...Chaplin, 42, returned to the U.S. to the bedside of her mother, Agnes Boulton O'Neill Kaufman, 76, who had been admitted to a hospital suffering from malnutrition. It was Oona's first trip home since she renounced her citizenship 15 years ago, after Charlie ran into visa trouble with the Attorney General on "moral" grounds. Denounced and disinherited by her late father, Playwright Eugene O'Neill, for marrying the 54-year-old Chaplin when she was 18, Oona has also been estranged from her mother, who was married to O'Neill from...
