In an acting career of more than seventy years, Hollywood legend
Maureen O'Hara came to be known as "the queen of Technicolor" for
her fiery red hair and piercing green eyes. She had a reputation as
a fiercely independent thinker and champion of causes, particularly
those of her beloved homeland, Ireland. In "'Tis Herself, " O'Hara
recounts her extraordinary life and proves to be just as strong,
sharp, and captivating as any character she played on-screen.
O'Hara was brought to Hollywood as a teenager in 1939 by the great
Charles Laughton, to whom she was under contract, to costar with
him in the classic film The Hunchback of Notre Dame. She has
appeared in many other classics, including "How Green Was My
Valley, Rio Grande, The Quiet Man, " and "Miracle on 34th Street."
She recalls intimate memories of working with the actors and
directors of Hollywood's Golden Age, including Laughton, Alfred
Hitchcock, Tyrone Power, James Stewart, Henry Fonda, and John
Candy. With characteristic frankness, she describes her tense
relationship with the mercurial director John Ford, with whom she
made five films, and her close lifelong friendship with her
frequent costar John Wayne. Successful in her career, O'Hara was
less lucky in love until she met aviation pioneer Brigadier General
Charles F. Blair, the great love of her life, who died in a
mysterious plane crash ten years after their marriage.
Candid and revealing, "'Tis Herself" is an autobiography as witty
and spirited as its author.
