Richard Ireland

Richard Ireland was perhaps the first of his kind to pioneer the demonstration of psychic phenomena on television, starting in the early 1960s, on programs such as Joe Pyne, Alan Burke, and the Steve Allen show. (see video:Link to video.)
Richard Ireland was popularly known as the "psychic to the stars" in the 1970s and was a close friend and advisor to the legendary Mae West. Additionally, he was associated with such personalities as Darryl F. Zanuck (founder of Twentieth Century Fox), actress Amanda Blake, actor Glenn Ford, and actor David Janssen. There is also evidence that Ireland was personal friends with former president Dwight D. Eisenhower and his wife Mamie Eisenhower. He founded the University of Life Church in Phoenix, Arizona, and served there until his death in 1992. In addition to his psychic capacity, Richard Ireland was also a medium. (See: Mediumship.) Above all else, he would most likely want to be remembered for his belief in God and an afterlife—as he would frequently say, "There is no death and there are no dead."
Richard Ireland is referenced in a book authored by his son Mark Ireland entitled Soul Shift, released on July 15, 2008. He is also mentioned in , by Cullen Dorn, scheduled for release in the fall of 2008. In 1970, Richard Ireland authored a biography called The Phoenix Oracle, which is currently out of print. He is also referenced in a book entitled Mae West on Sex, Health and ESP. Lastly, Ireland's name appears in magazines, including an article entitled "Sixth Sense," in the April 1971 issue of Playboy, and Searching for the Soul, published in the June 23, 1967, issue of Time.
