Talk to the reference librarian at the U of Minnesota library. There are a number of biographical dictionaries, WHO'S WHO, and other works, not all of them online, that should be of some help. Also check the FILM LITERATURE INDEX to see if O'Connor is listed for interviews or other articles that might include biographical sketches or other information.
