MOVERS & SHAKERS<br />
QUEEN OF TECHNICOLOR Maureen O’Hara’s Irish look was a good match for the era’s movies.<br />
REMEMBERED<br />
Fiery O’Hara Thrived<br />
During Golden Era<br />
Maureen O’Hara, the Irish<br />
actress who starred in a<br />
slew of American films<br />
including “Miracle on<br />
34th Street,” “The Quiet<br />
Man” and “The Parent Trap” and one of<br />
the last surviving stars of Hollywood’s<br />
golden age, died on Oct. 24 at home in<br />
Boise, Idaho. She was 95.<br />
With her faint Irish accent, bright red<br />
hair and air of independence, she was often<br />
described as “fiery,” but that implies she<br />
was a one-note personality; in truth, she<br />
was a real actress who displayed her versatility<br />
in such works as “How Green Was My<br />
Valley” and Carol Reed’s “Our Man in Havana.”<br />
She worked with directors ranging<br />
from Alfred Hitchcock to Chris Columbus,<br />
but is best remembered for her works with<br />
John Ford, particularly in her pairings with<br />
John Wayne, such as “Quiet Man.”<br />
In 2014, the Academy of Motion Picture<br />
Arts & Sciences presented her with an<br />
Honorary Oscar at the Governors Awards.<br />
O’Hara, looking frail in her wheelchair,<br />
read a statement of thanks, but when her<br />
onstage escort started to take the microphone,<br />
it was clear she had not lost her<br />
“fiery” streak: She held onto the mike and<br />
continued talking with the unspoken subtext,<br />
“This is my moment, and I don’t care<br />
about time constraints.”<br />
Among her other roles were film noir<br />
“A Woman’s Secret” in 1949, Western “Rio<br />
Grande,” “The Long Gray Line,” “The<br />
Wings of Eagles,” “McLintock!” and 1971<br />
Western “Big Jake.”<br />
She also starred in a version of “Mrs.<br />
Miniver” on CBS in 1960 and made other<br />
television appearances.<br />
MARTY INGELS<br />
1936-2015<br />
Marty Ingels, an actor, talent agent<br />
and industry raconteur who was married<br />
to Shirley Jones for nearly 40 years, died<br />
Oct. 21 at Tarzana Medical Center following<br />
a massive stroke. He was 79.<br />
Ingels made his mark as a comic actor<br />
in the 1960s with his zany style and rapid-fire,<br />
raspy-voiced delivery. In later years,<br />
he worked as an agent and as a voice artist<br />
in cartoons, in addition to producing.<br />
“He often drove me crazy, but there’s<br />
not a day I won’t miss him and love him<br />
to my core,” Jones said.<br />
Ingels co-starred with John Astin in<br />
the 1962 sitcom “I’m Dickens, He’s Fenster,”<br />
and logged numerous TV guest<br />
shots, notably playing Rob Petrie’s Army<br />
buddy on “The Dick Van Dyke Show.” He<br />
also appeared on “Bewitched,” “The Ann<br />
Sothern Show” and “The Addams Family.”<br />
He was seen on the big screen in supporting<br />
roles in “Armored Command” (1961)<br />
and “For Singles Only” (1968).<br />
