I am very happy that Maureen O'Hara received this honor. She certainly deserves it, because she has both been a great motion picture actor and one who has provided entertainment to so many of us for such a long time.
Who could ever forget her role with John Wayne in the Quiet Man, still a favourite after all these years.
Slainte !!!
Alas, there was no Hall of Fame until last year
Well its about time Mrs O'Hara you are the best
THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE THIRTY (30) YEARS AGO. I AM AND ALWAYS WILL BE, IN LOVE WITH THIS IRISH LAS. THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN THE WORLD. CONGRATS TO HER, SHE SHOULD BE THE TAOISEACH OF IRELAND... I DRINK A PINT TO THAT...
She's forever lovely.
About time.
forflann:I don't think anyone else could play that role...she was just so right for it and so beautiful...An cailin das...as my fa used to say...I know it's quite dated but the acting is superb...I read that the cottage in Cong was damaged if not destroyed in an arson attack...so much for the indigenous Irish love of their culture...Maybe someone knows if it was restored..?
If my father was still with us he's fly over for this ...... he fell madly in love with her while fighting in the Pacific and never got over it ...... Bless her immense heart.
I know the history of Shamrock Rover, but did not make the connection with Maureen O'hara's family until this article. So Colin Farrell's father[Eamon] and uncle Tommy played for her family. How grand! Colin Farrell's production company irishtown Productions should do and updated [hate the term re-make] version of The Quiet man while the dear lady is with us still, to play the role of the widow who owned white cottage.
Maureen O'Hara's induction should have been done A LONG time ago. Ms. O'Hara is such a gracious lady, but through her smile in the photo, there's a good possibility that she is thinking the same thing that I am... "What took you so long???"
so worthy, so everything, true patriot
What a Great Women and Actor. Also a Staunch Irish Republican. God love Her.
there are 3 people I would love to meet before I die 1. Maureen O'Hara, 2. Loretta Lynn, and 3. Susan Boyle. Maureen looks just like my mom when she was in her younger years and she has not changed much by the looks of her pic here. I must meet Maureen while I am here in Ireland.
