  1. Either as Anne d/Autriche (Anne of Austria) or Ana of Spain, in the Musketeer movies; my wife and I were extras in Age of Innocence, but we were only there for the opera sequence, so never saw her work.

  2. I want so much to see this version of the House of Mirth but it seems to be unattainable. I liked her in Age of Innocence.

  3. OK I didn’t even know Chaplain HAD a daughter. Loved her in The Crown!
    Also, isn’t it meta, playing your own grandmother? But great casting.

  4. Gosh, she kinda looks like Wallis. But I’m going with Mrs Welland and Anne d’Autriche. Gotta love the wacky ruff and a queen who has a goat cart.

  5. I highly recommend The Moderns. It’s an overlooked hoot and worth the price of admission for Wallace Shawn.

    1. The Moderns is one of my absolute favorites. Directed by Alan Rudolph, with Montreal playing Paris in the 20’s. Haunting soundtrack and first rate, fanciful production values.

      Geraldine plays a real ditz with a lovely wardrobe.

      Not streaming anywhere. I bought the DVD…..

  6. I’ve been watching Agatha Christie’s Marple television series (2004-2013) lately, and just this evening saw the second season episode Sleeping Murder. In a small but pivotal role, Geraldine Chaplin appears as a overbearing mother in the 1950s, with flashbacks to the 1930s. She commands the screen.

    However, my favorite of her roles is Queen Anne, in the various Musketeer films.

  7. It’s a tie between The Age of Innocence and The Crown because those are my favorites overall, but honestly, I barely remember her in either of those. My fave Geraldine Chaplin performance is her role as the ballet teacher in the contemporary Spanish film Habla Con Ella. Based on the pictures, the best pictures are from the Musketeers movies.

  8. Oh, is she Oona Chaplin’s mother? You know, Robb Stark’s poor wife in Game of Thrones? I know Oona Chaplin is a grandaughter of Charlie but not who her parents are.
