Merle Oberon: born Estelle Merle O'Brien Thompson, was an Academy Award-nominated British film actress.Oberon was born in Bombay (now Mumbai), British India. Until fairly recently, her parentage has remained deliberately obscure. Merle's mother was 15-year-old Anglo-Sri Lankan Constance Selby; her father is unknown. Constance's mother Charlotte Selby took the child immediately and raised Merle as her own, never revealing her true parentage to anyone. Charlotte's partner Arthur Thompson, a British army officer stationed in India, became Merle's putative father, and Charlotte her mother. Merle knew Constance only as her "sister."
