Quinn O'Hara (January 3, 1941 – May 5, 2017) was a Scottish-born American actress who starred in movies such as A Swingin' Summer and The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini.
O'Hara was born Alice Jones in Edinburgh, Scotland and attended a convent school. Later, she and her mother moved to Wales, to Canada, and eventually to Long Beach, California.
She was crowned "Miss Scotland" in the Miss International Beauty Congress held in Long Beach, California. In April 1963, photographer Gene Lester introduced her to singer-actor Fabian, with whom she was an item for a time in the 1960s. In 1969, she was chosen on The Dating Game and went on a chaperoned trip to Nepal.
O'Hara was a regular on The Lively Ones, a musical program that was broadcast on NBC television in the summers of 1962 and 1963.
In 1986, she married William Kirk, some two decades her junior. She became a U.S. citizen in 1992, and later became a nurse, known as Alice Kirk.
O'Hara died at her home in Los Angeles on May 5, 2017, aged 76. Her sole immediate survivor was her husband.
