Maureen O'hara..........................From her first appearances on the stage and screen Maureen O'Hara (b. 1920) stood out with her stunning beauty, radiant hair, and passionate portrayals of spirited heroines. When she was rescued from death by Charles Laughton (The Hunchback of Notre Dame 1939) falling in the love of Walter Pidgeon against a coal-blackened sky (How Green Was My Valley 1941) learning to believe in the power of God with Natalie Wood (Miracle on 34th Street 1947) or matching wits in a duel with John Wayne (The Quiet Man 1952) her charm was evident in the audience with her impressive presence as well as her effortless self-confidence. Maureen O'Hara, the book-length biography of the screen legend called the Queen of Technicolor is published. Aubrey Malone, a film critic who tracks the superstar's life from her early years in Dublin all the way to her peak of her fame in Hollywood is able to draw new facts and details on the subject from Irish Film Institute film production reports and historic newspaper articles and fan magazines. Malone is also a bit more in-depth about her relationship with frequent costar John Wayne and her relationship with director John Ford and he addresses the hotly debated issue of whether the screen icon had a female or antifeminist persona. O'Hara was a film icon in the golden age of cinema, but her penchant for privacy and her tendency to make remarks in public that were not akin to her personal choices made her an unsolved mystery. This breakthrough biography offers the first glimpse of the woman behind the larger-than-life character, who has a knack for sifting through myths to offer a balanced analysis of one of the biggest actors of silverscreen.
