Maureen O'Hara Celebrates 91st Birthday

Hollywood screen legend Maureen O'Hara celebrated her 91st birthday yesterday.

The starlet was born Maureen FitzSimons on the August 17, 1920 in Ranelagh Dublin. Taking advice from her acting peers she later changed her name to a more marketable Maureen O’Hara.

With over 60 films under her belt, O’Hara was most famously known for her work alongside John Wayne. One of the pair’s most well known films- “The Quiet Man” was shot in Cong in County Mayo in 1952.

One of my favorite all-time pairings of O'Hara and Wayne was McLintock! in 1963.

Happy (belated) Birthday to a great lady!
