Laurie; Do You remember When They used to Party at the “COMANCHE “ in ST. CROIX🔮

I’ve loved Maureen aalll my life for obvious reasons

She was irish and proud of it as the irish are proud of her

She was a very talented actress!

I believe that. And her REAL name Fitzsimmons would have worked just as well in her career!

I totally agree he always had a lot of respect for her, plus he did say she was one of the boys and his best mate.

i believe he thought about marrying her but found her a little too "independent' other issue was his fear or john ford who would have gone ballistic. Ford was said to have been obsessed with her flying into a fury with her brother calling her a "whore" for dating a man from south america. Mr. wayne was doing the "wild thing" with marlene dietrick even on stairs in an italian hotel so type not issue. She was likely too independent for him as well. His second marriage was said to have broken up over his wife's drinking and aggression Hard for young people today to get their hands around but men were very different in general in those times.

He had a torrid affair with Marlene Dietrich, which also didn't fit his "type". I think he and Mo did it.

@@karlinaz3996 exactly what I said they were on stairs of an italian hotel. I don't know if he did with Ms. O'Hara as they were both very afraid of john ford who was the king of hollywood and felt he had rights to control her life. He also protected her as she was never pressured by any of the other morons in casting couch activities. apparently the only person in hollywood not afraid of ford was ward bond. plenty of stories of his making grown men cry.

@@donnasherwood283 however, his last grilfriend until his death was his secretary Pat Stacy, a nice Irish American girl.

if.they.were.not.they.shood.have.been.i.?

You have to see her in The Black Swan. A pirate movie with Tyrone Power. It was the movie that really highlights her beauty at it's best. Watch it just for that.

@@theimp5901 yes I have seen it, Maureen o hara...absolutely stunning, she didn't need make-up nor plastic surgery, also brilliant actress..

I’m very lucky to have many male friends over the years. They have been great relationships with no sexual attachments to muddy the waters. Lol

My best friend during my college and later years was a man and there was never anything sexual about. Then he went and got married after age 45 or later, and I lost my pal.

@@maggiegarber246 condolences. It’s hard when our contemporaries start dying. Hugs ❤️

You don't need to have a physical affair in order to be friends...not everything is sexual or physical.

Wayne was obsessed with Maureen, too. Dearest of friends.

A great book,title from John Huston,...

I can not imagine anyone not liking Maureen O' Hara. What a classy fine lady.

Maybe she was obsessed with John Wayne because he was a gentleman to her he respected her and unfortunately they didn't tie the knot

wrong

John Wayne playing John Wayne.

A lot of actors and actresses made many movies together without having an affair. It's called professionalism, and in most cases is seen as just a working relationship. The main difference here is that John and Maureen developed a long lasting friendship and respected one another.

@@ladywisewolf3942 Only one way you would have known that in this case is if you were there, and I am sure you weren't!

This was a long time ago why do you guys care if they had a sexual relationship anyway that's their business were they doing their privacy

Amen friend I feel the same way they have children that reads the garbage that people write and it is a shame that they write garbage about famous people

@@joangann549 exactly!! Thank you!!

Have you been to Cong in Mayo where the quiet man was filmed

She was Born in Ireland. Even more than Irish decent

@@cherylcrichfield8450 It’s a beautiful place, I finally got to see it and I was stunned by the grass and the animals actually laid down and slept, chewed their cud unlike around here where I live the cows almost never stop grazing because the grass isn’t as lush as it is in Ireland. I understood why my grandmother said her favorite color was green after seeing beautiful Ireland.

It was John Ford the Director who had it put there, when Wayne questioned him about it, Ford said "She's tough, She can take it" I think he wanted to knock her down a peg

@@charles1964 - Maureen didn't need to be "knocked down a peg" as you put it. John Ford was a horrid man. Maureen said in her autobiography he slapped her and she never really knew why. I would have slapped him back! Maureen said that Ford was living (in his own mind) the Quiet Man and lost his mind. Ford put the dung down for Maureen to be dragged through it because Maureen said she wouldn't sleep with John Ford and he made her pay for it.

@@SweetThing Please don't misquote me, I never said Maureen needed to be knocked down a peg, Maureen O'Hara was pure class. I was saying Ford must have thought that if he berated her every chance he got, and ordered Duke to drag here through sheep dung that he had purposely placed there. I heard the stories too, about his treatment of her, forcing her to whisper something gross in dukes ear at the end of "Quiet Man" so I don't doubt she refused him and he tried to humiliate her.

@@charles1964 - John Ford didn't tell Maureen to say something "gross" in John Wayne's ear; Ford said for her to say something to Wayne that would surprise him, so he would look startled on screen. I have a friend who knew the caretaker friend of Maureen's up until the end of her life and what Maureen told John Wayne was that she was pregnant. This truly startled Wayne and he was upset after the fact because he felt guilty about dragging Maureen this way and that in her fragile condition. Maureen wasn't thrilled about being dragging around in the dung either; she could take it like a trooper, but it wasn't necessary & I feel that was a dark side of that movie; it wasn't all fun & games (at the expense of women it wasn't). Basically, it was a misogynistic movie. Maureen said years after the movie was made; if she had had some backing from anyone making the film, (she didn't even get that from Wayne), she would have walked off the set & never looked back. I think she should have. The movie was a hit, but at what expense? Have a gr8 day.

@@SweetThing That's me told. I hope you feel better now

That "chemistry" is called ACTING, and their have been dozens of famous "movie couples" with pronounced chemistry that never had affairs.

watch it everyday love that movie, love sitting pretty 1948 with clifton webb she was a good dancer with webb.
