| #5 Just watched her last night in the 1939 Hunchback of Notre Dame and looked her up on Wikipedia and was amazed she was alive at 95. Sadly not long after she passed it seems. |

| #4 The scene in the trilogy of the regiment moving out still freaks me right out. Still looking for a cut of it. |

| #3 Maureen O'Hara Arose over Tara. Her sparkling Irish intransigence Made her Star of the County Los Angeles. |

| #2 Quiet Man, a superb film, and John Ford, John Wayne cavalry trilogy, in which she starred in the last Rio Grande, a self image of America that was proud, confident and believed in our nation and its legends. O'Hara was never appreciated for the breadth of her early work, but established an Irish stock character that was well developed and pleasing. RIP |

| #1 From the era in which being an American wasn't considered 'evil or oppressive' by the hacks and producers. |
