History: Donald "Donnie" Smith is the younger brother of Jay R. Smith, a "Little Rascals" regular in the Our Gang shorts. He appeared in four shorts between 1928 and 1929. Not much is known about his private life, but he later lived in Dade City, Florida, the father of seven grown children. Described in excellent health and a barrel of laughs, he was deeply saddened by the death of his brother J.R. in 2002. At that point, he was the last living member of his family's acting legacy and one of the last living members of the old Our Gang troupe.
In his later years, he did not talk a lot about his brief time in the movies, but he did chuckle about the fact that he was fired at the tender age of five because he didn't like the director (possibly Anthony Mack). Sadly, he passed away in July 2022.
