Donald O’Connor, best known for the physical and musical acumen that made him a star in the 1950s, and the mastermind behind Singin’ in the Rain’s famous “Make ‘Em Laugh” number, died on September 27, 2003. He was 78.
O’Connor had barely left the womb before embarking on his long show-business career. The son of an acrobat, Effie Irene Crane, and a circus strongman, Chuck O’Connor, one of the O’Connors of Bansha, Co. Tipperary Donald was raised on the stage. After his father’s death, his mother incorporated her children into her vaudeville acts. In 1938, he made his Hollywood film debut as Bing Crosby’s younger bother in Sing You Sinners after being scouted out at a benefit in the Biltmore Hotel in LA.
