Glynnis O'Connor

An attractive leading lady whose best success has come in TV-movies, the auburn-haired Glynnis O'Connor has eyes that can register poignancy, con artistry, or deep caring, and she has continually used them to their best advantage. She got her start while still a teenager in "Jeremy" (1973), in which she was the slightly older girlfriend of Robby Benson in this tale of young love amongst Manhattan's private school elite. In 1976, O'Connor was opposite the much more sexually dangerous Jan-Michael Vincent in "Baby Blue Marine." That same year, she was teamed again with Benson, playing Bobbie Lee Hartley in "Ode to Billy Joe," an independent movie based on the popular ballad that became a modest box-office hit. Subsequent feature roles have not been as spotlighted, although O'Connor was opposite Michael Keaton in the 1984 comedy "Johnny Dangerously."
