Biography
American comic actor and stuntman, short and acrobatic, who was one of the original Keystone Kops in Hoffmeyer's Legacy (1912). He also appears with the Marx Brothers in Duck Soup (1933) as well as in several Laurel and Hardy comedies, including the two-reeler Tit for Tat (1935).
He lost many of his teeth and suffered other injuries performing stunts (particularly high diving), including the loss of one of his eyes when he fell into a barrel of water and his eye was irreparably damaged by a floating matchstick. The glass eye he wore after that accident gave him a somewhat "cross-eyed" appearance, although that effect "served only to empower his comedic career."
Bobby Dunn died on 24 March 1937 in Hollywood, California, at the age of 49. He was survived by his wife Ethel and daughter Dorothy.
