Biography

O'Leary was born in County Cork, Ireland, to an Irish mother and a French father; the family relocated to Paris when O'Leary was a girl before heading to America and settling in Tacoma, Washington.[2][3] She got into acting as a child on Sennett's lot.[4] She appeared in dozens of films over the course of her career (mostly comedies and Westerns) and also owned her own restaurant in Hollywood for a time.[5] She married Dr. Clement J. Joynt in 1930 and appears to have retired from acting soon after. She divorced Joynt in 1936.[6]
