One of the best actresses Hollywood ever had. There are thousands of people that claim to be actors now a days, but this woman knew the secret of playing a part and making it feel real. I've cried, and laughed watching her. She brought so much entertainment and happiness into my life. GOD BLESS this beautiful talented woman. Can't say enuf about her. love her, Jackie

Just surfed in and see a couple comments on Ms. O'Hara and I agree. My favorite role that she played which surpases them all is that of Mary Kate Danaher in The Quiet Man. I believe I read some place that it is one of her favorite roles. It has been said that John Ford black balled her and kept her from winning an oscar for the role. Strange as she was one of his favorite actors.
