John Michael "Jackie" Condon (March 25, 1918 – October 13, 1977) was an American child actor who was a regular on the Our Gang short series during the Pathé silent era.
[edit] Career
Jackie Condon first appeared in the 1922 Our Gang silent short film, Our Gang. Condon was known for his mischievous behavior and his wild, unruly hair which looked like it had been combed with an eggbeater. Although he was popular, he was never really a standout player. Despite that, Condon was the only regular to appear in every one of the 66 Pathé comedies produced. In total, he appeared in 78 Our Gang comedies over seven years. He starred in his last Our Gang short, Crazy House, in 1928. He left the series in 1928 at the age of ten and disappeared from show business for a while. He tried a comeback in the early 1950s without much success. At one time he worked with fellow Our Gang actor Joe Cobb at Rockwell International in Los Angeles.
[edit] Death
Condon died of cancer on October 13, 1977 in Inglewood, California. He was cremated, and his ashes scattered.
