Person Biography:
Aron Kincaid, born Norman Neale Williams III on June 15, 1940, in Hollywood, California, started his life with a tragic event. His father, a Second Lieutenant with the Army Air Force, died at the age of 27 when his plane was shot down by the Nazis during World War II. Aron was sent to live with his paternal grandparents in Big Bear Lake, California.
As a child, Aron showed an early interest in art and began selling his paintings for 10 cents each. He won his first important art award at the age of 12 and continued to pursue his passion for art until his professor at the California College of Art made "corrections and additions" to his work, leading him to quit formal art training.
Aron's tall, riveting-looking physique and blond hair led him to explore acting. He wrote, produced, directed, and starred in his first amateur film, "The Fall of Nineveh," in 1957. He later enrolled at UCLA, where he made several small student films and was introduced to Roger Corman, who gave him his first professional acting job in the film "The Wasp Woman" (1959).
Aron's early success in acting led to a contract with Universal and appearances in several TV shows, including "Bachelor Father" (1957) and "Alcoa Premiere" (1961). He also appeared in several beach party films, including "The Girls on the Beach" (1965) and "Ski Party" (1965).
After a brief stint in the U.S. Coast Guard Reserves, Aron returned to Hollywood and continued his acting career, appearing in films such as "The Happiest Millionaire" (1967) and "The Proud and Damned" (1972). He also worked in several TV shows, including "The Beverly Hillbillies" (1962) and "Get Smart" (1965).
In the 1970s, Aron began to focus more on his modeling career, working with top agencies such as Sabina Models and Wilhelmina. He appeared in numerous billboards, newspaper ads, and magazines, becoming one of the top male models of the time.
In the 1980s, Aron returned to acting, appearing in films such as "Gable and Lombard" (1976) and "Brave New World" (1980). He also lent his voice to several animated projects, including "The Smurfs" (1981) and "Batman Returns" (1992).
In 1995, at the age of 55, Aron retired from the entertainment industry and devoted himself to his passion for art. He currently resides in his hunting lodge in Benedict Canyon, California, where he specializes in old Hollywood portraits and caricatures, as well as landscapes and seascapes of California and Italy.
