Maureen O'Hara.
What a beautiful woman. This red-headed, orange lipped, Irishwoman (not evident in photo) must surely have been one of nature's most outrageous creations.
She also did a spot of movie-acting. How Green Was My Valley and Miracle on 34th Street being two of my own particular favourites. I salute you Miss O'Hara.
Maureen O'Hara was truly one of the great actresses. I do believe the Oscars and other awards ceremonies terribly overlooked her. I googled her and she is now 91 years old. What an outstanding beauty.. again overlooked in the rankings. in short, she is one of my top favorites.
She really was beautiful. Have you ever watched the movie Only the Lonely with John Candy and Maureen O'Hara as his overbearing mother? She does a great job.

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching).
Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
Phwoar!

ReplyDeleteShe is a Beaut. I like those movies too!
ReplyDeleteShe is one of my all time favorites...she could sing, too. I own a copy of "How Green Was My Valley" and watch it often.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, are you on Facebook, Cro? Friend me...
