"Maureen O'Hara" Who Else . Chilibill :cowboy:

:cowboy: Claire Trevor :wub: and then Maureen O'Hara :rolleyes: T.R.K.

Looks like this was one of the bunch of topics that was lost. I picked Maureen O'Hara as my favorite actress to play opposite of Duke. She was great in everything they did, even Big Jake.

Even though she wasn't in Big Jake all that long, her presence was known throughout the movie because of the strong character she played.

Cheers B)

Maureen O'Hara! You could tell they really really really liked each other and it shows on screen :wub:

Hi

Joanne Dru

Next to Maureen O'Hara you got the feeling that she was able to stand up to John Wayne.

:cowboy: Hi, I had been wondering why there were so many pages of posts without subjects and replies. I would have liked to have posted in several more of these. Best regards T.R.K.

Ringo,

We had a crash back in August, and lost a lot of posts. For some reason we didn't have a back up and well, we lost some great posts, and had to back track to fill in. We haven't got everything back yet, and we may never, but feel free to add your two cents worth.

Cheers B)

I think the chemistry between Wayne and Katharina Hepburn in Rooster Cogburn, It is wonderful to see in my opinion the greatest 2 of hollywood acting together.

cya Jwfan

:cowboy: Thank you Hondo, I definately will add 2 cents as often as possible.

Since we lost some posts I wanted to add my 2 cents again. Any Duke movie that had Maureen O'Hara in it was tops in my book. She always got a great performance out of Duke!!

Hi

In her recent Richard and Judy interview Maureen went over the stunt she did in McLintock where she fell into the horse trough. If you think that despite all of the assistance advice and help she received from the stuntmen for that sequence, if she had got it wrong she could have broken her back, neck or if she had been lucky her legs, she had to have been some lady.

For me, it's got to be Maureen O'Hara. She was so good in all of her appearances with Duke, I don't see how anyone else could compare, although I do love the tragic Gail Russell.

Another fun O'Hara film is "Mr. Hobbs Takes A Vacation" from 1962, she and Jimmy Stewart are great together and make a believable couple.

Hi Mary.

I'm not the person on this message board with the most knowledge of John Wayne movies, but I couldn't remember Johnny Cash and John Wayne in a movie together. I did a search of joint ventures on the IMDB site and it did come up with one hit, but this was a TV-show where John Wayne only narrated. From what you told us from the plot it might seem as this is the movie you are looking for though:

A Gunfight (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0067168/)


Kirk Douglas starred in it though, not John Wayne.


If I'm wrong I'm sure someone will be quick to correct me though. There is an astounding amount of knowledge about John Wayne on this message board.

I say Maureen O'Hara and Katharine hepburn, I think if he had played earlier with K.H. they would had made some great movies together, she seems to love that big man in Rooster Cogburn. And they do have some funny moments togehter in the movie.

Larry

Maureen O'Hara of course! She's a polished sophisticated woman.....until her Irish temper gets the better of her! I love that....and I can sympathize about the temper.

Not a contest for me.....Maureen O'Hara

I also really loved him with Gail Russell. I thought he was very good with Katherine Hepburn and Geraldine Page, which is ironic because I don't think he got along that well with either lady.

Without a doubt Maureen O'Hara... I only wish they could have done more together.


Baby Sis

I must have been asleep at the wheel - I thought I had put my 2 cents worth in on this topic. Anyway, my choice would be Maureen O'Hara, hands down. She and the Duke had a rapport both on and off screen that is very difficult to find with any other screen couple.
Cheers - Jay :D

Beyond a shadow of a doubt it was Maureen O'Hara hands down! :)





No One gave me this black eye- I earned it!"

Maudy,

We'd like to be the first to welcome you to the John Wayne Message Board, and encourage you to read through the many posts about our favorite actor, John Wayne!

We certainly can't argue with your choice of Maureen O'Hara - what a team they made!

Chester :newyear: and the Mrs. :angel1:

Maureen 0'Hara,by miles, then Claire Trevor

It has to be Miss O'Hara.

Emmanuel.

.............................

I'll try one of thosr black beers....THE QUIET MAN.

Maureen. Their chemistry was great.

Who could ever top Maureen O'Hara?, Although I thought Katherine Hepburn and the Duke had lots of chemisty in Rooster Cogburn...."And the Lady.."

For me there is no question - Maureen O'Hara. I saw them only in two films - Rio Grande and The Quiet Man - and it is magnificant!

Nobody brought out the best in Duke (or John Ford) then Ms. O'Hara. She is lovely, lively, magnificent, and an inspiration.

Maureen O'Hara,think John Wayne and she also comes to mind.Brill actress she is!

Maureen is the best, bar none!

Maureen O'Hara. Because she and the Duke were good friends, She could stand up to him better than any other film actress. She still could love him like I do when he swats her on the backside. I would say I would pick Patricia Neal as a second. Wish they had done more movies together. I love it when she says, " Rock, I'll be right here".

Hi All

It would have to be Maureen O Hara for the chemistry and friendship between to pair. Claire Trevor would be next with Lauren Bacall in third
position.

Mike

Like most other folks, Maureen is my favorite Duke co-star. But my second (http://www.allmovie.com/cg/avg.dll?p=avg&sql=2:20199~T0) most favorite wasn't on the list.

I has to be Maureen O'Hara it couldn't have been no one else

Maureen O'Hara followed by Lauren Bacall.

