Biography
Born in Fresno, California, in 1911, O'Donnell appeared in 191 films between 1923 and 1978. He worked frequently for producer Hal Roach, often appearing in silent comedies as the bratty son of Max Davidson or Charley Chase. His sound era roles were mostly uncredited bits, though he has the unusual distinction of playing the same role (a newsboy) in both an original film and its remake: Princess O'Hara and It Ain't Hay. He died in 1986 in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles.
