Early life

On January 30, 1914, Ireland was born in Vancouver, British Columbia. He was in New York City from a young age. In the 7th grade, formal education in Ireland came to an end, and he went out of his way to help his family make ends meet.

He never knew his natural father; his mother, Gracie Ferguson, an Irish vaudevillian, remarried to Michael Noone, a future actor-comedian), and another son, Michael. Noone was their last name; Ireland never knew where his last name came from. One of his jobs was at a water carnival where he competed for a dead octopus.

He was a swimmer, once competing with Johnny Weissmuller. He performed submersion stunts at a carnival and spent time as a barker.

Personal life

In tabloids of the times, occasionally Ireland's name was mentioned in connection with much younger actresses, including Natalie Wood, Barbara Payton, and Sue Lyon. When he was 45, he attracted controversies by dating 16-year-old actress Weld. On the set of Queen Bee (1955), Ireland had an affair with co-star Joan Crawford. Ireland and Crawford co-starred in William Castle's film I Saw What You Did a decade ago.

He has been married three times. Elaine Sheldon, his first wife, from 1940 to 1949, was his first wife, by whom he had two sons, John and Peter.

He was married to actress Joanne Dru (whose younger brother, entertainer Peter Marshall, was first known for his comedy appearance with Ireland's half-brother Tommy Noonan) from 1949 to 1957. Dru admitted to hospital with a black eye in July 1956, which she said was mistaken but that was often traced to Ireland. After being admitted to the hospital for an overdose of barbiturates, Ireland was admitted to the hospital.

The couple had over $50,000 in debt when they separated in 1957.

Ireland was married to Daphne Myrick Cameron, with whom he had a daughter named Daphne and a son named Cameron from 1962 to his death. Pete, Melissa, Jack, and Helios are his four grandchildren.

In his later years, he managed the restaurant Ireland's in Santa Barbara, California. He spent his days in the kitchen and concocted Ireland Stew, using whatever ingredients were available on a given night. He was also a regular at the restaurant's bar, greeting patrons and buying drinks for friends.

The restaurant was unprofitable. Ireland declared bankruptcy in May 1977.

Ireland died of leukemia in Santa Barbara, California, at the age of 78. He is buried at the Santa Barbara Cemetery.

At 1610 Vine Street, he was recognized for his contributions to the television industry.
