TCM’s Summer Under the Stars Celebrates Maureen O’Hara’s 100th Birthday
So striking in appearance with her red-haired and green-eyed image, Maureen O’Hara was an Irish-born actress whose versatility allowed her to move gracefully from dramas to comedies and even period adventures.
She was a favorite of director John Ford, who cast her in five of his films, including How Green Was My Valley (1941), Rio Grande (1950) and The Quiet Man (1952). Her co-star in two Ford films was John Wayne, and their on-screen chemistry lead to several collaborations; she was also well-paired with James Stewart, with whom she appeared twice.
A collection of her movies to be shown Monday, August 17 on TCM is listed below:
