Chaplin, who was named after her grandmother Oona O'Neill, the fourth wife and widow of Charles Chaplin, is the daughter of Geraldine Chaplin and the Chilean cinematographer Patricio Castilla.

After leaving Gordonstoun she was accepted to study at the famous RADA. One of her first cinema appearances was a cameo appearance in the James Bond movie Quantum of Solace. Oona was considered for the role as the main Bond girl, however the role eventually went to friend Gemma Arterton.
