ARON KINCAID: Tall, Blond and Beachworthy

Films of the Golden Age,
Winter 2019/2020,

“I’m continually told I am too ‘glamorous’ for supporting roles. Whatever that means. Well, I’d rather die a good-looking corpse than try for a “just one of the lugs down on the corner” image.”

Clean-cut, hirsutely handsome, blue-eyed blond actor and model ARON KINCAID (1940-2011) earned a minor teen following in the mid-1960s when he became part of the frolicking “beach party” movie scene. Usually playing the snobby, self-involved foil to leading men Frankie Avalon, Tommy Kirk and Dwayne Hickman, he enjoyed several years of sand-and-surfing fun with AIP International, then went on to essay other comedic and dramatic parts on both the large and small screens. He left Hollywood behind in the 1970s, finding more fulfillment as a male model, artist and poster designer. Suffering from rheumatic fever as a child, he died of a heart ailment at age 70.
