R.I.P. Maureen O'Hara

Well... I just learned last night that Maureen O'Hara passed away. Sad news, but not completely unexpected, since she was getting up in years.
She'll be missed.
As a naturalized citizen of the U.S. born in Ireland, she represented her mative culture in a positive way and was a patriot to this country.
Of course, those of us at C.S.R. will mostly remember her for the vigorous on-screen paddling she got from John Wayne in McLintock!
In 1963, Maureen O'Hara was enough of an established star that she wouldn't have had to take just any acting job that was tossed her way. She could've declined the role of Katherine Gilhooley McLintock, but, thankfully she didn't! She signed up for the part and was willing to take a spanking for the fans! We love her for that!
And now, she's no longer with us. May she rest in peace, and may her family and friends find comfort in their time of mourning.
