Donald "Donnie" Roan Dunagan (born August 16, 1934) is an American former child actor and retired United States Marine Corps major. He is best known for portraying the young son of Baron Frankenstein in Son of Frankenstein and for providing the voice of young Bambi in Bambi (1942).
He served in Vietnam as a combat Marine Officer and was highly decorated. He never let people know about his acting gigs before joining the Marines.
Donnie Dunagan was descended from the same Dunagan clan that migrated into Georgia (Hall County)around 1790, and later into Texas.
William Dunagan was born in 1670 in Limerick, Ireland, and i believe that this is the beginning of our American connection to Ireland and the family branch by which my family today descended from. William Dunagan is my 7th great grandfather. He was born in Limerick, Ireland, and would have been a young man about the time of the siege of Limerick in 1691. After the Irish defeat in Limerick by the British, the Dunagan family lost everything and many left for the colonies in America soon thereafter.
Thomas Dunagan, the 2nd Earl of Limerick, and my 8th great grandfather was Williams father.
We do not know William Dunagan’s wife’s name but we know that he had the following children:
William Dunagan born 10 January 1702 in Limerick, Ireland
Thomas Dunagan born 16 June 1706 in Limerick, Ireland, died AFT 1782 in Surry County, NC
Timothy Dunagan born 1715 in Essex County, VA, died 1752 in NC
William Dunagan’s son Thomas is my 6th great grandfather and so begins our Dunagan family line in America.
