	[Deathwatch] John Agar, Actor, 81
		John Agar, Shirley Temple ex-husband, dies at 81 April 9, 2002 Posted: 9:36 AM EDT (1336 GMT) http://www.cnn.com/2002/SHOWBIZ/Movies/04/09/obit.agar.ap/index.html LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- John Agar, the Air Force sergeant who married Shirley Temple and became an actor, mostly in Westerns and war movies, until alcoholism damaged both his marriage and his career, has died.
		Agar was serving as a physical training instructor at March Field at Riverside, California, in 1945 when a friend arranged for him to escort Temple to a Hollywood party given by her boss, David O. Selznick.
		Agar continued acting in Westerns such as "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon" and "Along the Great Divide," and war movies "Sands of Iwo Jima" and "Breakthrough." His divorce from Temple and his alcoholism, which led to arrests for drunk driving, lowered his appeal.

	Classic Images: John Agar
		In 1945 John Agar was a tall, handsome, 24-year-old physical education instructor at March Field during the waning years of World War II.
		In the mid-1950s, Agar began making low budget science fiction and horror stories, a new genre for him and the one for which he is best remembered.
		John Agar’s nearly 50 movie credits include such non-sci fi films as I Married a Communist (1949), The Magic Carpet with Lucille Ball (1951), Along the Great Divide with Kirk Douglas (1951), The Golden Mistress (1954), and Johnny Reno with Dana Andrews and Jane Russell (1966).

	John Agar (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		John Agar was one of a promising group of leading men to emerge in the years after World War II.
		Agar was the son of a Chicago meatpacker and never aspired to an acting career until fate took a hand in 1945, when he met Shirley Temple, the former child star and one of the most famous young actresses in Hollywood.
		Agar seemed destined to follow in the same downward career path already blazed by such failed mid-'40s leading men as Sonny Tufts, when a film came along at Universal-International in 1955 that gave his career a second wind.

	Rotten Tomatoes Forums - R.I.P. John Agar
		John Agar was on the front pages of newspapers world-wide in 1945 when he married Shirley Temple, the most famous of Hollywood's child stars, who in 1938 had been cinema's top box-office attraction.
		Agar's mother had moved to California in 1942 after her husband's death, and one of her close friends was a neighbour of the Temples, the actress Zasu Pitts.
		Agar was a young lieutenant again in the war film Breakthrough (1950), a naïve young man killed by Communists in The Woman on Pier 13 (1950) and played a supporting role in another western, Raoul Walsh's Along the Great Divide (1951).

	John Agar at Brian's Drive-In Theater
		Agar proved to be a sturdy actor, and this film began his long association and friendship with John Wayne.
		John Ford's classic frontier epic about an isolated Cavalry outpost and the men and women who live there stars Henry Fonda as the fort's stubborn new commander, whose rigorous stance puts him at odds with his men and leads to war with the Apache, and John Wayne as his veteran second-in-command.
		John Wayne is a peace-minded cattle baron in a territory riddled with corrupt officials.

	John Agar
		Born in Chicago, Agar was the oldest of four children of a meatpacker.
		Agar married Temple later that year, at a lavish Selznick-produced affair attended by most of Hollywood's elite.
		Even his second marriage, in 1951, to fashion model Loretta Combs, was tainted by Agar's drinking problem: The clerk at the Las Vegas courthouse where he was attempting to get a marriage license sent the couple home so that Agar could sober up.

	Zontar, the Thing from Venus (1966) and It Conquered the World (1956)
		John Agar is Curt Taylor, the head of the project, and he is annoyed to no end by the intrusion of his friend, Keith, who is some sort of brilliant physicist.
		Agar misses, and the injectapod goes on its wobbly way to the neck of the General, who then declares martial law, sending all the military personnel at the base on a forced march to counter the "Communist uprising".
		It's quite easy to visualize Agar walking about the city with a bundle of sticks under his arm, to throw at anything he "doesn't like." Peter Graves played this character in the Corman version, and his hero is on a more even keel, seeming much more reasonable in the early portion of the story.

		John Agar plays a contentious surrogate son to Wayne, though the relationship is hardly the stuff of Red River.

		John Agar's pudding faced performance doesn't do justice to a complex role, the son of a career soldier who tries to escape the burden of family tradition, yet who eventually embraces that tradition.

		Wayne plays Sgt. John Marion Stryker and since Wayne's real name was Marion Michael Morrison there seems to be an additional level of identification between actor and character here, while the power of the name "Stryker" is obvious.
		The recruit who absorbs all of this venom the most is young Peter Conway (John Agar), whose father was Stryker's Commanding Officer at Guadalcanal.
		The old man felt his son was too soft to be a Marine (he reads books and went to college) and the kid resents the particular interest Stryker is taking in his training.

		John Agar a B-grade talent, but a Grade-A human being.(TICKET)(Primal Screen)(Column)
		I was completing a magazine assignment about recovering alcoholics in show business when, inevitably, I got around to John Agar.
		While there was certainly nothing wrong with being Shirley Temple, or with being married to her, it is worth noting that, in 1945, when Agar met her at the altar, such a thing was almost unthinkable.

		I also felt John Agar did a good job with a somewhat more difficult role than he was usually given.
		I also like some of the visual tricks used by Haas; in particular, a scene where Agar and Moore talk, their bodies lit but their faces in darkness, caught my attention.
		Still, the best scene easily is the introduction, in which Sir Cedric Hardwicke ("quite a good actor") climbs a flight of stairs, signs a bunch of autographs, and introduces himself as the devil.
