Maureen O' Hara- Only The Lonely (1991)

[Romy]

Thank you for these details ... It is true that Chris Columbus wrote the role of Rose for Maureen and the script was perfect. She was therefore in good conditions to work ...
In her book, she pays tribute to the team who was very friendly with her.
She was very affected by the death of John Candy....

I changed the format of the video (#14). That seem better ...

Maureen and I were provided out-takes from "Only the Lonely" by Chris Columbus. There are several great scenes that made the cutting room floor; the best is the dance sequence of Anthony Quinn and Maureen where he whirls her around and then does a dip. It's SO cute. Another great scene was Maureen at the grave of her late husband, talking to him. Very dramatic.... fantastic scene.

Sometimes we wonder why some scenes are cut ......

She was in great form at the time...she had just turned 70 and looked terrific ans she was very nice...Candy took great care of her and the story that he gave her his trailer was true...and stopped produtin for like 2 days till that all got straightened out..Anthony Quinn was a real pro and nice man...Belushi's nuts...But he's around Chicago all the time...Candy was nice...quiet...smoked like a fiend...The house he and Ms Ohara "ived" in is about 1/2 block away from the tavern where the scenes were shot..I think it was called O'Neals in the film.Those 2 locations are 3 blocks south of Wrigley Filed....Home of the 1908 National League Champs...and they aint done nothin since......And yes it was my understanding the script was written with her in mind....Those were the days before cell phones,phone cameras etc..IF only I had taken some pictures !!! Have a good weekend...Out tonite for a Irish
Viagra....(Bushmills) Ha Ha !! Be well....TJ The Lawman
