I met her in person. She appeared so young in every way and beautiful. She was in NYC for the 50th Anniversary of Miracle so that was 1997. It was in the lobby of the Marqui Hotel and she came to me and started to talk to me as if she knew me. It was strange but I’ll never forget it.

[@frannyleyden7988]

Wow, how wonderful!

[@HaruJaya]

[@KatharinaK117]

She was very human.

[@DaisyThomas777]

She was 80 years old on the interview and still very beautiful.

[@scotnick59]

I'll say she was!!

[@stebaer]

@@scotnick59 :Yes me too and even in the Great Beyond.

[@stebaer]

Maureen O'Hara made it to be 95 years 1 month and 2 weeks old she passed away on 10/24/2015. R.I.P. Maureen O'Hara.

[@stebaer]

Yes she's was very lovely and radiant throughout her life and into her elderly years and Im sure that she still is even in The Great Beyond.

[@mscarolynnigro]

can you imagine that she was 80 here??? how gorgeous she is.

[@gabe-po9yi]

So much respect for this lady. She never did the casting couch, she refused to pose for scantily-clad photos and wouldn’t even have photos of her in a bathing suit. She didn’t have affairs, sleep around, never smoked and didn’t even want to be in a film that required her to look as though she was drinking alcohol.

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

Also, she stayed confined to the big screen rather than try to break out into TV.

[@todslaughter2]

@@ClassicTVMan1981X Sorry, but Maureen was in some TV-movies, some of them are apparently lost, and ended her career with three excellent TV-movies.

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

@@todslaughter2 I'd love to know what they are...

[@todslaughter2]

@@ClassicTVMan1981X In fact Maureen appeared nine times on TV-movies or TV-episodes from 1960 ("Mrs Miniver") to 2000 ("The Last Dance"). Her three last TV-movies are available on DVD...

[@youngbloodk]

She did smoke in the film The Wings of Eagles

[@arkle6109]

In all fairness, she looks like she is in her 50's. She is 80 in this clip. Hard to believe?

[@GeoStrum3]

It’s true. I saw her myself. She defied age up until her stroke and that did take its toll.

[@brianmayfan6214]

My roommate met her once at an Acapulco restaurant - she was with her grandson. Maureen was so kind and funny! She ended up paying the bill for my roommate, her fiancee and his parents - she was a wonderful, beautiful woman! One of a kind!

[@cherylcooper1885]

What an awesome story and experience that must of been!

[@ednafenton7558]

My favorite movies of Miss O'hara are, "McClintock", "The Parent Trap" & "Spencer's Mountain". I wish she & the Duke had made more movies together. They had great chemistry! Maureen O'Hara had CLASS!!!!

[@angelavenable7308]

I LOVE The Parent Trap. My second favorite movie. I watch it if I am down & I am happy again!

[@christinehobson4825]

What words, praise or appreciation could ever do justice to the wonder of Maureen O'Hara? She is one on her own, the only one and only one, ever only, Maureen O'Hara.

[@CrazyIrishDrunk1]

RIP Maureen O'Hara! a Hollywood legend and an Irish legend too! We here in Ireland have lost such a star.

[@thomaskessinger2114]

+Jonathan Po It was such a shock to me because when I watched that interview of her and Robert Osbourne from last year, she looked to be doing just fine, but unfortunately the time of her passing on came too soon.

[@angelacarleton9575]

+Jonathan Po - She was the most beautiful woman ever-- my mother looked like her. amazing.. What a lovely beautiful person and Irish too. What is interesting I love Ireland and hope some day to visit Ireland some day.

[@thomaskessinger2114]

+Angela Carleton I've seen many pictures of Ireland and it's landscape is absolutely gorgeous!

[@gmaureen]

+Angela Carleton My mother looked a bit like her too, and I was named after her. Hope you get to Ireland, you'll love it.

[@coskuntoktamis]

So sad....!!

[@vlogsbyme1721]

Maureen O'Hara is truly incomparable. One of the greats, and this generation will never know it

[@KatharinaK117]

Too bad. I m a cineast of Old Hollywood, so I knew, know...

