The Irish-American icon Maureen O’Hara carved a place for herself among the greatest actresses Hollywood had ever seen and starred in countless classic movies. Born and raised in Dublin, O’Hara started to pursue acting from a very young age and, before long, became a major star in comedies, romances, and Western movies. With acclaimed collaborations with the likes of John Wayne and James Stewart, throughout her career, she worked with some of the biggest names in show business.
While Wayne gave an enjoyable performance as a wealthy farmer using his influence to maintain peace in the community, it was O’Hara as Kate McLintock who was responsible for the film’s funniest scenes, as she showed off her expert talent for physical comedy. As a lighthearted box office hit, McLintock! may not have the prestige credentials of O’Hara’s most acclaimed work, but it more than proved her skills for pure entertainment.
While Candy and his love interest, played by Ally Sheedy, gave hilarious performances, O’Hara was truly the star of the show as the mother they couldn’t get a moment away from. As a performer of such iconic stature, having O’Hara return to the screen for his film made Only the Lonely a defining moment in her career. O’Hara then continued to act throughout the decade and appeared in several made-for-TV movies.
