John Agar (1921-2002)

biography

Born in Chicago on January 31, 1921, B-movie legend John Agar did not harbor a desire to be an actor early on. During World War II, the 6'3" Agar had served as a physical training instructor with the U.S. Army Air Corp. By chance, he was invited to be an escort for child star Shirley Temple, then 16 years old. After a whirlwind courtship, Agar and Temple married in 1945. Shortly after the wedding, producer David O. Selznick signed Agar to a contract upon his discharge from the service. Acting lessons followed, during which Agar proved to be a quick study and showed much promise. His first film role came in the 1948 John Wayne film Fort Apache, which also featured Temple in a lead role. Agar proved to be a sturdy actor, and this film began his long association and friendship with John Wayne. The same year of Agar's film debut, he and Temple welcomed the birth of their daughter, but the marriage dissolved by the end of 1949. In the summer of 1951, Agar married his second wife, Loretta.

Although Agar's early career had shown great promise---and outlasted Temple's acting career---stories of his hard drinking spilled over into the press. Several drunk-driving arrests landed Agar in jail and nearly derailed his film career. But he somehow bounced back, and by the mid 1950s John Agar was starring in some of the best 1950s low-budget horror films, for which he's best known today.

later years

Although John Agar is best remembered for his fun horror and science fiction films, many fans will recall his numerous western roles at which he excelled. Indeed, his best films are the westerns he made with John Wayne, including She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949) and Chisum (1970). Agar also made a number of war pictures as well, such as Sands of Iwo Jima, also with John Wayne.

Despite Agar's strong performances in The Undefeated (1969; with John Wayne and Rock Hudson), Chisum (1970; with John Wayne and Christopher George), and Big Jake (1971; with John Wayne and Richard Boone), his film career ebbed. He then decided to put his acting career on hold, concentrating instead on selling real estate and insurance. In the 1980s, Agar enjoyed a resurgence in popularity, and he made a few more films. Sadly, he passed away on April 7, 2002, at age 81. He was survived by two sons, a daughter, two granddaughters, a grandson, and a great grandson.
