She also stated that parts of the scripts for many of the silent comedies she did were almost blank so long as they followed the general gist of the story and the actors said the few lines that were written at the right time so that the title cards could be inserted.

Films Watched and Included in this Blog - 1950s

When I research an actor or actress I would normally watch a film in its entirety to make sure I have the right information regarding the character name and any other information I care to include. Occasionally, this isn't possible owing to the film being only available in part or not at all so I have to rely on other sources for the picture. This is very rare and I can only think of around three or four instances of this happening in the entire blog. When this does happen I endeavour to credit the source website. Many of the screen caps come from films that I have come across on YouTube, but occasionally I use commerical sources such as DVDs to capture the pictures. I do this blog for educational purposes and to hopefully encourage people to go and watch the film for themselves.

Below is the list of films in chronological order that I have watched to create this blog. All my entries into this blog are of actors or actresses who have appeared in films or television sometime between 1888 and 1969. Later films are only included where there were actors in them from the aforementioned period. For example, Jack Nicholson began his film career in the 1950s and was still acting in the 2010s and therefore any film I watch with Jack Nicholson in will be included.

Next to the film title is the names of all of the actors, actresses and extras known to have appeared in the film. Some will have links to take you to thir page in this blog.

[PLEASE NOTE: This cross-referencing project is a work in progress.]

Sally O'Neil

Born: 23 October 1908, Bayonne, New Jersey, USA
Died: 18 June 1968, Galesburg, Illinois, USA

Sally O'Neil was a vaudeville performer and a film actress who moved to Hollywood with her sisters Suzanne and Isabel after their father died. Her real name was Virginia Noonan and it was changed when she began working in silent films in Hollywood.

Sally O'Neil was chosen as a WAMPAS Baby Star of 1926.

Not to be confused with Sue O'Neil, who was actually Sally's sister, later called Molly O'Day. Many sources get the listings of films for each of these actresses mixed up.

Sally O'Neil is on the left with her sister Molly O'Day. In this MGM spectacular many silent actors and actresses were given their first speaking roles.

Molly O'Day

Born: 16 October 1909, Bayonne, New Jersey, USA
Died: 15 October 1998, Avila Beach, California, USA

Molly O'Day was a vaudeville performer and a film actress who moved to Hollywood with her sisters Virginia and Isabel after their father died. Molly, who's real name was Suzanne Noonan, was the youngest of 11 children. She changed her name to Sue O'Neil when she entered the movie industry and her older sister Virginia changed her name to Sally O'Neil. The two sisters' identities in films have often been confused, especially by modern day casual film enthusiasts and historians. In fact, as of writing, the IMDB have many of Molly O'Day's entries, when she was known as Sue O'Neil, on the Sally O'Neil page.

Sue O'Neil worked for the Hal Roach Studios on films starring Glen Tryon, Clyde Cook and Charley Chase, amongst others. When O'Neil signed with First National Pictures in 1927, they tried to change her name to Kitty Kelly until an appeal was lodged by an actress of that name in New York, and so she became Molly O'Day. The actress Kitty Kelly according to IMDB was born as Sue O'Neil! Oh, dear!

Molly O'Day was chosen as a WAMPAS Baby Star of 1928.
