    "THE QUIET MAN" / O'Hara & Wayne, one of The Best Movies ever made..watch it every St. PATRICK'S DAY along with cabbage, potatoes, carrots & corned beef! Maureen O'Hara & John Wayne is/were/was THE BEST COUPLE EVER. She was so beautiful it would steal your breath. She had "pluck", guts, unspoiled, & never complained. A True hero for women to TRY to live up to. God bless you, Maureen!!!

    Maureen was part of a class of actors that has seeped away over the years and can never be replaced. Thanks Jerry.

      Classy actors and actresses still exist, but are hard to find and rarely get jobs in the Harvey Weinstein style Hollywood is today. What a shame that filth has to win out over class... such was the life of Christ too.

      She is in a very special class of people which I would include her great friend John Wayne. The socialist actors today couldn’t even stand in their shadow they are a disgrace to this country. Despicable.

    One story to add to Jerry's: When working with John Candy (the star) he noticed how the producers gave Maureen a small trailer while his was robust. John, having the deepest respect for Maureen insisted that she be given the honor she is due. The producers, feeling ashamed brought in another large trailer for her.

    I was just a young boy in 1970 when I saw Maureen O’Hara on film for the first time, and (apparently) said to my mother: “She’s the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.” My mother, another Irish beauty, agreed. I was completely smitten and would remain so. She was a goddess.

Also Spencer's Mountain was a great one with Mr. Fonda. Her mom, her & all of her sisters were beautiful women. I've learned so much about her & her family that I never knew until now. It won't make any difference in my life, learning so much about these amazing folks, I grew up watching. It does make me feel better though, & that's all that matters to me.

    A classic beauty gets the classic Jerry Skinner biography. You always have such a gentle, respectful way of doing these. Maureen seems to have been a woman and actor worthy of respect.

    Even as a young boy, I found Mz.O'Haras' looks quite pleasing. Talented actress , always a good performance, from what I've seen. Thanks for another interesting mini biography. I especially like the fact that you don't try to hide your regional accent. Your vocal qualities and accent make your narration all the more real to me. Remind me Jerry, where do you hail from? I live in West Virginia and it's a state of many accents. I appreciate all of the work that you do to bring us these great videos. Respect and Blessings from WV. 🙏

    Very interesting video Mr. Skinner. I remember her most from her roles beside John Wayne in McClintock and Big Jake and The Quiet Man. My grandpa was a huge John Wayne fan so alot of the older movies that I grew up watching were Jobn Wayne movies.

      I was just reading his daughter had recently died of an apparent suicide and he’d just completed an aggressive and unsuccessful round of chemotherapy. Several of his friends thought it was completely in character for him to take charge of his death. So it’s not so far fetched to make that assumption. But we’ll never know.

    Only The Lonely is maybe my favorite John Candy movie, because of her. Sometimes you wanted to slap the crap out of her, she played the mother role so well. But I thought she and Anthony Quinn were wonderful as the star crossed lovers. They were as big of a romantic story as Candy and Sheedy. That movie was pure gold.
    It's amazing, when watching this video, how many of her movies I now remember seeing growing up, going to the theater, every Saturday night in my home town. There are very few, if any, actors/actresses of her caliber anymore.

    I always enjoyed your presentations of the people who have passed, you go into detail which is a good thing. Maureen O'Hara was an awesome lady like a queen with a total genuine living. She never tarnished her name or anyone it seems of the people who worked with her. She worked well with John Wayne and all of their movies I love especially Quiet Man. She commanded respect in a genuine way and got it whch is rare. She was a classy lady and Jerry you are a classy guy you tell all about these people in a soothing voice and just genuine. Thank you

    thank you so much for this video on the beautiful and talented Maureen O'Hara . I remember watching all her movies as a very young child . My dad and mum absolutely adored this wonderful actress. Both my parents thought Maureen was stunning in her beauty. I was too young to appreciate that at the time . However as I got older ... boy were they right . and what a fine human being she was too.
