The Queen of Technicolor has died at age 95.
Here she is, with long-time pal John Wayne, in a scene from The Quiet Man.
Ah, the old days are gone forever, sure an' they are.

"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
As sure as that wild goose never laid a tame egg. RIP.
ReplyDeleteMy mother was a brunette version of Maureen in Quiet Man. She was certainly a fine actress (well, both of them!).
An amazing scene from Hunchback in which Maureen did her own stunts at great risk:

I saw The Quiet Man as a child. It inspired our family's never-realized desire to visit Ireland some day. Of course, that Ireland no longer exists.
ReplyDeleteThe Quiet Man is a film I never tire of watching. Maureen O'Hara is an actress I never tired of watching.
ReplyDeleteBy all accounts, Maureen O'Hara was as amazing off-screen as on. She had a fiery, strong, independent spirit and was always classy. John, Jimmymust have given her a doozie of a homecoming. Thankfully, we have her silver gifts to remember her. God, please continue to bless Maureen!
