Maureen O'Hara - RIP

[boedicca]

She had a good run, R.I.P...

Actually, I remember seeing "The Quiet Man". If you recall, at the end of the film he smacked her across the head and down to the ground she went. Can you imagine any film with a hero getting away with that now?

"""In “The Quiet Man,” Wayne tames the fiery O’Hara. As he drags his obdurate bride across a field to fling her at the feet of her obnoxious brother, a woman hands him a branch, saying, “Sir, here’s a good stick to beat the lovely lady.” It’s the most controversial line in the movie."""

You SAW The Quiet Man? It was was released in 1952. You must be geriatric.

No, I have TMC on cable.

Well, duh. Other people have cable, too.

Moron.

I must admit I was shocked to see she was still alive !

Always loved her in all those John Wayne films. She played his wife so many times, at one point I thought they must be married in real life !

Ah, the power of Hollywood.....

WOW....sad to hear, but she must have enjoyed a wonderful life to have lived so long. Her best movie for me, Hunchback and the Parent Trap. May she rest in peace, along with all the greats of her era.

Well, yes. She was 95. The only ones still alive that I can immediately think of are Kirk Douglas and Olivia de Haviland.

Olivia de Haviland was always too smart to accept a scene where a man knocked her to the ground.

Gregory Peck died just a year before Ronald Reagan. I was in Korea at the time and missed the news. He was one of my favorite classic actors.

Only 5 times, but the interplay between them was awesome.

Five times, Wow !
That's got to be a Hollywood record !

For what?

an actor and actress portraying husband and wife?

Yes, five separate movies.

I am extremely old school and worship the TMC channel. Gregory Peck along with Bill Holden are by far the best actors of that era. 3 Peck movies that will go down in history as being the best....Roman Holiday, To Kill a Mockingbird and of course, Gentlemens Agreement....and anything Bill was in, I got on tape!!!

That era gave us....America in a nut shell, never to be repeated or enjoyed as much.

I am sorry but you must not be a woman. Because Cary Grant grabbed it all. Smart, savvy, sexy. North by Northwest..... But agree on William Holden. He ooozed hottiness in "The Picnic" even though Kim Novak was wooden and stilted.

Gregory Peck never had that sexy sheen to him, he became everybody's fantasy father in To Kill a Mockingbird, but he was pretty hot in The Guns of Navarone.

I bet the Duke made about 25 times what she got paid for that film.
Even Katharine Hepburn understood that bullshit.
Bruce Dern (in an interview with Rolling Stone for "Nebraska") said that John Wayne was usually sloshed by 8:30 in the morning, too. But maybe he wasn't an alcoholic back then.

Edited to add: Dern also said that in one of his last films, he played the guy who shot and killed Wayne in "The Cowboys" and Wayne warned him that his career would be over if he shot that scene. Nobody kills The Duke. He was right. Dern never got a decent roll after that.

Leave it to you to turn a thread meant simply to honor the passing of a Hollywood great into trashing Wayne and the inequalities of the time.

Dog gonnit, as much as I liked the Cary, I wasn't a real fan of many of his movies....Arsenic and Old Lace cracks me up every time I see it and North By Northwest, yes another good one, but again, although the guy was sexy as hell, I never really got into his style of acting. But Bill in Picnic, when he confessing his love for Kim behind that old barn..priceless.....I just love Bill Holden and just about every movie he made, its a classic...the guy had sexy, had drama and he had that every day manliness about him...could dream about this guy all night and still never tire of his presence.

Just about all movies made back in the day, compared to the get the money and run movies of today, all have and had classic value to them. The most wonderful gift I have found, while enjoying TMC, are movies that I've discovered are simple pleasures. I've never seen the Guns of Navarone, but will now that you've suggested it. I did leave out another one of his classic, The Yearling.....and the one seen he's telling his kid Joey they have to shoot his beloved deer Flag...brings tears to my eyes each time.

I agree Boedicca. She was great co-starring with John Wayne.
