Ollen George Dunn was born in Brownwood in 1914. He began his career in New York City as a vaudeville performer. His performances brought to mind Will Rogers, often including not only rope tricks, but homespun humor and satire of American life and politics, delivered with a Texas drawl.
He moved on to Hollywood, appearing in twenty five movies. He had roles in Operation Petticoat with Tony Curtis and Gavin MacLeod, Giant, Inherit the Wind, The Long Hot Summer, The Kettles on Old MacDonald’s Farm, and Shenandoah. John Wayne’s final film, The Shootist, was also Dunn’s final film.
During the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, Dunn appeared in over a hundred television 
programs, including The Andy Griffith Show, Bonanza, The Beverly Hillbillies, My Favorite Martian, and Starsky and Hutch.
Although George Dunn’s name never became well-known, he had a long, busy acting career. Ollen George Dunn died in 1982, from an undisclosed cause, and was buried in Greenleaf Cemetery.
