Hollywood actress Maureen O'Hara, 95, dies

Dublin

MAUREEN O'Hara, the flame-haired star of How Green Was My Valley and Miracle on 34th Street who was one of Ireland's most successful acting exports, has died aged 95, her family and the Irish president said on Saturday.

O'Hara, an iconic figure in Hollywood's Golden Age of the 1940s and 1950s who was once considered one of the world's most beautiful women, also played a string of feisty women opposite John Wayne, including in The Quiet Man.
