Actress Maureen O'Hara

What's St. Patrick's Day without a tribute to Maureen O'Hara? :-D


Maureen O'Hara has been one of the most ubiquitous actresses in movies and television. The Black Swan, Miracle On 34th Street, and The Quiet Man (in which John Wayne plays an Irish-American who returns to his ancestral homeland) are among her many movie credits.

She's long been known for her friendly rapport with men. Asked what he thought of Maureen O'Hara, John Wayne replied, "Helluva guy." :-D

Born in Ireland, she became a naturalized American citizen in 1946.

Though she's retired, Maureen O'Hara is still going strong. She turns ninety years old five months from today.
