Born January 3, 1941 in
Edinburgh, Scotland, UK.
She had a small, but memorable part in this episode as the sexy,
bubbly, bimbo weather girl Jethro and Granny watch on TV. It
would have been neat if the writers could've worked her character into
more episodes.
UPDATE! While looking through my
e-mails on July 27, 2005, I was pleasantly surprised to hear from Ms.
Quinn O'Hara herself! How wonderful! She has a fantastic
website with rare info and pictures, and she was kind enough to grant
me use of this information for her entry in "Beauties of the Beverly
Hillbillies". You can visit her very own website by clicking HERE. The information in
green below comes word for word from her website.
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 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.
