Oona is one of four women who married Charlie Chaplin, but to be fair, she was the last and longest.

[@rconger24]

She was lovely!
How many children did they share?

I can't judge my time with the past.. Charly has always made me smile... I'm 53 years old now.. but I judge his fruits..
" Soldiers.. don't give yourself up to brutes !.. men who despise you, who treat you like cattle, and treat you like cannon foder.. machine men, with machine minds, we are not cattle, we are not machine... we are men!" Charly chaplain.......😢

Most funny people are coming from a large amount of pain &/or trauma in their lives.
I’m glad Charlie Chaplin was honored as part of an episode.❤😊

Oona was brought up in my hometown and Graduated High School with my Mom’s childhood friend. I recall Fran saying, “You’ll never guess who was here last week? Oona was home! She visited with her mother and she hasn’t changed at all, the same sweet girl I went to school with!”

May Oona O'Neill be blessed in heaven for the children she bore.

It seemed strange to see film clips of Charlie Chaplin speaking. What a treat.

[@imjustanotherjess]

He actually did quite a few talking films - I definitely recommend checking them out!

[@tammym110]

@@imjustanotherjess I will look them up

[@ivangranger8494]

@Tammym 👍🏼The treat is watching his movies, and listening to his music, composition’s. Both his silent, and talking films, are absolute works of art.

I'm related to his wife my family are the same said O'Neiil's from Ireland, I can see the resemblance in my mum myself and my cousins to Oona

[@isaacstone7899]

Your DNA will match their DNA.

American actor, Ed O'Neil, has ancestry from Ireland. I wonder if he is related to them as well! His family came to the United States in the 1850s to escape the Great Potato Famine.

[@johnbethea4505]

Some of my ancestors were McNeils, are they kin to the O'Neils?

[@DoloresJRush]

That’s exciting news! Our O’Neal/Oneal surname was spelled differently. Is there any history on how the names get changed into different spellings?

[@user-lq9oi5jq3n]

Awesome.

I don’t think that’s Charlie Chaplin I think that’s Aharlie Haplin

[@coppertopv365]

So... Charlie Chapman married a distant cousin?

[@controlledchaos8851]

Is she rocking a grille ?

[@asian3369]

Oone was Born and raised in Bermuda. Making her Bermudian

[@rconger24]

Bermuda is an island. Ireland is an island. They're all Islanders. Fiji is an island...
