Scandal followed him everywhere When thev met in late 1942, Chaplin was considering Oona for a film role. The film was never made. But something else began that neither of them expected To the watching world, it looked like every cliché. An aging star pursuing naive youth. A young woman seeking the father who had abandoned her. The age gap made headlines. The fact that Chaplin was only six months younger than Oona's own father made it ever more shocking Eugene O'Neill was furious. The playwright who had written masterpieces about family dysfunction could not forgive his own daughter for choosing love he did not approve of. He disowned her immediately and completely. He never spoke to her again. Not once. Not ever. When Eugene O'Neill died in 1953, Oona was not mentioned in his will. The father who had written so eloquentlv about tragedy could not bring himself to reconcile with his daughter. But Oona had made her choice.

In the early 1990s, while filming Mrs. Doubtfire in San Francisco, Robin Williams made a quiet request He asked the crew to hire a few people from a nearby homeless shelter No press. No explanation. He didn't want anvone to know why Later. an assistant director revealed that Robin did this on every film. He insisted that at least ten people from shelters be given jobs--catering, cleanup, production help. By the end of his life, nearly 1,500 people had worked because of him One man hired on Mrs. Doubtfire said 'He treated me like I'd been there forever Joked with me every day like we were old friends. ." Robin never talked about it. Others did- after he was gone. In the late 1980s, after a stand-up show in New York, Robin slipped into a shelter alone. No cameras. He brought pizza, sat on the floor, and listened. One man said ater. "He didn't ask about our mistakes He asked what made us laugh as kids." During Good Will Hunting, he again asked the studio to hire from shelters One man saved enough to rent an apartment. Robin bought him a suit for iob interviews. "Evervone deserves a second act" he said Shelters later discovered large anonymous donations. One Los Angeles shelter only learned the truth when a thank-vou letter came back marked "no such address." A worker recognized the action." While filming Patch Adams, Robin visited a shelter in West Virginia carrying boxes of socks, gloves, and coats. When asked why, he smiled and said, "The weather's turning. Cold doesn't care if you're tired." Even on tour, he'd walk streets at dawn, handing out coffee and sandwiches. When a guard asked why, Robin replied "Because this is where people are." Robin Williams didn't perform kindness He practiced it--quietly, consistently without witnesses And that may be the greatest role he ever played.
