biography
Born Norman Neale Williams II in Los Angeles on June 15, 1940, handsome actor Aron Kincaid enjoyed a lengthy career as an actor and artist. As a child growing up in
southern California, his early life was marred by the death of his Army Air Force father, whose plane was shot down during World War II. Kincaid began painting with
oils while still a child; by happenstance, when he was ten years old his mother sold his portrait of film noir actress Viveca Lindfors for $100 in art supplies. He
developed a taste for acting as a teenager, and his first film was an hour-long 8mm color/sound film that he produced, directed, and acted in titled The Fall of
Nineveh (1957), shot while he was a high school student in Oakland. After graduation, Kincaid enrolled at UCLA, majoring in cinematography with a minor in the
humanities. An admirer of Cecil B. DeMille, Kincaid was offered an opportunity to work with the great director. However, DeMille's death in January 1959 occurred
before Kincaid was finished with his college studies.

Kincaid is a beekeeper in a scene at the beginning of the film. He can also be spotted in Stanley Kubrick's epic adventure Spartacus (1960; with Kirk Douglas and Laurence Olivier) as Olivier's standard-bearer. After being spotted in a stage production the following year, Kincaid was signed by Universal in 1961 for the series Bachelor Father (1957-1962) as young lawyer Warren Dawson, the love interest of Noreen Corcoran. A few years later, he would work with Corcoran again in the Paramount beach flick The Girls on the Beach (1965; with Lana Wood and Sheila Bromley). His career was briefly interrupted upon joining the Coast Guard in 1963, but after his initial tour was up, he landed starring roles in two beach movies inspired by the success of American International's popular Beach Party series. Released by Paramount, both The Girls on the Beach (1965) and Beach Ball (1965; with Edd Byrnes and Chris Noel) proved to be popular entries in the genre and helped Kincaid secure a seven-year contract with AIP, which he signed in late 1964. |
