Maureen O'Hara is a woman I like, she is like a great man. I have many friends, but I prefer to be with men. Except Maureen O'Hara   .

Maureen O'Hara has a faint Irish accent, bright red hair and independent temperament, often described by the media as "fiery", but this means that she is a unique personality; in fact, she is a real actress. It is also one of the few actresses to prove on the screen that they can match John Wayne .

Maureen O'Hara was a great beauty of her time-a star who was so charming in romantic films in the 1940s that she was called the "Queen of Color Movies" and she was also a brave lady on the screen. Enjoy a wonderful fighting life on and off the screen. Among her female competitors, she has no equal opponents. Rita Hayworth is more seductive, Ava Gardner is more affectionate, but O'Hara is the only one who can fight with her leaders and give everything consistently   .
