Oona

Usually I don't watch a dramatic series on standard broadcasting, the commercials induce drowsiness - not with Hardy. Taboo is taut and suspenseful with TH ratcheting up the tension with every scene.

Oona Chaplin II is gorgeous, she has a presence about her that her mother Geraldine never had. I already knew that from Game of Thrones, she carries it well in Taboo. She and Hardy have dynamite chemistry, too bad they play siblings.

She is the granddaughter of Charlie Chaplin and the great granddaughter of Eugene O'Neil. Chaplin married Oona Sr during WW II, they stayed together until his passing. Smart man, Oona Sr was a devastating beauty!

Oona Chaplin Jr is no slouch in the sex appeal department either.

She's also done an episode of Black Mirror with John Hamm.

I did not recognize her from GOT. I was very impressed by Oona. An excellent casting choice.

As a man I most certainly recognized Oona, she was Robb Stark's wife.

My op on the Golden Gobbulars:

Charlie had some gorgeous women in his day, I would rate Paulette Goddard a 10. Oona Sr won out, she had no ambition to become a film star. Charlie wanted a woman that would put him first. He got the best possible offer and lived to the ripe old age of 88.

I'm not entirely sure Oona Jr has Mediterranean blood, her grandmother had olive skin as well. And I'm more than sold on her role, she the best female co-lead Tom's ever had. With all due respect to lovely Jessie.
