatives, starred in Charlie Chaplin's last and only color film, The Countess from Hong Kong.

In the same year, with the film Chilled Mint Cocktail, a long-term fruitful collaboration with the Spanish director Carlos Saura began. Their joint filmography includes "Three of Stress", "Nora", "Anna and the Wolves", "Raise the Crow", "Eliza, My Life" and others. Sometimes a beauty with symmetrical moles under her eyes played 2 roles at once in one film of the filmmaker: an innocent romantic girl and a glamorous blonde.

In 1973-1974, Chaplin starred in the adventure film The Three Musketeers and its sequel The Four Musketeers, playing the role of Queen Anne of Austria. In 1975, her work in the film Nashville by Robert Altman brought the actress a 2nd Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in the 2nd Plan.

Chaplin starred several times with director Alan Rudolph. Work in the film "Welcome to Los Angeles" in 1978 was rated by the British Academy of Motion Picture Arts as "Best Actress in a Second Plan." This picture was the first to use digital technology. To protect the actress from erotic scenes, they took an understudy, and then inserted Chaplin's face.

In the 1980s, Geraldine played in films in French: Bolero by Claude Lelouch, Life is a Romance by Alain René, Love on the Grass by Jacques Rivette.

In the 1992 biopic about her father, Chaplin, the actress portrayed her grandmother Hannah and was nominated for a third Golden Globe. Shortly thereafter, The Age of Innocence, directed by Martin Scorsese and Jane Eyre by Franco Zeffirelli, was released.

In 1997, the actress landed the lead role in Kevin Connor's film Mother Teresa: In the Name of God's Poor. She played Mother Teresa, who personally approved the script of the film.

In the 2000s, Chaplin resumed work with Spanish directors. She won the Goya Award for the thriller In A City Without Borders in 2002. Then there were "Talk to her" by Pedro Almodovar and "Shelter" by Juan Antonio Bayon. For her role in the latter, Geraldine received a second Goya nomination. The image of Mary in the Catalan drama "Mosquito Net" ("Mosquito Net") in 2010 was awarded the "Crystal Globe".

In 2006, Chaplin was awarded the Gold Medal of the Spanish Academy of Cinematic Arts for his contribution to the development of national cinema.

In America, Geraldine, in the company of Jane Fonda and Salma Hayek, starred in 2011 in the film Let's All Live Together ?, in which the director raised the problems of older people in the modern world. This is the story of 5 friends who do not want to go to a nursing home.

In 2014, Chaplin won the Best Actress award at the Havana Film Festival for her role in the Dominican film Sand Dollars. In the film biography of the actress, there were many works on television: "Some and the Others", "The Corsican Brothers", "Odysseus", "Jesus", "Agatha Christie's Miss Marple", "Me and Kaminski" and others.

In her youth, Chaplin dated several men, but there were two serious and long-lasting romances. The first is with Carlos Saura, a Spanish director who directed the actress in 9 films. Their 12-year relationship began in 1967.

In 1976, Geraldine gave birth to a son, Shane Sauru Chaplin. In 1978, the actress's family fell victim to a failed conspiracy of kidnappers who stole Charlie Chaplin's body and threatened little Shane.

The second romance with Chilean filmmaker Patricio Castilla led to the wedding in 2006, by which time they already had a daughter, Una, who followed in her mother's footsteps. After graduating from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, the girl became a professional actress, played in a dozen TV series and several full-length films.

Recently, the media published a letter of instruction to the actress, which Charlie Chaplin wrote to his 21-year-old daughter before his death. Geraldine denied its authenticity, telling reporters:

Since 2011, Chaplin has been living in Miami with her husband. The family spends their holidays in the residences of Madrid in Spain and Corsier sur Vevey in Switzerland, the last mansion is located next to the former house of Charlie Chaplin.

The actress basically does not do plastic surgery. In an interview about her personal life, she said that she "loves her wrinkles because they are part of her." Now he leads an active life, in clothes he prefers sneakers, trousers and T-shirts, not being afraid to look funny.

Geraldine continues to appear in films and television. In 2018, the movie "Jurassic World 2" was released with her participation.
