SoCultures: Well, you had turbulent relationships. Did you
finally meet anyone whom you wanted to spend the rest of
your life with?
Chaplin: Her name was Oona O’Neill, she came into my life
at the last stage of my life. She was 36 years younger to me,
but that didn’t stop the love to blossom between us. We
married and ended up having eight children. She was my true
soul mate.
AWARDS
SoCultures: Beautifully spoken sir, can you tell us about an award
that you wished for and eventually arrived in your hands?
Chaplin: Every actor wishes to get prestigious “The Academy
Award” and I too was one of them. It finally occurred to me in the
form of an honorary award after making my final film “A Countess
from Honk Kong”.
SoCultures: Thank you so much for giving us your time Mr. Chaplin,
it was so good to know about your life which made you the master of
silent film era and also inspiring many generations towards acting.
Chaplin: *raises his hat and mimics me and smiles…a terrific typical
Chaplin smile!
