Biography
Michael O'Shea (1906-1973), who appeared on the stage and in films, never quite became a star, although he did manage to marry one: Virginia Mayo, with whom he'd appeared in the 1943 film Jack London. O'Shea, who was married to Mayo from 1947 until his death in 1973, appeared with his wife in several stock presentations. Perhaps best known for playing Barbara Stanwyck's boyfriend in the 1943 film, Lady of Burlesque, O'Shea also starred in the 1955 TV sitcom, It's A Great Life, which, although not an immediate hit, had a great second life in reruns. Before making his mark as an actor, O'Shea made a living as an emcee in speakeasies and with his own dance band.
