Subject: Davey Monahan; DAVID LLOYD GEORGE MONAHAN Author: JARVIS---Chicago (Delighted) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Sat, July 06 2019, 18:54:06 In reply to: Anonymous 's message, "Davey Monahan (as Dave Monahan)" on Tue, June 25 2019, 23:54:35 http://www.lordheath.com/Dave_Monahan.html David G. Monahan was born to Helen Grosvenor (1879-1955) and Charles Monahan (1867-1927) and also used "L" for his middle initial. His 1940 WWII Draft Card gives his name as "David Lloyd George Monahan". The Dad was active in the community and ran a successful insurance agency. In June of 1927, the parents and a group of friends drove to Ontario, CA for a "theater party" to watch David in "Baby Brother". David was busy working on his 2nd movie and couldn't go. Six months later, the Dad was dead from a sudden heart attack. He had taken part in an Elk's Club "home coming" program and died shortly after the program. About 1938 David went to work for Leon Schlesinger writing gags for animated cartoons. He worked in this field for most of his career and eventually worked as a TV director (obit). In 1941, he married Doris Campbell (1916-2005) in NJ and enlisted in the US Army writing cartoon stories for Warner Bros. credited as "Sgt. Dave Monahan". The IMDb says he was a practical joker. "....this included once setting fire to the studio 'just for the hell of it, just to see if it would burn'. And it wouldn't burn. He announced his permanent exit from Warner Brothers with 'I'm going to the dentist', before driving halfway across the United States to secure a job elsewhere". Of his 2 children, Sue Larkin became a film director and promoted movies made in Hawaii.
