# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born July 31, 1944, to Charlie Chaplin and Oona O'Neill — playwright Eugene O'Neill's daughter — Geraldine Chaplin started in dance and modeling before acting pulled her in. She broke through as Tonya in David Lean's Doctor Zhivago in 1965, earning a Golden Globe nomination, then made her Broadway debut in The Little Foxes two years later. A twelve-year relationship with Spanish director Carlos Saura beginning in the early seventies brought a string of collaborations — Ana and the Wolves, Cría Cuervos, Elisa, vida mía, Mamá cumple cien años — that anchored her in European art cinema. She moved fluidly between English, French, Italian, and Spanish productions: a second Golden Globe nod for Altman's Nashville in 1975, a BAFTA nomination for Welcome to L.A., roles in Jacques Rivette's experimental films, and eventually a Goya Award for En la ciudad sin límites in 2002. In 1992 she played Hannah Chaplin — her own grandmother — in Chaplin, pulling a third Golden Globe nomination, and by 2006 the Spanish Academy gave her its gold medal for her contribution to their cinema.
