Early life and career

Born in Dublin in 1912, O'Mahoney started in theatre, and worked extensively in the 1930s and 1940s, including plays such as Drama at Inish (1933), Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme (1941), and The United Brothers (1942).^[1] She started her film career with some uncredited appearances in movies such as Captain Boycott (1947) and Daughter of Darkness (1948).

She emigrated to America in the early 1950s, where she continued to work in theatre, and was in a number a television episodes in anthology shows such as The 20th Century-Fox Hour (1955), Lux Video Theatre (1955), Front Row Center (1956), Climax! (1956), and Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1957). In 1959 she played a character named Molly Malloy in two productions, Darby O'Gill and the Little People (1959) and in Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color (1959).

Soon after these two roles she gave up acting for a time, working as a lay missionary in Rhodesia, where she was Bishop Lamont's secretary for several years until she became ill, and was invalided home to Ireland.^[2]

She returned to acting in Ireland, first doing voice work on shows like Newsbeat (1964–1971), and then won the role of Godmother in Wanderly Wagon (1967–1982). Her last television role was as Mrs. Hodnott in an episode of The Irish R.M..^{[citation needed]}
