Maureen O'Hara died in her sleep at her home in Ireland today. She was 95 years old

[GreyFriar]

Fox News got her age right, my clumsey typing fingers got it wrong in the headline but right in the body. 95 years.

It would be funny if it was intentional, but it was just a typo. And Maureen was not touchy about her age.

No wonder you’r lonesome up there, you don’t speak our language—LOL!

One could make the case that there are only a handful of “faces” in Hollywood and everyone looks similar to a few other great actors through the years. I’ve noticed that Kevin Bacon looks like Nick Nolte and a little like Gary Busey. Jodie Foster looks like that chick in those Twilight movies and she looks like Helen Hunt. Channing Tatum looks like Josh Hartnett and on and on.

Maureen O'Hara dies at age 89 She was 95.

My wife pointed out that there is a time zone difference between here and Ireland. :)

Lovely photo from the Quiet Man, of course.

You are correct.

It takes certain bone structure and proportions to be ‘beautiful’. Plenty of actors do fine without those features, but it’s tougher.

What a grand lady! Saw a interview with her about a year ago on TCM. She was wheelchair bound. She loved John Wayne and said she hated most of the leading men of the day she worked with. RIP Miss O'Hara.

Aww. Was just watching her last night in Hunchback of Notre Dame.

RIP.

Best Parent Trap.

A beautiful woman. I have many of her movies, including some of her not so well known ones on DVD.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Always loved her movies. Especially with The Duke.

[Busko]

One of the Greats!! May she rest in peace!

Yeah, about 100 years.

IMHO - probably the best movie ever. I still get laughs when I pull out my little notebook and tell somebody I am putting them on my list.

And she was my idea of what a woman was supposed to be. The perfect foil for John Wayne.

Great photo. Thank you for posting it. My favorite role is her as the Colonel’s wife in Rio Grande. Of course I spent time in the Army in a Cavalry Squadron (3-12 Cav)

[GreyFriar]

And the Hunchback of Notre Dame was on TCM this morning. I had forgotten her being in “Parent Trap” with Brian Keith and Haley Mills.
