Maureen O’Hara receives an Honorary Award at the 2014 Governors Awards

Maureen O’Hara receives an Honorary Award at the 2014 Governors Awards in the Ray Dolby Ballroom at Hollywood & Highland in Hollywood, CA, Saturday, November 8.

[@maryhanger4519]

She didn't need the oscars to be a success, her life was living proof of her greatness.

[@jupru220]

She looks awesome at the age of 94! I'm so glad they gave her an Oscar before she died. Rest in peace, dear lady!

[@eharper7]

To be given an award by a fellow Irishman, who probably watched her growing up, and a fellow Western film actor, who probably looked to her as a mentor. That's awesome. God rest your soul, Ms. Maureen.

[@CrazyIrishDrunk1]

RIP Maureen O'Hara, a legendary actress and the last of the Golden era of Hollywood actresses. You were truly the pride of Ireland, Ms O'Hara and you will be deeply missed. RIP.

MAUREEN O' HARA --It has been a week since her passing, & the tributes are still coming. Her life is an inspiration to so many of us; especially those with an IRISH heritage.. In memory of my MOTHER I Salute Ms. O' HARA for the many Golden hours of entertainment you left behind . GOD BLESS YOU.

[@wdh47211]

RIP Maureen O'Hara. She died today at 95. Such memories of a wonderful career and a great spirit and entertainer.

[@jslasher1]

I've always had a soft spot in my heart for this legendary actress. O'Hara reeks of class; beauty in spades.

[@alfredodistefanolaulhe2212]

It's amazing that at her age, she looked very good. She was a great woman, actress, singer and friend (of John Wayne). R.I.P.

[@johnbrown8059]

There is a special pain we seem to feel at times like this when we watch a beloved star like Maureen O'Hara fading away before our eyes. I remember seeing John Wayne shortly before he died and watching him was like feeling a knife in my chest. Now Clint Walker has also joined them on the walk of stars in heaven...

[@jhonarextex2440]

Estamos de passagem e indo embora

[@sluggzmcgee6272]

By this time, she suffered 6 heart attacks, had a stroke, developed short-term memory loss, and suffered from type 2 diabetes. I'm glad she was given her flowers while she was alive to smell them. MAUREEN O'HARA (1920-2015)

Wonderful actress with great spirit and sense of humor. She was one of a kind. Rest in peace.

Dear Maureen, from us all in the Emerald Isle may I wish you peace and rest from here on in, and thankyou for being a true ambassador for Ireland on film during the Hollywood golden era. RIP.

great actress! Worked with Jimmy stewart, John Wayne, Charles laughton She was a legend you will be missed RiP Maureen O"Hara

[@orlathorburn297]

RIP to the legend that is Maureen O'Hara who passed away today at the age of 95. She was the last living actor from "The Golden Age of Hollywood" and as of this day there is no living cast member from 'The Quiet Man'. May she be just as feisty and inspiring as she was to all of us

[@nannon2001]

sorry your wrong on cast members Patrick wayne 78 still going strong and was in the horse race scenes on the horse cart

[@TheTerryE]

Apparently, she continued to speak and speak and the Academy took her mic away. The whole thing is awful. A movie legend like that deserves MUCH BETTER treatment!

[@angelavenable7308]

I'm watching the quiet man one my very favorites, I loved maureen ohara. it was her efforts primarily that got congress to give the Duke the medal of honor she told them it need only to say,John Wayne American " and that's what they did.

[@noelconnaughton3164]

Maureen O'Hara a true Legend of the screen and at 94 years old still has her Irish accent and she is such an inspiration for all young Irish actors and actresses

[@xxcharmed1xx]

Marvelous woman/actress. Why did they wait till she was wheelchair bound to give her this? The academy really has gone down the drain over the years!!

It's nice to see that she did get acknowledged! :) She well deserves this award! :)

[@burnbobquist8999]

If the two Johns would have been alive back then, they would smash the Oscar comitee for treating her like they did. The Oscars really have become an absolute shitshow.

[@dougreed2257]

Marvellous maureen o'hara, no actress can touch her now for beauty and class, bless her and Mr Wayne for the beauty of "the quiet man" 🙏😊

Always grateful to Maureen OHara.She was wonderful in the Quiet Man and other John Ford movies. Inamdar Mumbai.

