Harry Spear (December 16, 1921 - September 22, 2006 [Harry S. Bonner, Social Security Death Index, SSN 557-26-4992] ) was a former American child actor, notable for appearing in the "Our Gang" short subjects series from 1927 to 1929. He was a native of Los Angeles, California.

Lost "Rascal"

Spear's whereabouts after he ended his tenure in "Our Gang" remained a mystery for over half a century, but it is now known that he died of kidney cancer in San Diego, California in 2006.

Spear, whose real name was Harry Sherman Bonner, was managed by his grandmother Bertha Spear, who was also his legal guardian. ["The Little Rascals: The Life and Times of Our Gang" by Leonard Maltin and Richard Bann] Some name confusion existed for a while because of a different actor named Harry Spear, who appeared in some bit roles in several movies in the 1960s.
