- RelativesSally O'Neil(Sibling)
- It is rumored she didn't achieve stardom because she added some weight due to her adolescence. The studio punished her by holding back important film offers.
- She and her two sisters all went into show business. Sister Isabelle retired young. Molly and her other successful actress sister, Virginia (renamed 'Sally O'Neil Keenan') both became "Wampas Baby Stars" -- Sally in 1926 and Molly in 1928. They appeared together in three films: The Lovelorn (1927), Show of Shows (1929) and Sisters (1930).
- Sister of Sally O'Neil.
- She was a freshman in high school when Hal Roach selected her to be in the "Our Gang" comedies.
- Was one of 11 children. Her mother, Hannah Kelly, was forced to give up her singing career with the Metropolitan Opera in order to raise her children after her husband, Thomas Francis Noonan, a judge in Bayonne, NJ, died.
- I was a "natural", and because of it I am remembered.
