Biography:  I, Blair Whipple, first heard from Quinn O'Hara on July 27, 2005.  It was a simple thank you e-mail for the article regarding her character in "Beauties of the Beverly Hillbillies".  Since then, Quinn has become my closest friend in show business or otherwise...even a co-author!  I'm proud to be able to give her this feature, established November, 2008, in the Actors/Actresses/Performers department of Polar Blair's Den.

    The following biography comes word-for-word from her official website (2005): 
Quinn O’Hara first saw the light of day from in an elevator, going up, in Edinburgh, Scotland and she has had her "ups" and "downs" ever since.  Seriously, she was born on an elevator, etc.
   
    Over the years Quinn has had the pleasure of working with some of the greats.  Bob Hope, Red Skelton, Jerry Lewis, Jack Lemmon, John Forsythe, Henry Fonda, Basil Rathbone among others, in the comedy arena and Charles Boyer, Ben Gazarra, Raymond Burr, Jack Lemmon to name a few, on the more serious side.  Special mention to John Astin for whom she did “Prelude” which was nominated for an Academy Award.

    That lead, after much world travel, to a decision to stay in London where she "trod the boards" with Siobhan McKenna, Ireland's most revered actor, and Nigel Patrick in the West End and had the pleasure of working with Roger Moore, Micheal Billington and many other famous TV personalities.. Quinn also had the great fortune to work with the incomparable Vincent Price in "Cry of the Banshee" while there.

    In 1970 she was off to Amsterdam where she starred in Scorpio Film’s “Rubia's Jungle” for Pim De La Parra and Wim Verstappen the very talented Dutch cinema team along with, Charles Gormley, author, coincidentally a fellow Scotsman.  The movie was the Dutch entry in the 1970 Edinburgh Film Festival.

    After extensive travelling, Quinn finally became a U.S. citizen in 1992.  She regrets losing much of her memorabilia on the way.  Today, her many interests include: landscaping, painting, tennis, ballroom dancing, languages, she still enjoys Tai Chi, as well taking care of her pets, currently, cats.

    She currently keeps her acting skills sharply honed by volunteering to perform at the Writer's Guild staged readings, showcases and often works out with Joel Colman's Professional Acting Workshop which recently spawned Masiela Luscha, the daughter on "The George Lopez Show" and last summer Quinn played herself in "Me, Miami and Nancy".

    She is ready to work at the drop of a casting call- She may be reached through Doug Bennett at The Gerler Agency 323-850-7386.
