With TCM, AMC, and the Encore Western Channel showing great films, particularly westerns, I prefer those over the current line-up of cheaply produced TV programs.

Judging from the last interview I saw her give with Gerry Kelly I think she may not like interviews too much.
GSP I never thought of Maureen in Hondo or Rio Bravo but reckon she could have improved Rooster Cogburn instead of Kate Hepburn and would have added the final cherry
if she had starred in The Shootist instead of Betty Bacall.
Anyway Gerry charm her as best you can. Hopefully you have Irish ancestry mention the success of the Irish cricketers in the West Indies and find out as much as you can for us.
This could be one of her last interviews.

I appreciate ytour comment about Maureen O'Hara in the "The Shootist", instead of Bacall. I would have preferred M.O. to Bacall as the leading lady. I thought Bacall was good, but I think M.O. could have given the character more edge and flavor. Plus, her firey hair would have matched Ron Howard's red better!! -

Our new freund von Deutschland apparently speaks/reads English better than he/she writes it. Birthdate was December 18, 1962 in Monchengladbach.
I took a college course in German while stationed there in the early Seventies and just barely passed. It's a hard language to learn.
What threw me more than anything else were the genders der, die, das, which correspond to the English he, she and it. To an English speaker like me, there seemed to be no rhyme or reason for designating an object by gender.
When I'd had a few German beers (much stronger than American brew), I could rattle it off pretty well. Which is why every time my (German-born) wife and I went to see her folks, my mother-in-law always offered me a beer first thing.
Although we don't have gender based definite articles and modifiers, we do randomly assign genders to some nouns. As an example, the U.S. is referred to as a female (despite Uncle Sam). -
I'll add my Y.O.B. It's 1958. The second year of the Edsel. I was born the week, if not the day, Richard Nixon got pelted with tomatoes in Guatamala. Anyone wanna guess?

It was filmed at:
Big Bear Lake, California
Branson, Missouri
Cedar Lake, Big Bear Valley, San Bernardino National Forest, California
Hollyweird usually does a poor job of going from book to the big screen, they really abort the Stephen King books.
If you ever want filming locations, or just more info on a movie, check out imdb.com for all sorts of movie information. Just ignore the comments, there seem to be a lot of kids with nothing to do except mess with the movies and their ratings. You can also find info out at Hollywood.com for most movies as well.
I agree absolutely with what you say about Hollywood and the King books. I remember a few years ago reading "Pet Cemetery" in one sitting, finishing about 2:30am, and not being able to get any sleep that night. A few years later when the movie came out, I almost puked at how bad and laughable it was. -
Hoo-WEE! Nice welcomes all around. Thanks, SXViper, Chester & the Mrs.
