Monty O'Grady

A member of the early Our Gang group, child actor Monty O'Grady appeared in Our Gang (1922), A Pleasant Journey (1923), Dogs of War (1923), and Every Man for Himself (1924). O'Grady was Splutters, one of Mary Pickford's fellow orphans in Sparrows, and Lafe McKee's little son in the Western Baited Trap (1926). Although he disappears from film credits after 1927, apparently Monty O'Grady continued to appear in films (and later television) for the remainder of his life, mainly as an extra. He died at the Motion Picture Country House and Hospital in Woodland Hills, CA, oddly enough on the very same day as yet another silent screen child actor, Stanley Goethals.
