Maureen O'Hara

Maureen O'Hara is, to me, the definition of a leading woman who refused to be mere decoration. The fiery redhead from Dublin held her own in the rugged worlds of John Ford and John Wayne, playing heroines who were passionate yet utterly sensible. I have always loved that she brought spine to roles that lesser films would have flattened into ornament. That she received an Academy Honorary Award in 2014, the year before her passing, gives her story a deserved warmth. She was a genuine queen of classic Hollywood, and I am simply glad she lived to see herself honored.
