Jessie Buckley, Star Wars, Charlie Chaplin... Eight Kerry connections to Hollywood and the silver screen

A Killarney woman might be the toast of the movie world on Sunday night, but the people of the Kingdom are already very comfortable rubbing shoulders with the great and the good of Hollywood 

Kerry connections: Charlie Chaplin was a frequent visitor to Waterville; Jessie Buckley hails from Killarney; Skellig Michael featured in two Star Wars films.

For a county better known for fishermen and the occasional All-Ireland success, Kerry has quietly built a fairly impressive CV in the world of cinema.

Between Oscar-nominated actors, visiting legends of the Silent Era and blockbuster franchises that have turned remote rocks into global tourist hotspots, the Kingdom has had more brushes with Hollywood than you might expect. Here are eight times Kerry and the silver screen crossed paths.
