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.
