Irish McCalla died today – 6 years ago

U.S. actress Nellie Elizabeth “Irish” McCalla was born on December 25, 1928 (or 1929) in Pawnee City, Nebraska.



She said, "I couldn't act, but I could swing through the trees." [Sometimes that’s all it takes.]... Ms. McCalla died in 2002 in Tucson, Arizona.

Just found out my childhood hero, Irish McCalla, has passed away. I had the honor of meeting her in a grocery store in Prescott, Arizona back in the early 80's. How many people get to actually meet their childhood hero? She was still very beautiful and elegant. She gave me her autograph, which I still have. I will never forget her. She was and still is a Hollywood icon.
