"I've actually had them in my possession for the last year and we've been slowly working on them to bring out."

Schaumburg said they have a variety of items at different price points.

A comment Maureen made about sexual harasment in 1945 has been unearthed and she's getting a lot of praise from women's groups.

“I am so upset with it that I am ready to quit Hollywood. It’s got so bad I hate to come to work in the morning. I’m a helpless victim of a Hollywood whispering campaign. Because I don’t let the producer and director kiss me every morning or let them paw me they have spread word around town that I am not a woman — that I am a cold piece of marble statuary. I guess Hollywood won’t consider me as anything except a cold hunk of marble until I divorce my husband, give my baby away and get my name and photograph in all the newspapers. If that’s Hollywood’s idea of being a woman I’m ready to quit now.”

She turns 90 today. I hope she's doing well. I don't think she's made any public appearances in a few years.

Found some pictures from LIFE magazine of Maureen and her daughter Bronwyn in 1961.

Sheriff's Office authorities have confirmed the identity of a man shot in the chest at the front door of his Scottsdale home Wednesday night.

Authorities said 38-year-old Conor FitzSimons was shot near 136th and Rio Verde drives just before 10 p.m.

The suspect apparently knocked at the victim's door and asked to borrow a cordless phone to make a phone call.

When FitzSimons got the phone and walked back to the door, he was shot by the suspect, according to the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office.

According to a family friend, the victim is the grandson of Hollywood actress Maureen O'Hara.

When asked about FitzSimmons' relationship with O'Hara, a neighbor, who did not wish to be identified, said, "I had seen her one time in the backyard and you know it was kind of funny."

Jim LeDune of Jiminey Kricket Pest Control said he's known and worked for FitzSimons for 10 years.

Detectives and Scottsdale police surrounded the lavish home for hours.

"I'm just shocked. My heart just goes out to him because he's been a customer and friend for a very long time," said LeDune.

Detectives do not have a description of the armed suspect, but searched a wooded area near the property.

It's unclear whether the shooting was random or if FitzSimons was targeted. He was airlifted to a local hospital in serious condition.

LeDune said FitzSimons recently added a fence to his property following a break-in at his home.

"He had some extra rod iron fence put up," added LeDune who said FitzSimons was well liked. "I don't know that anyone ever disliked him."

FitzSimons, according to LeDune, told him he was about to start working at a North Scottsdale beauty salon.

That was what I saw. Thanks.

I thought I saw a post a few weeks back that her LA home was for sale. Can someone direct me to it?
