Marianne McAndrew is an actress known for her role as Irene Molloy in the film Hello, Dolly!
Hello, Dolly! was McAndrew's first credited film role.[1] The role of Irene Molloy was given considerably more attention in the film than in earlier Broadway productions. 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. 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, Cannon and Love, American Style also appearing in Highway To Heaven in 1985 in the 2nd season episode 6 "Birds of a Feather"
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". 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 popularity with the release of WALL-E, which featured clips from the film, including a duet with McAndrew's character (but McAndrew did not do her own singing in the film, which some news outlets claimed in articles about WALL-E).
McAndrew married actor Stewart Moss in 1968, remaining married until his death in 2017.[2] They starred together in The Bat People. McAndrew has two brothers.
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.
