“People think that if you look fairly reasonable, you can’t possibly act, and as I only care about acting, I think beauty can be a great handicap.”

Rest in Peace Maureen O’Hara ( 17 August 1920 - 24 October 2015)

The beautiful and brash Irish actress starred in such films as ‘How Green Was My Valley,’ ‘Miracle on 34th Street’ and ‘The Quiet Man,’ the latter with her favorite leading man, John Wayne.

Maureen O’Hara, the Irish beauty whose striking red hair, crystal-green eyes and porcelain skin was so dazzling on the silver screen that she was dubbed “The Queen of Technicolor,” has died. She was 95.

O’Hara, who played the feisty wife to onscreen husband John Wayne in five films — three of them directed by John Ford — died Saturday at her home in Boise, Idaho, Johnny Nicoletti, her longtime manager, told the Associated Press. [read more]

My Favorite Films: A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) // dir. Elia Kazan

I don’t want realism, I want magic. Yes, yes, magic. I try to give that to people. I do misrepresent things, I don’t tell truth. I tell what ought to be truth and if that is sinful, then let me be punished for it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOPHIA LOREN! ★ Sep. 20, 1934  ↳ When I think back on my life, sometimes I’m surprised that it’s actually all true. I say to myself, One morning, I’ll wake up and find out that it’s all just a dream. Not that it was always easy. There were hard times. But it was definitely wonderful and worthwhile. Sucess, too, bears its burden that you have to learn how to cope with. No one can teach you. The answer is inside you, where all answers are.
