Glynnis O'Connor was first noticed by the public masses in 1976 when she starred opposite the teen heart throb of the time, Robby Benson, in the low budget film adaptation of the popular song Ode to Billie Joe. That was quickly followed by playing opposite John Travolta in the television movie, The Boy in the Plastic Bubble and then back with Robby Benson again in the television adaptation of the play Our Town.
In the late 1970's she was a familiar face in the then popular made-for-television movies. Once the networks stopped churning out the weekly dramas, Glynnis O'Connor seemed to fade away. Actually, she never quit working, but without the networks promoting her work, her name quietly faded from the spotlight.
Unless you're a baby boomer, you might not be familiar with Glynnis O'Connor, but she's a good actress whose work deserves a second look. My personal favorite of hers is a little seen gem from 1980 called Those Lips, Those Eyes with Frank Langella about summer stock theatre in the 1950's.
Glynnis O'Connor is still working as an actress, although she isn't as high profile as she once was, she's still a solid presence to any project she's a part of.
