Oona O'Neil was born in Warwick Parish, Bermuda, the daughter of famed American playwright Eugene O'Neill and English-born socialite Agnes Boulton. Oona had a fairly happy childhood, although she rarely saw her busy father. During her teens Oona attended boarding school in New York where she met Gloria Vanderbilt and Carol Marcus, and in 1941 Oona was named one of the most sought-after débutantes of the social season. Oona felt it was only natural that she become an actress, since she was the daughter of a playwright and the granddaughter of James O'Neill, a noted theater actor during the late 19th century.
Oona traveled to Hollywood in 1942, where she met silent film legend Charles Chaplin at the home of her agent. Chaplin began courting Oona after she auditioned for a film he was directing, and the pair married in 1943. He was 54; she was just 18. Oona scrapped plans to become an actress, opting instead to raise a family of what would be eight children with Charlie. Although Oona was content with her life, she was deeply troubled by the failed relationship with her father, who disowned her and cut communication with Oona when she married Chaplin.
During the height of McCarthyism 1952, Chaplin sailed to England to promote a film. En route, Chaplin learned that he would not be allowed to return to the U.S. unless he would submit to inquires regarding his morality. Refusing to do so, he and his family eventually ended up in Vevey, Switzerland.
Oona spent the rest of her life in Vevey, leaving only a few times after Charlie died in 1977 at the age of 88. (Oona was only 51.) Oona developed a few close relationships with Hollywood icons, like actor Ryan O'Neal, but she never married again. She died in Vevey from pancreatic cancer on September 27th, 1991.- Camera and Electrical Department

Charles Chauvel was born in Queensland, Australia in 1897 to land owners in the south. After minding his family's farm while his father was at war with the Australian Light Horse in Sinai, he went to Sydney against his father's wishes to study drama. After some work in the movies looking after horses, he followed his idol, Rex "Snowy" Baker to America where he found odd jobs, eventually getting some minor parts in some movies. He returned to Australia and in 1926 made his first feature film, "The Moth of Moonbi". His following film, "Greenhide" starred Elsie Sylvaney, the woman who was to become Charles' wife in June 1927. After the birth of their daughter Suzanne, the Chauvels travelled across the Pacific to Pitcairn Island and later Tahiti in their quest to make the film In the Wake of the Bounty (1933), a film which launched the career of Errol Flynn. In 1934 Chauvel began work on the film "Heritage" in response to an offer from the Australian Government of a prize for the best Australian made film. It was an historical epic tracing 150 years of Australian history, and after it's release in 1935 went on to win the prize. After making "Uncivilized", a film which Chauvel was never happy with, Charles and Elsa went to Hollywood to brush up on film techniques, before returning to Australia to make the war film, 40,000 Horsemen (1940). This film was an account of the Australian Light Horse and was a fitting honour to "these dauntless riders and their gallant horses." It was a world-wide success. Charles and Elsa made several war documentaries, "Soldiers Without Uniforms", "The Power to Win", "While There is Still Time", "A Mountain Goes to Sea" and "Russia Aflame" (1942) before making another feature film. The Rats of Tobruk (1944) was a drama set in north-east Libya where the Australian soldiers were fighting Rommel's forces. Live ammunition was used during filming to achieve a realistic effect. When released, soldiers were most impressed with this film for its accuracy in portraying their experiences. The Rugged O'Riordans (1949) was a story based upon the lives of the O'Reilly family who had been pioneers in Australia. It follows three generations of the O'Riordan family from the 1890s. "Sons of Matthew" was filmed under difficult conditions which included almost constant rain. In spite of the large expenses for the production, this film made a healthy profit after a publicity campaign in Britain and USA. Charles decided to make a film in the Northern Territory, Australia, and after a reconnaissance trip which provided several fascinating stories, the story of an Aboriginal woman, Jedda, was formed. The first colour feature film made in Australia, Jedda the Uncivilized (1955) was the story of an Aboriginal woman, Jedda, who was fostered by white parents and promised in marriage to Joe, a part-Aboriginal who worked on their station. Marbuck, an Aboriginal from another tribe kidnaps Jedda and condemned by his own tribe eventually takes the two of them to their deaths. Over the next few years, Charles and Elsa travelled around Australia, making a series of documentaries for the BBC, before Charles died suddenly of a heart attack in 1959.- Robert Lussier was born on 14 December 1934 in West Warwick, Rhode Island, USA.
