In the second of this 2 part series on Hollywood Red Heads, this episode tells the story of Maureen O Hara, one of the most beautiful, athletic, and talented film actresses that ever graced Hollywood film.
Born to a well to do family in southern Ireland, and a fierce Irish and American patriot, Maureen speedily rose up the film ladder, appearing in melodramas, westerns, musicals and adventure movies, many of which are viewed as some of the greatest Hollywood films ever made.
Dubbed the Queen of Technicolor, she was and remains the quintessential female counter to John Wayne, their film partnership forever viewed as the symbol of what perfect chemistry between a male and lead female actor could be in the movies.
As well as appearing opposite John Wayne, she fronted movies with many of the great male leads of the studio era, including Tyrone Power and Errol Flynn and was directed by many of the great directors, including the mercurial John Ford, who would have a major impact on her personal and professional life.
But like so many of the great stars of yester year she would suffer greatly for her art, enduring 2 awful husbands, much sexism, unwarranted gossip, and commercial skulldugery, which sometimes hampered her career.
This episode of CHMTC tells the story of the trials and tribulations of Maureen O Hara, one of Hollywoods hardworking and greatest actresses, who despite all that was thrown at her on a professional and personal level, forged a great career and found personal happiness.
