Question: I remember seeing Chaplin with a great deal of anticipation, and I thought possibly the film didn't do as well as it might have done because they try to pack his whole life into two hours and fifteen minutes. You played a key character [Oona, Chaplin's fourth wife]. What did you feel about that?

Kelly: It was one of my earliest projects, so I was very excited to be working on it, and I love period pieces, so that was a joy. I hadn't read too much about Chaplin and his life. I knew of his films, so for me it was discovering Chaplin and research of him and Oona. But I do agree. He's such a fascinating man, and everything that he had experienced, from his poverty as a child to his filmmaking, and then to being exiled from the States because of his political stance, even though he wasn't really taking a political stance. It was fascinating. It was a lot of information for people who don't know of Chaplin to try to assess and absorb. I truly think that Robert [Downey Jr.] did an amazing job. He was for me the only one I could see playing that role. It was fantastic, and even as the older Chaplin, I think he captured a lot of his beauty and his sadness and a melancholy. He just did a great job with it. It was a great joy to work with him and, of course, with Richard Attenborough.

Question: Did you marry an actor, by the way?

Kelly: I did not marry an actor, no. He's from Texas.
