Live and act

The daughter of a producer and an actress had already made contact with the film and television industry as a teenager. Shortly before her 16th birthday, the attractive New Yorker was engaged in the coming-of-age and initiation story Jeremy , filmed in O'Connor's hometown in the fall of 1972, to play the leading female role of the graceful ballet actress and half-orphan Susan Rollins . Glynnis O'Connor was convincing in this tender, thoughtful tale of two outsiders, which (despite a subtly photographed nude and love scene) at no time seems purposeful in itself, with its restrained yet pointed game. With all the feeling of both protagonists - as O'Connor's partner you saw Robby Benson , who was almost the same age - this story of two shy teenagers and their first great love never slipped into sweet kitsch, not least due to the lack of a cheap happy ending .

Despite favorable reviews for her play, Glynnis O'Connor was unable to derive any real benefit for her acting career in the period that followed. Immediately after the premiere, she received the female lead in the television series Sons and Daughters by Jeremy and was seen again at Benson's side in the 1975 movie The Seduction . Glynnis O'Connor was also offered leading roles in the following years - in the reminiscence of the theater world your lips, your eyes she embodied a ballet dancer again - but without leaving a bigger impression with these films. In the autumn of 1980 the artist came to Bavaria to film in order to take part in the balloon escape drama With the Wind to the West , based on a real event the previous year . There she embodied the fearful GDR refugee Petra Wetzel, mother of two children.

After the title role in the indifferent Love Story Melanie , the wife's part in the amateur boxer drama Two Fists for a Baby and the role of Air Force nurse Leola Mae in the TV drama Why Me? struggling to get back to life after being severely disfigured as a result of a car accident, their roles began to become smaller and insignificant. Even so, Glynnis O'Connor stayed in business and played mostly in television productions in the period that followed.

The actress is married and has two daughters.
