Jack Nichol Reddish (December 2, 1926 – October 20, 1992) was an American alpine ski racer who competed in the Winter Olympics in 1948 and 1952.[1] Known as "Red Dog" during his racing days,[2] he later worked in the entertainment industry, behind the cameras in film and television.[3]

Ski racing

Born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah, Reddish grew up skiing and jumping at nearby Alta[4][5] and attended Granite High School[6] and later the University of Utah.[3] He was one of the top alpine racers from North America in the late 1940s and early 1950s, and won multiple national titles.[7][8][9] He was a three-time winner of the Snow Cup at Alta.[10][11][12][13]

Olympics

At the 1948 Winter Olympics in St. Moritz, Switzerland, he raced in all three events and finished seventh in the slalom, twelfth in the combined, and 26th in the downhill. Four years later in Norway, he was captain of the U.S. men's team and finished 14th in the downhill, 17th in the slalom, and 24th in the giant slalom. In between, he also competed for the U.S. at the World Championships in 1950, held at Aspen, Colorado, where he finished fourth in the slalom.[14][15]

Reddish served in the U.S. Navy during World War II and Korean War[16] and was inducted into the National Ski Hall of Fame in 1969.

After ski racing

Following his ski racing career, Reddish went into the film and television business, directing and producing well-known movies and TV shows.[3] He was the assistant director for the 1963 movie The Great Escape. and produced Le Mans (1971). In television, he directed an episode of The Rat Patrol called "The Delilah Raid" (aired May 1, 1967).

Personal

During his racing career, Reddish was a ski instructor at Alta[17] and afterward in 1952 at Sun Valley in Idaho,[2][12][13] where he won the downhill in the Olympic trials in March 1947 and first won the Harriman Cup (and national title in downhill) in 1948.[18] At age 27, he married 18-year-old Katherine Thalberg in Reno, Nevada in April 1954. She was the daughter of actress Norma Shearer and late producer Irving Thalberg.[19] The marriage was short-lived and Thalberg was later married to actor Richard Anderson from 1961 to 1973, then moved to Aspen and married Bill Stirling, who later became its mayor. She was a bookstore owner in Aspen and a noted political activist.[20][21][22] Reddish was later married to Jane Fisher of Salt Lake City.

He died in Salt Lake City at age 65 in 1992.
