"Maureen O’Hara, the Irish beauty whose striking red hair, crystal-green eyes and porcelain skin was so dazzling on the silver screen that she was dubbed 'The Queen of Technicolor,' has died." She was 95. The Hollywood Reporter's Mike Barnes and Duane Byrge note that she "played the feisty wife to onscreen husband John Wayne in five films—three of them directed by John Ford." Along with her role in The Quiet Man, she "may be best remembered as the cynical working mother to a young Natalie Wood in Miracle on 34th Street," notes Adam Bernstein in the Washington Post. "Ms. O’Hara continued to play strong spouse roles opposite major leading men of the day, including James Stewart (Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation, 1962) and Henry Fonda (Spencer’s Mountain, 1963)." We're collecting remembrances. » - David Hudson...
