Malachy McCourt

Physique: Stout Build Height: 5'8" (1.73 m)

Malachy Gerard McCourt (September 20, 1931 – March 11, 2024; aged 92) was an American-Irish actor, writer and politician. McCourt appeared in several films and soap operas, including The Molly Maguires, Brewster's Millions, and Another World. He also wrote three memoirs, describing his life in Ireland and in the United States. McCourt was the 2006 Green Party candidate for governor of New York. He was the younger brother of author Frank McCourt.

In his youth, he was tall, husky with strapping good looks, overflowing charm and entertaining gift of gab. I’ve long admired McCourt as a teller of tall tales, salty jokes and personal anecdotes of growing up poor in Limerick, Ireland and later moving to New York. When I'm reading about the many women he had sex with, I always got an erection with his colorful descriptions.

Born in Brooklyn and raised in Limerick, Ireland, McCourt returned to the United States in 1952 and worked as a longshoreman, dishwasher, and laborer. Soon after, he became an actor, then established the first singles bar in America. He then began a tumultuous radio career in 1970 on WNYC, WMCA and WBAI. McCourt acted on stage, on television and in several movies, including The Brink's Job, Q, Tales from the Darkside, The January Man, Beyond the Pale, and Ash Wednesday. He appeared on several New York City-based soap operas: Another World, Ryan's Hope, Search for Tomorrow, and One Life to Live.

According to his first memoir, McCourt was a bit of a whore. And I love that. In the 2000s, when I discovered him. Malachy at this time was in his late sixties, still healthy but tending toward portly. He was big-shouldered and broad-bellied, though age had diminished his physical dominance. but I’d still like to image attending a lecture of his so I can go and sit near him. Possibly, deliberately, accidentally, trip and fall over so that my face lands in his crotch. I find it best to be subtle like that.

He died at Lenox Hill Hospital on March 11, 2024, at the age of 92. In addition to wife Diana, McCourt is survived by a daughter from his first marriage, Siobhán McCourt; a son from that marriage, Malachy Jr.; two sons from his second marriage, Conor and Cormac; a stepdaughter, Nina Galin; nine grandchildren; and one great-grandson. Malachy and Diana McCourt had lived in the same apartment on the Upper West Side of Manhattan for 59 years.

#OTD in 1930 – Birth of Frank McCourt in Brooklyn, NY. He was an American-Irish teacher and Pulitzer Prize-winning author, best known as the author of Angela’s Ashes.

Writer and educator Francis “Frank” McCourt was born on 19 August 1930, in Brooklyn, New York, as the eldest of seven children. McCourt’s father, Malachy, worked odd jobs while his mother, Angela, worked to raise the children. The family frequently struggled to make ends meet and, after a long stint of unemployment during the Depression, the McCourts returned to their native Limerick in 1934. The…

the books by frank mccourt (angela's ashes, 'tis) and his younger brother malachy mccourt (malachy mccourt's history of ireland) (this list is not conclusive) are all wild rides and hilarious and somehow incredibly depressing but roller coasters at the same time? funny, depressing roller coasters. the ones by frank, about being a poor kid from limerick, and malachy's being a collection of short biographies of major irish historical figures. both these authors are pretty neat. just sayin

Clea and Stephen Strange check out the scene at “Hell’s Bell’s”; Pierce Turner and Larry Kirwan provide the soundtrack. “One evening, I went to the Bells of Hell nightclub to hear Larry Kirwan and Pierce Turner. Jim Garvey was there, as he was a regular. Alan Cabal was there as well. Alan was an interesting character—brilliant, funny, and creative, with a lively and perceptive mind. He had a pure-hearted aspiration that was striking. But he was also one of the most self-destructive people I've known and could be an obnoxious drunk. He managed to get himself beaten up more than once. A talented writer, he later began crafting articles for The New York Press and elsewhere. On this particular night, he antagonized a fellow patron at the bar and the two of them got into a fight. Cabal needed help. I jumped on top of the other guy from behind and pulled him off Alan. Just at that moment, Bokar walked into the club to see me with my shaved head riding through the air on top of this enraged drunk. It was funny. Bokar is a martial artist. We soon became friends for life. Alan was involved with Bonnie and her husband, Chris Claremont, who also lived in Inwood Park. Chris was a high-level writer at Marvel and was writing Doctor Strange at the time. This particular evening was immortalized in Issue #38, December 1979. It features Turner & Kirwan at the Bells of Hell (called Hell's Bells), an Alan Cabal-like figure killed at the bar, a take-off on the bar fight, a Simon-like cleric visiting from the Vatican library to warn Doctor Strange, and a great magical battle in Inwood Park.” —James Wasserman, In the Center of the Fire: A Memoir of the Occult 1966-1989
