  Oona O'Neill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oona - the Irish form of her mother's name, Agnes - was born while her parents were living in Bermuda, and during a period of heavy drinking by Eugene O'Neill.
Chaplin later wrote that he was immediately smitten by Oona's "luminous beauty" and "sequestered charm", and despite a thirty-six-year age difference, they were married in Carpinteria, California, on June 16, 1943, when he was fifty-four and she was eighteen.
Chaplin and Oona had eight children: three sons, Michael (born in 1946), Eugene (born in 1953), and Christoper (born in 1962, when Chaplin was seventy-three), and five daughters, actress Geraldine Chaplin (born in 1944), Josie (born in 1949), Vicky (born in 1951), Jane (born in 1957), and Annie (born in 1959).

 Oona O'Neil Chaplin
Oona was receiving a letter almost every day from a boy named Jerry in New York.
I told Oona I was afraid that if I wrote to Bill, [William Saroyan] he'd find out what an idiot I was, and decide not to marry me, so she marked the clever passages in her letters from Jerry and let me copy them, as my own, in my letters to Bill.
Oona ofcourse went on to marry Charles Chaplin, and according to Ian Hamilton, a JDS letter at Harry Ransom (duplicated and sent to both Whit Burnett and Elizabeth Murray) apparently makes very nasty reading on the subject of Charles Chaplin, "and one fails to locate in it any powerful sense of loss."

His fourth marriage to Oona O'Neill, daughter of the playwright Eugene O'Neill, in 1943 was his happiest and most stable marriage, lasting until Charlie's death in 1977.
The fact that Oona decided to give up her own acting ambitions to be a wife and mother no doubt contributed to the success of the marriage; for once Charlie had a mate who was not in competition with him.

 Review: 'Lady Chaplin & Her Tramp: The Life and Art of Charlie Chaplin'
Oona O'Neill Chaplin is certainly one of the more interesting characters in 20th century American history.
Devoted to Chaplin, she bore him eight children and still had time to become involved in the various controversies that swirled around her husband in the later years of his life.
While Stock touches on several aspects of Chaplin's life -- his "serious" artistic aspirations, his embrace of Communism -- the story focuses primarily on Chaplin's obsession with young girls, Oona included (they met when she was 16 and Chaplin was 54).

 Yes, Kiera Chaplin is a descendant of you-know-who. But she is her own woman (who has posed topless).
The youngest grandchild of comic genius Charlie Chaplin and Oona O'Neill Chaplin and the great-granddaughter of playwright Eugene O'Neill, the Irish-born stunner Chaplin has started to take an interest in the tragedian branch of the family tree.
Chaplin is curled into a window seat overlooking the Las Trampas Hills toward Mount Diablo, the same view O'Neill gazed upon from the upstairs study where he penned his masterpiece "Long Day's Journey into Night." "Some people tell me I look like my grandfather, and other people tell me I look like Oona," she says.
Unlike her notoriously shy and reclusive great-grandfather, Chaplin has been at ease in the spotlight, and something of a troublemaker, from a young age.
