Una O'Connor(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,
The Bride of Frankenstein (1935)
and The Invisible Man (1933).
Her final role was as the devoted housekeeper in
Billy Wilder's
Nhân Chứng Buộc Tội (1957),
a role she originated on stage. Her hilarious testimony during the
trial is one of the film's highlights.
