She was born as Josephine Hannah Chaplin in Santa Monica, United States. She was Geraldine’s sister.
She was married to a Greek businessman named Nikki Sistovaris. The marriage lasted almost ten years and they divorced in 1977. Later she had a relationship with the French actor Maurice Ronet, a link that was maintained until the death of the interpreter, in 1983. She married once more, with the archaeologist Jean-Claude Gardin, with whom she lived from 1989 until the man died ten years ago, in 2013.
At the head of his father’s legacy, he collaborated strongly in the creation of the Charlie Chaplin Archive, of the Cineteca di Bologna, in Italywhere Josephine’s help in the process of inventorying the archives and navigating the vast material, “was essential.”
Josephine has left her contribution to the world of cinema, starting from a surname as illustrious as it is insurmountable. And it’s not unreasonable to think that she will be remembered for her outstanding acting career and her dedication to preserving the memory and legacy of her illustrious father.
