Donal is alive. He is my great uncle and lives in Paris, France. Despite multiple attempts to get this information changed on IMDB, neither my mother nor my sister or I have had any luck. I saw him last March in a trip to Paris. He thinks it is hilarious that everyone thinks he is dead.
I can’t believe it! I hope it’s true…
Interesting ! Hope he is still with us 
.
WTF!
Write his name in wikipedia and you get two choices.
Donald Eugene O’Brien (born 1923), U.S. district judge
Donald O’Brien (actor) (1933–2003), French-born Italian film and television actor
Obviously it’s the bottom one, notice a 2003 death year.
So, click on it
He’s now alive again but born September 15, 1930.
That is really bizarre; this O’Brien is obviously a slippery fellow (good actor though, as seen in Run Man, Run).
I thought he was really good in Mannaja and a few other films.
I wonder where the rumour about his death started then if he’s really alive. He had a great face for westerns.
Not sure. But when an actor no longer stars in much or anything after a period of time sometimes you assume they are dead…or at least I do.
Glad the man is still alive.

Director Mario Lanfranchi (Sentenza di morte) is still alive too!
Even I am still alive
Last time I checked, I’m still breathing too. Hoooooraaaay!!
I’ve just had to reanimate myself, my heart ceased to beat, not a big deal though.
This is great news. Wasn’t there a rumor spread a few years ago about George Hilton’s death?But then he made a video on youtube, saying he was alive.
Great news at the time that !
