Maureen O'Hara

Maureen O'Hara is a fiery Irish gal. Flashing green eyes and a flame of auburn hair. She was in her element in The Quiet Man and she was supreme in McLintock, a film where she displayed her glorious sense of comedy and created one of my very favourite cinematic scenes, the scene where she is chased through the town in her underwear with John Wayne in hilarious pursuit and when he finally catches her, which is what O'Hara's character was most looking forward to, Wayne puts her across his knee and spanks her in front of the whole town... Brilliant! That scene taught me something about women and that is down to Maureen O'Hara's talent and honesty. In the Rare Breed we see Maureen O'Hara with James Stewart and two powerful actors giving performances in a powerful battle of wills. I love the film. It is a true classic because of the great writing and tremendous acting. In 1941 she played a Welsh girl in How Green Was My Valley with Walter Pidgeon. It is an outstanding film with an outstanding actress. I'm Welsh and live near the location for the setting of the film and, belive me, Maureen O'Hara nailed all the colours of the local characters... If you were to ask me which is my favourite Maureen O'Hara film, I couldn't answer, because I love them all...

The Hollywood Movie History

The greats of the silent movie period included Rudolf Valentino, Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Laurel & Hardy and a whole host of stars whose talents live on in the many characters they portrayed. Jean Harlow is perhaps the most successful of the stars who began their career in the silent era and whose star continued in ascendancy into the talkies. The western film genre has been the birth place for many great film stars, not least of which is the Great John Wayne. Blockbuster movies dominated the 80's and 90's with Silvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis competing for the title greatest action hero of them all... and then Matt Damon brought Ludlum's character Jason Bourne to life all too vividly and a whole new action hero was born.
And, although great women's roles are still all to rare, Vivien Leigh's Scarlet O'Hara in Gone With The Wind, Marilyn Monroe's Sugar Kane in Some Like It Hot, Grace Kelly as Tracy Lord in High Society, Michelle Pfeifer in the Baker Boys and Julie Roberts in Erin Brockovich are just a few great and memorable perfomances I have experience by women in the movies...
