  • Speaking of Maureen O'Hara . . .

    Thanks for the site, Bill. I heard just about all the clips, and enjoyed hearing Maureen's voice. It's been a while and she sounds very graceful in her interview with June Beck. What is the word about any Duke projects in her view? Mainly talking about the museum.


    Cheers B)

  • Speaking of Maureen O'Hara . . .

    I have been on your web site for a long time for at least 4 or 5 years. I go to this site and enjoy it very much. June, I am so glad that you are on this board giving your insights Duke and the Lady. We are so glad to have an ear from the lady herself.


    You might add, a Big Happy Birthday to Ms. O'Hara. A very classy woman who has touched my heart.

  • Speaking of Maureen O'Hara . . .

    Ms. O'Hara is one of my favorite actresses, and just loved her in almost everything. I cant' think of anything she did that I didn't like. How Green Was My Valley is most excellent with a young Rodney McDowell, and Walter Pigeon. To the Shores of Tripoli with John Payne was another good movie, also with Randolph Scott.


    Of course she was really great in Miracle on 34th Street, with a young Natalie Wood, and John Payne, and a great and I would say the best Santa Clause in Edmund Gween. Also with Natalie she starred with Fred MacMurray in Father was a Fullback, and also with Betty Lynn (Thema Lou in the Andy Griffin Show {Barney Fife's girlfriend}).


    Going on, she was also great in The Parent Trap, with Brian Keith, and Halley Mills, and also The Rare Breed with James Stewart, Brain Keith, and Halley's sister Juliet Mills. Spencer's Mountain with Henry Fonda is a classic.


    Some westerns that I really enjoyed excluding movies with Duke, is Comanche Territory with MacDonald Carey, The Redhead from Wyoming with Alex Nicol, and War Arrow with Jeff Chandler.


    Who could forget her in The Black Swan with Tyrone Power, and Anthony Quinn. And her most recent release at the silver screen as she teams up with Anthony Quinn in Only The Lonely. This costars John Candy, Alley Sheedy, James Belushi, and a cameo appearance with Macuaulay Culkin.


    I do have all these movies (mainly on VHS). I have seen them all. She is one of the tops as far as I am concerned. She should have been listed as the top 50 actresses in AFI's top stars. She is definately one of them.


    Maureen, I want to wish you a very happy birthday, and you age very beautifully. Thank you for being a part of our lives in many ways. Happy 83rd pretty lady.
