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.[1]

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.[2][3]

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.[4]

In 1986, she married William Kirk,[1] some two decades her junior. She became a U.S. citizen in 1992, and later became a nurse, known as Alice Kirk.[5]

O'Hara died at her home in Los Angeles on May 5, 2017, aged 76. Her sole immediate survivor was her husband.[5][2]