[@gabrielhalston6726]

The Academy waited far too long to give this to Maureen, and the Academy never gave and honored Doris Day at all, either! She was the #1 box-office actress of the '50's and early '60's. Shame on Hollywood!!

[@TELEVISIONARCHIVES]

Thank you to Clint for doing this. The Duke would be proud

[@ednafenton7558]

TCMs Robert Osborne interviewed Miss O'hara while she was in a wheelchair. He & The audience asked her questions & she answered them with no problem. They let her talk. She didn't need a peice of paper. Great interview. Why didn't the Oscars let her say what she wanted to say without that paper, for as long as she wanted to. She deserves more respect than they gave her. Like Barbara Stanwyck, the older she got, the more beautiful she became. Such class. Sadly, Hollywood is done with you when you become older, no matter how great you are.

[@theolamp5312]

Maureen, it is us who are truly honored, by in some way, being able to share your presence. You & Peter were, for so many years, taken for granted by those in the industry who are supposed to be able to recognize true art.

[@DroneGirl1]

Well said Theo, She is a true art and what a Lady! Love her! :)

Gosh, it's so sad that they wait this long and the poor lady can't even get the speech right and enjoy herself. Shame on Oscar for doing this!

[@DroneGirl1]

Yeap they just should have left her to say whatever she wanted or just simple Thanks! :) Agree!

[@josephmullin5845]

+TheTerryE I think she has a problem with her speech from suffering a stroke back in 2005. The stroke might also be the reason she now uses a wheelchair to get around. Can anyone shed some light on this?

[@petemangum4542]

Did anyone notice Maureen in her old age reverted back to her Irish accent?

[@challengers222]

No offense to the actors of today but how come people like Jennifer Lawrence got an Oscar after a so so movie and being the star of the moment after a popular kids franchise that lasted 5 minutes and Maureen, a true legend in acting who put her whole life into it only gets to see one in her final years?? Not ok. The Oscars have become so corrupt.

[@mrjones29]

What kind of crazy editing is this Oscars??? No viewing of the opening standing ovation and no closing speech ovation to this greatest of vintage Hollywood screen beauties. Not the first time these Oscar clips deliberately cut out the ovation for some stupid reason. Part of the viewing is to see her peers lavish praise upon her and what is seen as much deserved praise for 60 years in the film business. Continue to RIP beautiful Maureen and for all the classic films you left behind for us all.

Clint was right when he said Maureen was the most beautiful woman in the world!

the resemblance of her imagine towards my grandmother maureen o'hara's personality, the way shes, sweet, kind, her sweet voice both resemblance the same expressions a little bit, a whole lot tbh which is clearly weird "face impressions" face resemblance to ! the way she talks, / how she expresses is a lot like her i swear to fucking god the resemblance both images they both passed away both have the same name, is a coincidence how maureen is so similar to my grandmother means everything to me

[@janflint7576]

Maureen was one of the best actress of all time her and John Wayne where great together never be two like them again

[@orangefox1231]

I love that woman :) And this is one of the best moments in cinema history. She was so damn good. A fluke that she was NEVER nominated.

[@theolamp5312]

Stephen Cogan Wow - You're right. I knew that she never won an Oscar. But, I assumed she would have been nominated several times. However, It seems to me to be more than a fluke. She was and still is a strong and opinionated woman & maybe that didn't serve her well at awards time back in the day. I have no proof of this. It's just a gut feeling. Best wishes - Ted

[@orangefox1231]

Oh I'm sure it played a role. Sex back then had to play a role and she was no whore or party girl. That's why Wayne LOVED HER But no question she deserved at least a nomination for the Quiet Man.

[@benoitcote7407]

RIP Maureen :(

I've been doing some Maureen O'Hare studies for a movie history class, gone back to see her films. I was so shocked to see that she had never been nominated for an Oscar, not even that most iconic role in The Quiet Man. I have to wonder if her , no smoking, no drinking, no sexual escapades had anything to do with that?

[@outinsider]

John Ford nixed her Oscar. Read about it in her autobiography 'Tis Herself.

[@michaelpower4372]

Maureen was a great friend of John Wayne's. But he wasn't liked for hes political views by some. So maybe that might have had something to do with Maureen not getting a nomination or getting an oscar. She should have got one for Quite Man.
