Maureen O'hara..........................From her first appearances on the stage and screen Maureen O'Hara (b. 1920) attracted attention for her striking beauty radiant red hair and impassioned characters of passionate heroines. Her acting was powerful and a confident lady. She was a standout in her roles, whether being rescued by Charles Laughton in The Hunchback Of Notre Dame (1939), being in love under the blackened sky of Walter Pidgeon in How Green Was My Valley (How Green Was My Valley 1941) and learning about miraculous happenings through Natalie Wood in Miracle on 34th Street (Miracle on 34th Street, 1947) or battling wits with John Wayne in The Quiet Man (The Quiet Man 1952) Maureen O'Hara was the first biographies written about the screen icon, called the Queen of Technicolor. Aubrey Malone uses new information taken from Irish Film Institute notes on the productions, as well as information from old newspaper, magazine and fan publications to follow the actress throughout her childhood in Dublin and reaches the peak of her fame in Hollywood. Malone also examines the actress's friendship with frequent costar John Wayne and her relationship with director John Ford and he addresses the hotly debated question of whether or not the screen diva could be considered a feminist, or an antifeminist persona. O'Hara was a film icon during the golden age cinema, yet her preference for privacy and her habit of making statements which were in opposition to the personal preferences of her has left her in the shadows. The biography that has been released gives us the chance to see the woman who was behind the iconic character of her day.
