Gladys McConnell （October 22, 1905 – March 4, 1979） was an American film actress and aviator.
Gladys McConnell was born in Oklahoma City, Indian Territory （now Oklahoma） but spent much of her youth in Salt Lake City.
She was the daughter of insurance executive William Marshall McConnell and his wife, Harriet （née Sharp）, and she had an older sister named Hazel.
McConnell attended Hollywood High School and Hollywood School for Girls in addition to schools in Spokane, Washington, and Hood River, Oregon.
McConnell's interest in acting emerged when she accompanied her sister on a visit to Universal Pictures, where Hazel was to have a screen test.
Citing her skill with horses, McConnell went to the casting director's office to ask for an opportunity to appear in Westerns, and she eventually gained the kinds or roles that she sought.
McConnell began acting in two-reel comedies and Westerns for Universal in 1924.
Her film career lasted about four years from the late silent to early sound era.
She sometimes used the professional name Gladys Morrow.
One of her first parts came in The Devil Horse （1926）.
The film featured Rex the Wonder Horse, a stallion featured in at least 15 films.
She starred with Harry Langdon in Three's A Crowd （1927） and in The Chaser （1928）, as Langdon's talkative wife.
She broke ties with the Fox Film Company over differences over her roles, choosing to freelance instead.
She also made serials for Pathé Exchange.
