“Above all else, deep in my soul, I’m a tough Irishwoman.”
“She is a woman who speaks her mind and that impressed me, despite my old-fashion chauvinistic ways! She is feminine and beautiful, but there is something about her that makes her more like a man. It’s her stubbornness and her willingness to stand up to anyone — even John Ford.” – John Wayne
Because of her talent, beauty and yes, because she played with the big boys and gave as good as she got – this is for Maureen O’Hara in celebration of her 95th birthday on August 17. We love you – Big Red!
“I had always been a tomboy – I still am, at heart.”
“There’s only one woman who has been my friend over the years and by that I mean a real friend, like a man would be. That woman is Maureen O’Hara. She’s big, lusty, and absolutely marvelous definitely my kind of woman. She’s a great guy. I’ve had many friends and I prefer the company of men. Except for Maureen O’Hara.” – John Wayne
THIS IS YOUR LIFE: Maureen O’Hara
“How could you have had such a wonderful life as me if there wasn’t a God directing?”
Once upon a screen... 
Gorgeous photos of Maureen for her birthday. : ) I’m so glad she’s doing so well and enjoying a few appearances.
Thanks so much for sharing the This Is Your Life clip as well. I love wandering over to Youtube and watching the old episodes with our favorite classic stars.
I hope you’re having a great weekend!

I loved that quote from John Wayne – it sounds like SUCH a John Wayne thing to say. And great photos, too. She has been a real beauty her entire life, hasn’t she?
Sure has! 🙂
