Marianne Christine McAndrew (born November 11, 1942) is an actress known for her role as Irene Molloy in the film Hello, Dolly![1]
Career
Hello, Dolly! was McAndrew's first credited film role.[2]
The role of Irene Molloy was given considerably more attention in the film than in earlier Broadway productions.[3] Hello, Dolly! earned McAndrew two Golden Globe nominations in 1969; Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress – Motion Picture and the since discontinued Golden Globe Award for New Star of the Year – Actress, as well as generally good reviews.[1] The critical praise, along with the fact that she had landed a fourth billed role in a major movie musical with a big star in the lead as her first credited film role, led some to predict a bright film career for McAndrew. She landed a starring (second billed) role in her next film (The Seven Minutes). By 1971, she had made appearances in popular TV shows including Hawaii 5-0, Mannix, and Love, American Style.[4]
One notable later film role was her co-starring role in The Bat People, with her husband Stewart Moss. The film was widely panned, but is still somewhat known today as a "bad film".[5] The Bat People was also her last film released in theaters; she has only worked in television since its release. Her only other later role of particular note is her role of Doris Williams in Growing Up Brady, a TV film about the popular show. McAndrew, along with everything else related to the film Hello, Dolly! experienced something of a resurgence in notoriety with the release of WALL-E, which featured clips from the film, including a duet with McAndrew's character (although McAndrew did not do her own singing in the film, which some news outlets claimed in articles about WALL-E).[6]
Personal life
McAndrew married actor Stewart Moss in 1968.[7] Six years after they got married, they starred together in The Bat People. McAndrew has two brothers.[3]
Awards and honors
Hello, Dolly! earned McAndrew two Golden Globe nominations in 1969; Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress – Motion Picture and the since discontinued Golden Globe Award for New Star of the Year – Actress[1]
