Very little is known about Jac McAnelly. The earliest items among his papers are photographs taken in the early 20th century
in Brooklyn; other materials in the collection indicate that the family later lived in Bloomington, Illinois. The Internet
Movie Database (imdb.com) indicates that McAnelly worked in films and television, primarily in production and costume design,
from approximately 1973 until at least 1987. The films on which he worked include
Your Three Minutes Are Up (1973),
Devil Times Five and
Big Bad Mama (1974),
Crazy Mama (1975),
Lady in Red (1979),
Rodeo Girl (1980),
Hospital Massacre and
The Executioner's Song (1982),
Repo Man (actor, 1984),
Flicks and
Voyage of the Rock Aliens (costume designer and actor, 1987); the television programs include two episodes of
Alice (1976 and 1977),
The Winds of Kitty Hawk (1978),
Rodeo Girl (1980),
The Patricia Neal Story (1981),
A Summer to Remember (1985), and
