#OTD in 2015 – Death of actress and singer, Maureen O’Hara, born Maureen FitzSimons in Ranelagh, Co Dublin.

Ar deis Dé go raibh a hanam. The famously red-headed O’Hara was known for playing fiercely passionate but sensible heroines, and often worked with director John Ford and longtime friend John Wayne. She was one of the last surviving stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood. In her memoir ‘Tis Herself: An Autobiography, she writes, “I have often said that The Quiet Man is my personal favourite of all…

Behind The Scenes: Charles Laughton & Alfred Hitchcock On The Set Of JAMAICA INN

Behind The Scenes: Charles Laughton & Alfred Hitchcock On The Set Of JAMAICA INN

1939’s Jamaica Inn was the last film Alfred Hitchcock directed in Britain before he packed his bags and went to Hollywood under the wings of producer David O’Selznick. Based Daphne du Maurier’s 1936 novel, the film is often seen as one of the Master of Suspense’s lesser works and it doesn’t quite hang together despite its top tier pedigree. Hitchcock himself wasn’t a fan of the film, but it was…

Happy Hundredth, O’Hara: A Look at Her Westerns

Happy Hundredth, O’Hara: A Look at Her Westerns

It is the 100th birthday of Maureen O’Hara today and TCM has made her the focus of today’s Summer Under the Stars programing. It is especially remarkable that she was born in 1920 when you recall that her first films were made in 1938 — when she was but a lass of 18. As a young girl in Dublin she’d been a bit of a tomboy; her first role was Robin Hood in a Christmas pantomime.At 14 she began…

The Quiet Man

I’m not sure there is a better way for a teetotaler like me to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day than to spend two hours immersed in Irish  countryside with two great stars of the past. Skip the Blarney Stone and shamrocks, give me John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara in John Ford’s “The Quiet Man” and I will feel like I have been transported to Ireland for a short time on this day. John Wayne was the…

Watching 1939: Jamaica Inn (1939)

Watching 1939: Jamaica Inn (1939)

In 2011, I announced I was trying to see every film released in 1939. This new series chronicles films released in 1939 as I watch them. As we start out this blog feature, this section may become more concrete as I search for a common thread that runs throughout each film of the year. Right now, that’s difficult. 1939 film: Jamaica Inn (1939) Release date: May 12, 1939 Cast: Charles Laughton,…

An American Girl In Ireland: Cool Things to Do in Cong

Hi, readers! Sorry for the stretch of time between this post and the last. Between my annual writing conference, work, book planning and graduation season, June has been a pretty crazy month. Now I’m back and super excited to share one of my favorite excursions in Ireland you need to check out: Cong.

Behind The Scenes: Maureen O’Hara, John Wayne & John Ford On The Set Of THE QUIET MAN

  Faux Irish blarney or Hollywood masterpiece – opinions on The Quiet Man are mixed (it’s the latter, if you must know). The 1952 John Ford film is a punchy romantic comedy with brilliant turns by John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara. They make a fantastic pairing and Wayne would later say O’Hara was his favourite female co-star.  Barry Fitzgerald, Ward Bond and and the great Victor McLaglen also…

Maureen O'Hara's Birthday

Maureen O’Hara’s Birthday

Yeah, I know, I said I’d take the weekend off and not post, but then, stuff keeps happening. And today it’s the birthday of beautiful, spirited and talented Maureen O’Hara, Miss Technicolor herself, and one of the part-time muses of Karavansara as she is the one that coined the term Tits & Sand.

So tonight I think I’ll watch Sinbad the Sailor one more time.
