In 1943, Eugene O'Neill disinherited his only daughter, Oona, for marrying the actor Charlie Chaplin -- Oona was only 18 and Chaplin was 54. In spite of the age difference, however, it turned out to be a perfect match. The couple remained married until Charlie's death in 1977 and had 8 children, including Geraldine, their oldest daughter, who became an actress and appeared in many movies such as Dr. Zhivago (1965) and Chaplin (1992) in which she portrayed her own grandmother. After her husband's death, Oona, who had devoted herself completely to supporting his career, finally fulfilled her own dream of becoming a film actress, appearing in the movie Broken English (1981). She died of pancreatic cancer in 1991.
