I've never heard of ETTA
Keith, if you don't tell me that is ETTA, I do not guess!
Etta was the Irish lady strand-in for Maureen.

Etta was the Irish lady strand-in for Maureen.
I did not know the detail ...
Thank you Keith
PS. Do you have another photo of Etta?
Romy have you joined this group?
Save The Quiet Man Cottage

Sorry, I'll do ...
Mary Kate is back in Cong & what a wonderful welcome she got from everyone!

Here is a photo of me with John Wayne's daughter Marissa Wayne & his granddaughter Laura Munoz-Bottini taken in Cong yesterday evening.
What a success to see Maureen and the lovely family of the Duke.
Some people are lucky to live near Cong ...
Alas, for me! Perhaps during a long trip?
Interesting on re-reading "Tis Herself" that Maureen missed out on Friendly Persuasion because of Ford and The King & I because Rodgers & Hammerstein didn't want her. Would have been two interesting roles to see her in those movies.
Great link may2 thanks for posting
Yes, May, enjoyed it also, to bad those old videos have deteriorated as bad as they have.

Cast of The Quiet Man to reunite
By Louise Roseingrave
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2011
A REUNION of the original cast of The Quiet Man takes place next month
with the arrival of John Wayne’s family in Ireland.
Screen legend Maureen O’Hara will welcome her Quiet Man co-star Patrick Wayne, 72, the son of John Wayne, to Glengarriff to collect a prestigious award on his father’s behalf.
The Hollywood star’s daughter Aissa and granddaughter Jennifer are due to fly to Ireland to receive the Maureen O’Hara Foundation Legacy & Excellence Award alongside Patrick on behalf of their father.
Patrick featured in the 1952 movie as a child and the awards event will be the first time in many years that the two cast members will be in Ireland together.
Maureen O'Hara Excellency Awards
About 300 guests are expected to attend the presentation ceremony, which takes place at the Maritime Hotel in Bantry on October 1.
Highlights of John Wayne’s acting career will be presented in a photo montage before his family members are presented with the award on his behalf.
"This is a major coup, it’s the first time in many years that two members of the original cast, Maureen and Patrick will be in Ireland at the same time," Frank McCarthy, chief executive of the Maureen O’Hara Foundation said.
Wayne’s family will spend one week in Ireland, taking in Dublin, West Cork and Ashford and Cong in Co Mayo during their trip.

I will eventually copy this thread to the dedicated Sons Of The Saddle- Patrick Wayne
For those who live far away, I hope there will be many photos of this great event ...
Hi Romy - I am hoping we can again be friends.
I heard yesterday that Patrick Wayne was ill, but as far as I know Aissa and her daughter Jennifer will still be there. In fact it should be getting under way as I type this.
I will be receiving lots of photos from lots of different sources and I will definitely share them with you all. I am also hoping you have a link to some of your great video montages on Maureen. They were the best and the most professional I have ever seen on the Internet.

Thank you for such touching memories ...
Thank heavens for Mike Ward! He also supplied photos to me. I did a newsletter, put a couple up on the Maureen O'Hara Facebook official page, as well as the website. It was a very successful evening in Bantry. Do so wish I could have been there. Have corresponded with both Aissa Wayne and her daughter, Jennifer. They are such nice people! I'll contact Brian Downs later in the week when he returns to Iowa (the John Wayne Birthplace Museum curator). He also attended the event.
Oh yes, Romy and whomever wants to contact me my address is [email protected]
