Trivia

Father, with Shirley Temple, of daughter Susan Agar (Linda Susan Agar) (born on January 30, 1948).

Was one of the dozens of Hollywood celebrities who made regular weekend visits to renowned animal trainer and Hollywood animal behaviorist Ralph Helfer's Africa U.S.A. Exotic Animal Ranch in Soledad Canyon, California, to play with the animals and pitch in with the chores.

After Universal put Agar into a third horror film, Le peuple de l'enfer (1956), he became disillusioned with the studio, especially since he had to compete with Tony Curtis, Rock Hudson, George Nader and Jeff Chandler for choice leading man roles, and he left the studio.

His marriage to actress Shirley Temple started his film career in the 1940s.

In 1972 "Famous Monsters of Filmland" Magazine reported John Agar "Dead"!! Agar lived to autograph several copies of the articles.

The claim that he had done a "pink film" in Denmark was a gag. He starred in Objectif: septième planète (1962), which was shot in Denmark, by writer/producer/director Sidney W. Pink.

Interviewed in Tom Weaver's books "Interviews with B Science Fiction and Horror Movie Makers" (McFarland & Co., 1988) and "They Fought in the Creature Features" (McFarland & Co., 1995).

He has an entry in Jean Tulard's "Dictionnaire du cinéma/Les acteurs" published in Paris in 2007 by RobertLaffont/Bouquins (page 14).
