I have always thought Maureen O’Hara was one of the most beautiful and incredibly talented actresses ever. Although her memorable acting had long since won me over; it was her appeal before congress to honor John Wayne that sealed her as a “winner” with me.
Happy 85th Birthday
I just saw her in a Duke movie the other night. She had my attention in every scene.
Read all about her while the movie was on (it wasn't that such a great movie, but she captivated me whenever she was on screen).
She sounded like a great lady and was one of the Duke's best friends throughout their lives. No hanky panky implied, just a rare male-female truly platonic friendship between two great stars. Believe she married an Army Colonel and had a great 10 year marriage before he passed away. Think she resides somewhere in England.
Also a John Ford protege, so that ain't nothin' to sniff about.
One of the last great Hollywood stars before they became Hollyweird.
Happy birthday Maureen! Many happy returns!
Never mind,,, I was wrong, it was Lee Meriwether in the TV show with Buddie Ebsen.
I thought "Only the Lonely" was surprisingly good - but I am a huge sap.
The woman is pure class. She's one of my all-time favorites. I saw her on Laryy King some years ago and she just trashed Hollywood- and women who 'let themselves go'.
Hey, cool, she shares my birthday!
She's the #1 beauty in my book! Thanks for posting this!
Happpy B-day Maureen!
