Maureen O'Hara filmography

John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara in The Quiet Man
John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara in The Quiet Man
"Director Budd Boetticher believed that Wayne's chemistry with O'Hara was "head and shoulders" over that with any other leading ladies. (p 172) Many people mistook O'Hara for Wayne's wife over the years. At airports all over the world, she met people who asked her if John Wayne was coming too ... One time when she was waiting in line to see Wayne's film Cahill, a woman came up to her and said, "Oh, Mrs. Wayne, your son [Michael Wayne] just went in." (p 173)1

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes

Overall: Five times expansion today. It’s an ingenious use of a snippet from the page as a link to Maureen O'Hara filmography, and I don’t see any DYK rule against it. Strong image in the public domain and strong hook. All points check out, ready to go. Moonraker (talk) 09:08, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

Note to promoter: It may be appropriate to run America, Why I Love Her in the same set as this, per WT:DYK#John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara. Yoninah (talk) 17:44, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
