Nope, not described, sorry. But I do have the non-described version if you'd
like that.

I think I have "Miracle on 34th Street" in my movie
collection.
I've seen "How Green Was My Valley," which also starred Donald
Crisp, a
wonderful actor, and I remember crying at the end of that movie. I
didn't
really know or remember Maureen O'Hara as the leading female member
of that
cast, but that was certainly a movie I loved. I'll have to go back
and see
"Miracle on 34th Street" again to remember her voice. Karen, thanks
for
sending this article about her death along. Sounds as though she
finally
had happiness at the end of her career with her third husband. A
shame he
had to die in a plane crash making her a widow.

Hollywood Actress Maureen O'Hara Dies,
Aged 95








Image removed by sender. []


Hollywood actress Maureen O'Hara, famous
for her
role in The Quiet Man, has died of natural causes, aged 95.


Johnny Nicoletti, longtime manager to the
Irish
star, said she had died in her sleep at home in Boise, Idaho.


In a statement from her family, he said:
"She passed
peacefully surrounded by her loving family as they celebrated her
life
listening to music from her favourite movie The Quiet Man."


According to a family biography, O'Hara
"brought
unyielding strength and sudden sensitivity to every role she played.


"Her characters were feisty and fearless,
just as
she was in real life.


"She was also proudly Irish and spent her
entire
lifetime sharing her heritage and the wonderful culture of the
Emerald Isle
with the world."


O'Hara was born Maureen FitzSimons near
Dublin in
1920, one of six children of a well-known opera singer mother and
father who
owned football teams. It was through her mother that she discovered
a love
of the theatre.


In 1999, she recalled: "My first ambition
was to be
the Number One actress in the world,.


"And when the whole world bowed at my
feet, I would
retire in glory and never do anything again."


Her first marriage - to director George
Hanley Brown
- was annulled when she moved to Hollywood and he remained in
England.


Her move to Hollywood in 1939 was for the
film The
Hunchback of Notre Dame and this began a long career, which included
roles
in the 1947 film Miracle on 34th Street and 1941 coal-mining family
saga How
Green Was My Valley.


She also gained her the name The Queen of
Technicolour, because of the camera's love affair with her flame-red
hair.


In 1941, she married director Will Price
and they
had a daughter Bronwyn in 1944. But she later described the marriage
as "a
terrible mistake" and the couple divorced in 1952.


In 1968, she married her third husband
Brigadier
General Charles Blair, quitting her film career to live with him in
the
Virgin Islands, where he was an airline boss.


He died in a plane crash 10 years later
but she
later remembered the marriage as "the best time of my life".


O'Hara is survived by her daughter Bronwyn
FitzSimons, who lives in Glengarriff, Ireland, her grandson Conor
FitzSimons
of Boise, Idaho, and two great-grandchildren.
