I don't think I'm repeating this, just read it. That's too bad. She and John Wayne were a pair! May she Rest In Peace.

I loved her in the original Parent Trap movie.  Ninety-five is a nice long life.

A wonderful woman who lived a long and creative life.  I loved everything she provided us on screen and wanted her to be my mother (when I saw her in "Parent Trap").  May she rest in peace.

That makes me so sad. She was a great beauty. My father had a very deep crush on her. I so enjoyed her many movies. May she rest in peace.

I loved her in Miracle on 34th Street even more than in The Parent Trap.  

Frankly, I hadn't even realized she was still alive.  She was 94 yrs. old.

A lovely woman.   May she rest in peace.

I found this while looking for an image.  I did very poorly on the quiz:

She was a beauty and my father's favorite actress.

Truth be told, I didn't know that she was still alive. I thought that she had already passed some time ago.

She had a good, long life.

May she R.I.P.

"The Quiet Man"--great movie, with great chemistry between John Wayne and O Hara.  He wasn't otherwise an actor I enjoyed much, but they were both terrific in that film.  Love the brawl at the end.

I loved "The Parent Trap" too: perfect film for tweens and young teens.  The great California house, the prim Boston house.  Brian Keith was a wonderful actor, and O'Hara was great in that movie, too.  And what a supporting cast--Leo G. Carroll, Nancy Kulp, and of course Hayley Mills with her great teen accessories of that day.  I actually owned one of the dresses the "Boston" twin wore in one of the Boston scenes--the black watch plaid cotton dress with the white bib. 

Anyhow, she did have a great career.  I was reading on Huff Po that she got her start in Dublin's Abbey Theatre.

I always wanted to be like her and DH wished I had been. LOL  Beautiful, fiesty, and a strong appearing woman.  I loved every movie she did with the Duke and I think he enjoyed her as his leading lady.  She was so great in all her work.  Signs of a proud woman/performer.  May she always be remembered and respected.  Rest In Peace special lady!  We will love you always.
