Una O'Connor (I) (1880–1959)

Actress | Soundtrack

Delightful character actress who held her own against such acting heavyweights as Charles Laughton, Boris Karloff, Tyrone Power, Barbara Stanwyck, and Sydney Greenstreet. Often cast by studio heads as comic relief thanks to her thick Irish accent and rubber-faced expressions, most notably in Universal's horror classics... See full bio »

Born:

Agnes Teresa McGlade
in Belfast, Ireland, UK (now Belfast, Northern Ireland, UK)

Died:

(age 78) in New York City, New York, USA
