20 Easter Eggs You Somehow Missed In Quantum Of Solace
18. Charlie Chaplin's Granddaughter
Quantum of Solace provided one of the first film roles for Charlie Chaplin's granddaughter, Oona Chaplin; she portrays the unfortunate receptionist of the Perla de las Dunas Hotel.
During the latter stages of the film, the hotel (despite being highly unstable and liable to explode at any moment) is shown to be a very poor place to work. In one of the film's most uncomfortable scenes (indeed, one of the most unpalatable scenes in any James Bond film), Oona's character is bound, gagged, and almost raped by the disgusting General Medrano.
Chaplin's character manages to escape when Camille bursts into Medrano's room, thirsting for revenge over the murder of her family. Although it is left unclear whether the receptionist actually manages to escape from the building before it is consumed by flames, her treatment speaks extremely poorly for Greene Planet's labour relations.
Given that director, Marc Forster wished to recall the classic films of yesteryear when making Quantum of Solace. Oona Chaplin's casting is a nice nod to her famous grandfather and even to her mother, Geraldine Chaplin, who has had memorable roles in such hits as The Three Musketeers (1973), Chaplin (1992), Jane Eyre (1996), The Wolfman (2010), and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018).
Oona's career in films and on television continues to rise.
