Actress Chaplin

Answer:

OONA

Hint:

Married to legendary writer and filmmaker Charlie Chaplin, this actress was also the daughter of renowned playwright Eugene O'Neill.

Explanation:

"Actress Chaplin" refers to Oona Chaplin, the daughter of Charlie Chaplin and an actress known for roles in Game of Thrones and The Long Song. The clue plays on her famous last name, which immediately ties her to the Chaplin family, while the straightforward "Actress" hints at her own career rather than her legendary father’s. It’s a direct reference where the surname does most of the work, making "Oona" the obvious fit.