[@kasha1932]

YES!!! Maureen O'Hara was a "one of a kind" during her lifetime, and no one will ever come close to the very, very "humanness' she portrayed in all of her work. Indeed, she did have a quality very rare these days, especially. BRAVA, Maureen!! Thanks YT!!

[@dutchgirl242]

Loved this...what a beautiful lady in all aspects..I don't believe I've ever seen a bad picture of her..miss her films..

[@AyeWitness]

[@andromedastar4900]

Wow, she was 80 years old here, she aged so well and looked great!

[@beaubarri2243]

Wonderful interview. I have always thought she was one of the most beautiful women in the world.

[@thomasmcdonald5887]

I agree 100%

[@kimclayton2860]

Probably my top 10 favorites if not number 1 actresses. Oh Ms. O'Hara how I miss you and the kind of films you were in of the generation. Love these stories and what a proud heritage you have. First lady to run an airline and still maintained her femininity and independence while loving her husband, doing film and what a brilliant mind. Wished we had more like you.

[@JuliasGallery]

Rest in peace Maureen O'hara. You have inspired many many women and a beautiful soul to gaze upon.

[@jajones-ford2226]

A great lady and a wonderful actress. RIP Maureen.

[@KatharinaK117]

AMEN. LK had obviously a hard time she being a outspoken Catholic lol!

Maureen is a class act, a beautiful, talented and just simply an extraordinary woman.... Now we are stuck with a bunch of wannabe's and schmucks!!!

[@thomaskessinger2114]

+Dave Jordan I have to concur. At 3:10, she is absolutely right about what she said. You would indeed have to work at it to become big. Such a wise woman. :)

[@drewknight7126]

How Right You Are!

[@clifton7903]

She missed 102 by 7 years. What a woman she was, what a beautiful woman she was and what a great actress she was

[@markmarsh27]

She must have lived the most perfectly healthy life in every respect. .... 80 years old here and looking like a GORGEOUS 55 year old. ... (The fact that She was the most beautiful woman who ever lived probably had something to do with it --- I've been in love with Her since I was 8 or 9).

[@rebekahbrown4052]

How can she possibly still be so beautiful for so long? Wow

[@bcfairlie1]

What a fabulous woman. I loved her. Such a great actress. Such a beautiful woman. What an inspiration

[@gunnyo.7914]

One of the top 10 best actresses of all time!

[@RAB157]

My God, I've watched so many interviews on T.V. and KZbin but none of them come close to this one. What a lovely woman, and 80 years old (yes 80). I don't think I would ever tire from listening to her stories. RIP Maureen.

[@fw1421]

I’m 69 years old. I saw The Quiet Man way back in the 1960’s and I’ve loved her ever since. I’ve seen as many of her films as I can and my favorites are The Quiet Man and The Long Grey Line. Classic films,great casts,wonderful acting.

[@todslaughter2]

Same thing for me. She became my favorite actress when I was 14, watching her in "The Quiet Man" in its 1954 release in Paris. I'm 82 now - and Maureen still is my favorite. I also loved "The Long Grey Line" and saw it several times in theaters.

[@thomaskessinger2114]

"The Quiet Man" rules! I love that movie so much. Talk about incredible chemistry between John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara.

[@stephengriffin9992]

I loved, and agree with, the kind words Maureen said regarding John Candy: he was a fine actor and would have proven it given a few more years of life. Very telling that he said to her at his 40th birthday he realised he had not many years left. Bobby Darin also knew he wouldn’t live long. Great interview and thank you for posting.

[@paulwoolley4957]

Beautiful lady, marvellous actress God bless her🙏❤️May she rest in peace 😢

[@duffbrown8524]

Top of the pole no one like her . She had the beauty the toughness the class the spunk the spirit in other words THIS LADY had it all . Even at this age shes terrific

[@rogerioprs]

She was beautiful at 80...... very impressive!!

