Separated at birth?
[See ADDENDUM below.]
They were high school buddies. Both were children of divorce, and both were famous at a young age.
The first two photos are one person, the second two another.
ADDENDUM and CORRECTION: Mea culpa. I was so fooled by the resemblance between these two women that I accidentally posted three from column A and only one from column B. That is, the first three photos in the post above are of person number one, and only the fourth and last photo is of person number two. I still think that the third photo looks more like the person in the fourth photo than it does the person in the first two. Weird.
However, I’m rectifying the error by adding two more photos of the woman who appears in the fourth and last photo above. That way there will be three photos of each woman in the entire post.
[HINT: If you want the instant gratification of the answer, it’s here. Don’t peek if you don’t want to know.]
I guessed Gloria Vanderbilt and Lee Radziwill, but I’m wrong on at least one. Wiki says both attended Miss Porter’s School, but they are 9 years apart in age.
With bated breath….

I won’t spill the beans—yet.
Oona O’Neill Chaplain and Gloria Vanderbilt?
If I did it right, Google thinks there are three Oona O’Neil Chaplin photos and one Gloria Vanderbilt.
Wow, Neo, this is the first “separated at birth” that you’ve posted in which I swear they are, in fact, the same person. The first and third picture especially.
I have no idea who it is; but, she (they?) is (are?) stunningly beautiful.
The last picture caught her at a bad angle; but one can still she her charming smile and beauty.
My initial thought on seeing the first two was Natalie Merchant, but I know the photos are too old to be her.
The first picture is absolutely breathtaking. The last two are Gloria V. The first(and, therefore, the second)is a drop-dead, staggering beauty.
There are pictures of Jeanne Tripplehorn that look like these gals but she is of a different generation.
What I see is Natalie Merchant.

In the rage of Obama millions have been blind, lost inside their utopian dreams, and hypnotized and mesmerized by what they wanted so urgently to believe.
I just realized that I got so confused by the remarkable resemblance that I accidentally posted three photos of one woman and one of the other by mistake. Arghhh! I’ve added an addendum to the post that corrects the problem by adding two more photos of person number 2—take a look above.
Daughter Geraldine carries her mom’s look too, if a bit more thinly.
Neo-Neocon: ” . . . I accidentally posted three photos of one woman and one of the other by mistake.”
Okay then, I wasn’t going crazy in thinking that pic 1 and 3 were the same.
P.S. I’m going crazy for other reasons; but not that.
Gloria Vanderbilt and Diane van Furstenberg
“Daughter Geraldine carries her mom’s look too, if a bit more thinly.”
Yes…. now I see Geraldine & Natalie.
Not long ago I came across a picture of Marilyn Monroe taken in 1948, before she became a blonde. Marilyn Monroe as brunette bore a strong resemblance to the wedding pictures taken in 1948 of an aunt of mine,who was about the same age as Marilyn Monroe.
Gloria and Oona.
I’m confused, but I’m pretty sure the woman in the fourth and last photo is Gloria Vanderbilt. She has that top-and-bottom smile.
mizpants:
“Top-and-bottom smile”—that’s a good one. I think of it as a very slight grimace.
But they do all look alike, don’t they? Really, when I was looking up the early photos, I had some trouble telling the two women apart (thus, my initial error with that third photo).
EVERYONE–the answer here:
Yes, the first lovely is Oona O’Neill Chaplin, daughter of Eugene O’Neill, and later the 18-year-old bride of the 50-something Charlie Chaplin, and mother of his 2000-or-so children. Chaplin and she remained married until his death 34 years later at the age of 88 (Chaplin described their meeting as “the happiest event of my life”, and claimed to have found “perfect love”, according to Wiki).
Oona is no longer alive, but Gloria Vanderbilt, her friend and contemporary and the mother of Anderson Cooper and many pairs of blue jeans, is. She, of course, is the second woman.
