"Because I don't let the producer and director kiss me every morning or let them paw me they have spread the word around town..."
"... that I am not a woman — that I am a cold piece of marble statuary."

Indeed, what a woman.
That woman had spirit! And principles.
Cue your dopey sexual-assault apologist.
She was always one of my favorite actresses. There was fire and strength in the characters she portrayed and that fire and strength seemed to come from within her -- not merely something she conjured up for the screen. It's good to see this newspaper clipping that confirms my judgement of her. She was a special women.
You mean it is possible to not sell out and still be successful? Or at least, it was at one time.
She's great. Love her movies.
Damn, a woman in Hollywood with some real values. I bet she would have never said "Harvey, you're still my little rascal."
It seems to be normal human relations, on the other hand.
The lady's getting on her high horse a little.
Work the stuff out invidicually, vs work it out in public.
Also ran a small airline in the Caribbean after her husband passed away
Today's women have more spunk.
Good for her!

I'm pretty sure she tried to work it out in private before going public. I cannot imagine someone making repeated and unwelcome passes at her without her telling them to knock it off.
But, how do you 'work the stuff out individually' when the 'stuff' is someone spreading malicious and false gossip about you? The person is apt to simply say they'd never said such a thing, and where would you go from there?
Well, Hollywood had John Ford, who'd continue to work with her, despite her unwillingness to put out. Hollywood since the 70s has no John Fords, mostly sociopaths like Weinstein, Polanski, Seagall, Spacey et al and vast hordes of careerists who go along to get along.
Awesome. This makes me feel better.
Apparently they stopped when asked. She's complaining about her career.
The Quiet Man and McClintock. Two great Maureen O'Hara movies.
John Ford went into a decline while shooting "The Quiet Man" because she would not sleep with him.
Two of her brothers were also in the cast, which might have helped her stand up for her rights.
She lived to age 95. She just died two years ago.
Key words here being “ Irish film star”, not Irish ingenue trying to get her first jobs.

Which one? Snark? Unknown? ARM? Now I Know! ?

The Irish ingenue got her first film jobs through that old queer Charles Laughton.
Public silence is the very mechanism that allows sexual predators to thrive.
Was that remark about divorcing your husband and abandoning your baby an oblique reference to Ingrid Bergman?......In defense of Ingrid, every time she abandoned her children, she left them in the care of a consccientious, caring nanny,

That didn't happen until 1950.

And still we can't talk about who enforced that silence for decades!

I just loved that old queer! :-)
Her chemistry with John Wayne was amazing. Loved her in "Rio Grande."
Bravo, a woman with balls.
A brilliant find and telling history! Bravo!
She is a woman, but so much more. She is a lady.
It's too bad they are men, and not gentlemen.
A cold potato (LOL)
Actually O'Hara's problem was that she too much woman for most her leading men.
She needed a real strong leading man like John Wayne or Brian Keith.

Yep. Wasn't The Quiet Man a great film?
Unintentional cross-post linkage??? In Larry Davids SNL monologue, he compares himself to Quasimodo... an ugly freak who only goes for the best looking girls... like Esmeralda as played by MO Hara.
O'Hara should have gotten some better roles considering her talent, but the competition in the 40s/50s for actresses was very tough.
And of course, in those days, if you 40, you immediately got promoted to "MoM" parts. Irene Dunne stated that in the 1930s she was playing Cary Grant's wife, in the 1950's she was playing his mother.
The biopic on Alfred Hitchcock was pretty rough on him in this regard, he apparently became obsessed with the star of The Birds, and directly and forcefully propositioned her.
She was great. She seems to have had a very successful career for an actress who wouldn't put out. Of course by 1945 she was already a star, and she was who she was, so the claim that she was a "cold potato" wasn't particularly credible.
Looks like a lot of "Hot bagels" were upset that an "Irish Potato" wouldn't heat up when asked to.
Anyway, O'Hara looks like the kind of Irish lass who'd give Weinstein a knee in the crotch instead of watching him take a "Shower".
a lot of "Hot bagels"
like Hitchcock and Ford? those bagels?
Impetuous. Homeric.

I think he's checked in. One has to wonder about someone who feels the need to knee-jerkily rush in and comment here seemingly within minutes every time our hostess posts another one of the sleazebag stories.
