Josephine Hannah Chaplin was born in Santa Monica, California on March 1949, six years after her parents eloped in 1943 .

The actress is the third of eight children from Charlie and his fourth wife, Oona O’Neill.

The Salinger actress is the daughter of Nobel Prize-winning playwright Eugene O’Neill.

Josephine managed the Chaplin office in Paris on behalf of her siblings over the years.

She sponsored a statue of her father in Waterville, Ireland, which is where her family vacationed often.

After marrying her second husband, archeologist Jean-Claude Gardin, the pair remained together until his death in 2013.

She is survived by her sisters, Victoria, Jane and Annette; brothers Eugene and Christopher; and sons: Charly, Julien and Arthur.
