Biography of

Jackie Condon

    From Wikipedia

    John Michael "Jackie" Condon (March 25, 1918 –

    October 13, 1977) was an American child actor who was a regular in the Our Gang

    short series from 1922 until 1929, during the Pathé silent era.

    Condon was born in March 1918 in Los Angeles, California. In

    1919, he began his acting career by appearing in the film Jinx. By 1922, he

    appeared in many silent films and later starred in the Our Gang comedies as

    "Jackie".

    When he joined the gang in 1921, he was the little tag-along

    toddler of the gang who was usually put off by the older children but anxious

    to be part of the action that the older members take place in. As he grew

    older, his character developed into the all-American member of cast. He left

    the series in 1928. Condon was part of the first original gang that was well

    known to audiences that watched "Our Gang". He appeared in all of the

    sixty-six Pathé silent comedies and twelve of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer silent

    comedies before leaving the series. By the time of his departure, Condon had

    appeared in seventy-eight of the shorts over a seven year term.

    After he left Our Gang, Condon went back to public school

    and graduated in 1936. He tried to return to acting during the 1950s, without

    much success. He later worked at Rockwell International with fellow Our Gang

    alumni and co-star Joe Cobb. In 1977, Condon died at age 59 from cancer. He was

    cremated, and his ashes were scattered.
