Merle Oberon: Maree Delofski
built 640 days ago
Delofski is shown the doctor's rooms where Oberon was (supposedly) born, and photos of the midwife and of Chintock, who had similar facial features. (An old newspaper refers to Oberon as having "intriguingly slanted eyes".)

In Calcutta, Delofski discovers that Estelle "Queenie" Thompson, later Merle Oberon, had attended a smart private school. But the school has no record of her attendance. Other witnesses in Calcutta and Mumbai (Bombay) remember the young Queenie, one of them suggesting she traveled to London (where she arrived in 1929, aged 18) with a much older man she called "Uncle."

A former journalist turned dog-breeder is sure that Oberon's features proved she was of Chinese descent. She says she has done a lot of judging at dog shows, and at the Miss Tasmania contest, and that you learn to distinguish features. Chintock's nephew tells Delofski that Lottie longed for her lost daughter and travelled to Hobart to watch her movies.
