Maureen O'Hara, Actress of Hollywood's Golden Age, Dies at 95.

So sad. Thanks, Maureen, and rest well.

She's one of my favorites. She did several DVD and blu-ray commenataries very late in life, very recently. So I feel like I know her from those long talks while watching the same movie.

I considered the last of the breed, of the classic stars I love. She was the one that highest for me on the sliding scale of "favorite" and "still alive."

I'd say Olivia de Havilland and Kirk Douglas are our strongest links with the past now -- no one else that I can think of that's a bigger star from further back.

RIP.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

R.I.P., Ms. O'Hara.

"I never realized how ugly I am because you're so beautiful." And she was.



1939 was probably the greatest year for movies and she had a lot to do with it as Esmerelda. One of my favorites.

They are the only ones that come to mind.

RIP

My wife and I started naming the movies she did that we both loved. It's quite a long list. RIP Ms. O'Hara.

RIP.

The Quiet Man.....enough said.....RIP.

Another good redhead done gone.

In 1963, my mom took my siblings and me to see McLintock! . I don't remember much about the movie except for the fight scene and Ms. O'Hara's
flaming hair.

Rest In Peace.

I have the blu-ray, and Maureen did a commentary track for it recently -- her mind was super sharp and it made the film more enjoyable hearing all the behind the scenes stuff.

That film is one of the most personal to John Wayne -- his character shares all sorts of conservative philosophies about family, money, etc. that seem to emanate from the Duke.
