actress, soundtrack

Una O'Connor was born on Oct 23, 1880 in UK. Una O'Connor's big-screen debut came with Murder! directed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1930. Una O'Connor is known for Witness for the Prosecution directed by Billy Wilder, Tyrone Power stars as Leonard Vole and Marlene Dietrich as Christine. The upcoming new movie Una O'Connor plays is Witness for the Prosecution which will be released on Feb 06, 1958.

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