[@matthewmcnew6979]

I remember watching her and John Wayne when I was a kid and loved both of them. I noticed someone commented and said she was 80 here. She really does look no more than 50 something. What a beautiful woman and so likable.

Maureen O'Hara was a great actress in all her movies and yes she was irish just like me, she did her movies in the usa but I moved to Canada to live and work< and it was great here> R.I.P Maureen O'Hara.

[@thomasmcdonald5887]

The Christmas box was one she did after this , it’s fabulous and she’s still beautiful

[@Eurafrican]

It's true that Northern Irish people sound very similar to Americans. This is a great interview. She comes across as a lovely person and considering she was 80 years old in this interview, was ravishing.

[@coskuntoktamis]

Euro_african+ I have had the impression that the American accent came from the Souther Ireland!!

[@Eurafrican]

Coskun Toktamis yep I'd be likely to agree. with you. I am English you know, and I can hear similarities between the Cornish accent and the Northern American accent too!

[@a.k7702]

Euro-African Maureen wasn't Northern Irish though.

[@RG-hf9em]

[@outinsider]

Well, she was tough at 95. But, she left the physical victoriously. After all, she got an Honorary Oscar, and not every actress of her generation could say that, outside of Myrna Loy.

[@Themanwhocameback2]

[@tmcge3325]

I thought for sure her and Wayne had a romance but she just set the record straight and correct, John Wayne was the best!

[@frannyleyden7988]

She never did the casting couch scene. A class act. Her autobiography, "Herself" is a wonderful read!

[@Farrah300]

John Wayne was her best friend!!!

[@tmcge3325]

@@Farrah300 and her husband's friend too!

[@timmccaffrey1326]

She was a very dignified lady of the old school and I don't think she ever said anything really bad about anyone in an interview. Her husband was a pilot who was killed in an plane crash in the 1960's and strangely she never remarried. She lived quietly in a small Irish village about forty miles from where I live and she appeared now and then opening festivals and things like that. Irish people are not generally star struck and virtually anyone can walk along the street without being bothered. Even the late Leonard Cohen was able to walk alone through the streets of Dublin when he was appearing in a series of concerts here a few yeas ago....this was despite the huge publicity he was getting at the time. When MRS O Hara was in her late eighties she had a falling out with her longtime carers in Ireland and she spent her last few years in America.

[@theolamp5312]

Maureen is beautiful, and that is wonderful. But, great acting is an entirely different thing. And, she also gave us that. We may never see the likes of her ever again. The "Academy" took way to long to honor her. Shame on them.

[@tarnsand440]

Wow!! Would never guess Maureen was 80 here. More like 65!😃

[@rhondanorquay4568]

She was a very classy lady! I wish more women were like her today!!! So many women think showing half or all of your body makes you special or talented. It doesn't. Look at our society today and ask yourself if we are better off today than we were at that time? Yes, some things are better, as in technology and things like that. But look at our children! All of the problems that they have today that weren't even thought of years ago! Things that made us want to turn the T.V. off because of language, hint or sex, or violence now have turned into free porn, violence that you get numbed by, language that your 10 yr old comes home saying, T.V. shows with content not even questioned anymore. It's become the normal thing now in our world, What a shame that we have let Hollywood dictate our morals! What happened to decent stars like Grace Kelly, Lucille Ball, and Rosemary Clooney? These actresses were perfect but they had class. We will miss you Maureen! God help America!

If this interview was done in 2000, Maureen O'Hara was 80 years old and her daughter not at all in her forties but 56 indeed. Wonder why Mrs. O'Hara gave her daughters age wrong.

[@bobbypaluga4346]

Celisar1 Women lie about their age, ALWAYS. Having a child reach middle age, makes you a fossil. While Maureen O'Hara's age is well known, she them lies about her daughters age. You are always dated by your kids.

[@Celisar1]

Bobby Paluga Your last statement is right. Impossible to look young and sexy when your children need a walking frame. But of course most women *don't* lie about their age. Why are men so full of negative prejudices about women?! Sometimes I think they are afraid of them and therefore feel the need to belittle women.
