Early life and education
Geraldine Leigh Chaplin was born in Santa Monica, California, the fourth child of actor and filmmaker Charlie Chaplin's fourth child, as well as the first child of his fourth marriage, Oona O'Neill, who married in 1943. When Geraldine Chaplin was born and Oona was 19 years old, Charlie Chaplin was 55 years old. Geraldine was the first of their eight children. Eugene Chaplin Sr. and Hannah Chaplin (born Hannah Harriet Pedlingham Hill) and her maternal grandparents, Eugene O'Neill and Agnes Boulton, were Nobel- and Pulitzer-Prize-winning American playwright Eugene O'Neill and Agnes Boulton.
Geraldine's father took the family on holiday to Britain and Europe when she was eight years old. Attorney General James P. McGranery ordered that Chaplin's permission to re-enter the country two days after it had sailed. Chaplin's father migrated the family to Switzerland. She went to boarding school, where she learned French and Spanish fluently. Geraldine appeared in her father's film Limelight (1952), which was also in this time period (1952).
Personal life
Chaplin has had two very long-term relationships. Carlos Saura, a Spanish film director who had produced several films, was the first film in which she appeared. Shane Saura Chaplin, the couple's son, was born in 1974.
Oona, a British and Spanish film actress, has her second long-term relationship with Chilean cinematographer Patricio Castilla, whom she married in 2006 and with whom she has a daughter who is a British and Spanish actress.
In 1978, the Chaplin family was the victims of a failed extortion attempt carried out by robbers who had taken Charlie Chaplin's body. Geraldine Chaplin negotiated with the kidnappers, who had already assaulted her infant son.
Chaplin has owned a home in Miami as of 2011. She was also living in residences between Madrid and Corsier-sur-Vevey, Switzerland, (the latter is near the former long-time home of her parents).
Career
She decided against attending college to focus on dance instead, and spent two years in England, including a time at the Royal Ballet School in 1961. She then danced for a year in Paris. Although a natural dancer, she felt she hadn't been conditioned from an early enough age to excel at it, and so gave up ballet. "I didn't leave ballet, ballet left me," she said. It was a huge disappointment for her.
Geraldine began modeling in Paris and then moved to Paris. She was then discovered by David Lean. It will take many years before she would be able to attend a ballet performance.
Chaplin followed her father into what was to become a prolific acting career as her aspirations of becoming a ballet dancer came to an end. She came to prominence in the role of Tonya in David Lean's Doctor Zhivago (1965). David Lean selected her to play the main character's wife, for which she was given a Golden Globe Award nomination in the category "Most Promising Female Newcomer" category. "Because of my name," she explained in an interview to publicize the film, the right doors were opened."
She made her Broadway debut in Lillian Hellman's The Little Foxes in 1967. In a New York Times review, Clive Barnes praised Chaplin "acts with passion and vigour" giving a performance of "surprising power."
She also started what would be a fruitful collaboration in the psychological thriller Peppermint Frappé (1967), directed by Spanish film producer Carlos Saura (1967).
Chaplin appeared alongside Charlton Heston in the American historical film The Hawaiians (1970).
Chaplin appeared in The Three Musketeers (1973), and Nefertiti y Aquenatos (1973) of Ral Araiza, in which she appeared as ancient Egyptian queen Nefertiti alongside Egyptian movie actor Salah Zulfikar (1974), as well as the sequel, The Four Musketeers (1974). In Robert Altman's Nashville (1975), Chaplin was cast as the obnoxious BBC reporter Opal, for which she received her second Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress. She went on to appear in the Altman films Buffalo Bill and the Indians, as well as Sitting Bull's History Lesson (1976), and then A Wedding (1978) in between.
Chaplin co-wrote scripts for and appeared in several later Saura films, including Ana and the Wolves (1973), Cra Cuervos (1977) and Mamá cumple cien (1979). At the 1976 Cannes Film Festival, Cra Cuervos received the Special Jury Award. Chaplin's "superb" appearance was lauded by critic Vincent Canby.
Chaplin appeared in many films directed by Alan Rudolph and Altman (1976), in which she played a housewife addicted to cab rides. She has been lauded for her role in Remember My Name (1978), in which she appeared in Anthony Perkins' murderous estranged wife.
Chaplin argued that her career was more fruitful in Europe than in the United States in an interview with The New York Times in 1977. "I only seem to work with Altman here," she said. No such offers have been received in this region, but there are none. Not even a novel to read. Altman and James Ivory are the only one who ever asks me.
Chaplin appeared in several French-language films, including Claude Lelouch's Les Uns et les Autres (1981), Alain Resnais' Life Is a Bed of Roses (1984), and then the American film I Want to Go Home (1989).
Chaplin appeared in Rudolph's 1920s-set film The Moderns (1988).
Hannah Chaplin, her grandmother, was nominated for her third Golden Globe Award in a biographical film about her father, Chaplin (1992).

Chaplin continued to appear in Mother Teresa: In the Name of God's Prisoners (1997).