No contest... Maureen O'Hara

The only actress that I had really seen put Duke in His place was Hepburn. You can also hear her dialogue when Duke is telling the Judge none to my liking and that is long over due. Wow what a pair to draw to.

Maureen O'Hara, although my favorite actress in a John Wayne movie wasn't on the list, Ella Raines. So of those on the list I chose O'Hara.

I have to go with Maureen on this one, I especially like the story she tells of when they were rehearsing a scene, Duke has just finished reading his lines, leans forward and whispers " Okay Maureen your chance to steal the scene, "If You Can". As if intending to get a more impassioned response. They had such a great rapport, on the set as well as off.
Besides Maureen has always been one of my favorite actresses, just look at the body of work she has done.
I would place Claire Trevor and Katherine Hepburn in a tie for second.

Regards
Ethan

When I took the pool I figured Maureen would win when it came to votes. Yet, I'm surprised at the margin of her win.

I picked Gail Russell. Not for a valid good reason, but I choose her because of her looks. She is very stunning in the Angel and The Badman.

ET

When I was catching up on posts re the birthplace museum there was mention of Mrs Oharas illness. I wonder if it would be in good taste if the board were to communicate the overwhelming level of appreciation demonstrated by this poll to the attn of the Ohara website in hopes that she might be comforted hearing about it. Mrs Ohara helped create the magic perhaps we could thank her in this humble way.

Without a doubt I loved Maureen O'Hara the best. Gail Russel come in second in my view. It was a shame that she died so young

I thought Vera Miles worked well with Duke.

I thought Vera Miles worked well with Duke.

She didn't do that much with Duke. She was in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance but most of her scenes were with Stewart. In Hellfighters, she wasn't in that picture that much but she did have some good scenes with Duke. Let's not forget The Green Berets which had her scenes deleted from the movie. And yes there is The Searchers but like LV, she had her scenes with someone else. I agree with you but there were many other actresses who did more with Duke and worked well.

Cheers :cool: Hondo

Hi,

Excuse me, I thought the thread title, Your Favorite Actress In A John Wayne Movie, meant who was my favorite actress. Sorry for the mistake.

Maureen O´Hara fits the Duke best and Gail Russel was so beautiful (a few weeks ago I watched the movie "Seven Men from Now" starring Randolph Scott and Gail Russel, produced by John Wayne - wonderful!), but I choose Katharine Hepburn, because she was great on Duke´s side in "Rooster Cogburn" - and she ist my favourite female actor!

my favorite would have to be Maureen O'hara and particularly as Kathleen in the Quiet Man in that movie they seemed so in love

Great to see you back nancy.

I will always enjoy Maureen in the many movies with Duke, but after seeing Tall in the Saddle again Ella Raines was a fire brand plus a knock out.

As the kids say nowadays" She had it going on...." (man I think I just sounded like my parents, oh wait I am a parent) anyways, yes, she was a looker.

Even though I Voted for Maureen O'Hara I liked Gail Russell very much with Duke in "The Angel And The Badman." And She was a Real Lady !

Chilibill
:angel1::ph34r:

Maureen for me. I love her smile at the end of Rio Grande.:wink_smile:
Second is Gail. She is wonderful next to John Wayne in Wake of the Red Witch and Angel and the Badman. I wished they would have done some more movies together.

Maureen O'Hara by far. She was an awesome actress.

Dixie

Maureen O'Hara wins hands down but I also liked the chemistry in Patricia Neal with "Rock" In Harm's Way.

I loved Maureen O'Hara in all of her movies with Duke,but I also thought
that the pairing of two legends like Katherine Hepburn and John Wayne
in a movie like Rooster Cogburn and the Lady was a great idea.
If anyone was as tough as Rooster Cogburn it had to be Miss Eula Goodnight !

Maureen O'hara hands down!

Maureen O'Hara followed by Claire Trevor and Gail Russell. :shades_smile:

Maureen O'Hara is obvious, but I really like Vera Miles with Duke also. She made as many movies with Duke as Maureen, but was usually not linked with Wayne until she got older.
Andy:wink_smile:

Maureen O' Hara, Maureen O'Hara, Maureen O'Hara!!!!!
Even though I think Lauren Bacall did a great job, I would have liked to see Maureen O'Hara in the Shootist. And while thinking of it wouldn't it have made the Shootist even more great if they had had the other two bad guys be guys that were bad guys in his other movies be on the movie. I love the Shootist don't get me wrong, but it still would have been cool, just like haveing Richard Boone on it. Not that we can change anything just commenting.
Stacy

I enjoy the Duke's interaction with Claire Trevor and Maureen O'Hara most of all, but Gail Russell puts a spring in my step.

The way she looks at him.

Her vulnerability was not acting.

Richard

Must agree on Maureen O' Hara

Well, Maureen seems to be my favorite along with almost everyone here. I like Angie Dickinson too, though. Maybe we should be really snarky and start a thread for your least favorite actress, mine being Jennifer O'Neill.



We deal in lead, friend.

I would pick two ..... Maureen, and then Ella !!!

Dee x

maureen o hara and ella rains.ella stood up to jw in tall in the saddle much more than any other actress except for maureen and katherine hepburn

There are others who were good and forgetten leading ladies,
from the early days there were
Sheila Terry
Ruth Hall
then later
Joanne Dru
Vera Miles
Donna Reed
Paulette Goddard
