Podcast appearances and mentions of maureen o'hara

Vuelve John Ford al podcast, y es que tras nuestro episodio dedicado a El último hurra nos quedamos con ganas de traer más de su filmografía. Nos hemos reunido en un pub irlandés para hablar de una de las grandes obras maestras del genio: El hombre tranquilo. La película que le valió su cuarto Oscar, es además una muestra de que como muchos piensan, no solo hacía westerns. La película que tiene a unos inconmensurables John Wayne y Maureen O´Hara, nos muestra una historia de amor y de vuelta a los orígenes. Guillermo, Asier y Salva Vargas os transportan a la Irlanda idílica que Ford añoraba conocer algún día.

The Deadly Trout Creek Land SquabbleEpisode 281 is dedicated to listener and patron Kimberlee Anderson, who shares a hometown with the defendants in this case. Although first reports said that Mrs. Alice Harris was a widow, it turns out she was a divorcee whose ex-husband was of THE Harris family of Harrisville, Utah. This story seems like it could’ve been a classic John Ford western, a land dispute in the Utah desert that turns deadly. I think maybe Maureen O’Hara as Alice Harris and Robert Mitchum as the wisecracking Tackman.

I sat down w actor, singer, dancer, and teacher Maureen O'Hara, who graduated from UWM in Musical Theatre. She spent a year w the Open Jar Institute in New York post-grad. We discussed Maureen's beginnings performing as an Irish dancer, her experience singing the National Anthem at a Brewers game, discipline, the production she was in cut short from the pandemic, and her quest for Broadway. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ben-slowey/support

Book:  The Hunchback of Notre-Dame              by Victor Hugo ​ Film:    The Hunchback of Notre-Dame              (1939)   Published in 1831, Victor Hugo would make a stand against Gothic buildings being modernised or torn down to make way for more modern buildings.  Notre-Dame is a main character within the text creating long standing narrative about the famous building that doesn’t really add to the story.    In 1939, William Dieterle would direct and the film stars Charles Laughton and Maureen O’Hara in the starring roles.  The film would tack on a happy ending that most film adaptions still use creating a romantic dramatic film.  Paris and Notre-Dame were built on a western ranch in Culver City and the film would have the essence of World War II as it stirs up feelings of Jews displacement during this time.  The film would become a box office hit.  The film was made for $1.8 million and considered one of the most expensive films by RKO at that time.   We are joined by Shanta Pasika, Hexane Arcane.  Make sure you watch her show and share, comment, like and subscribe.  She can be found at the following links:   www.hexenarcane.com hexenarcanehorror@gmail.com youtube.com/hexenarcane Hexen Arcane on Amazon Prime in US and UK https://www.facebook.com/hexenarcane     Opening Credits; Introduction (.51); Plot Synopsis (10.21); Forming the Plot (11.52); Book Thoughts (16.44); Final Thoughts of Book (1:02.52); Introducing a Film (1:08.18); Film Trailer (1:09.07);  Lights, Camera, Action (1:10.51); Epilogue (1:37.18); End Credits (1:47.05); Closing Credits (1:48.50)   Closing Credits – Of Monster and Men by Human from the album Beneath the Skin.  Copyright 2015 Sony ATV Music Publishing   Original Music copyrighted 2020 Dan Hughes Music and the Literary License Podcast.    All rights reserved.  Copyright reserved.  

Book Vs Movie: “The Homecoming: A Christmas Story” (1971) The Basis of the Waltons TV Series Started as a TV Movie! The Margos decided to get into the Depression-era holiday spirit with a look at “The Homecoming: A Christmas Story” which was written by author & creator of The Waltons TV series--Earl Hamner, Jr.  Hamner has a fascinating career as a writer with several scripts of “The Twilight Zone” including the famous The Bewitchin’ Pool, (the very last episode of the original American series.) He also created 80s TV nighttime soap, Falcon Crest!) In between, he wrote the 1961 novel Spencer’s Mountain which became a movie starring Henry Fonda and Maureen O’Hara as Clay and Olivia Spencer. They play a couple living in the Grand Teton Mountains in Wyoming and their eldest son “Clay-Boy” is set to become the first in his family to go to college.  Ten years later he wrote, “The Homecoming” which told a similar story with a twist--the Walton family was based in the Blue Ridge mountains during the depression. The TV movie was on December 19, 1971, in the U.S. and was such a big hit--it was immediately turned into a TV series.  Hamner narrated every episode which ran for almost ten years and started the phrase “goodnight John-Boy!”  In this episode, the Margos talk about the author, his original novella, the 1971 TV movie, and try to decide which we like better. Have a listen! In this ep the Margos discuss: The interesting life of Earl Hamner, Jr. The casting of Patricia Neal as Olivia Walton and why she was not hired for the series The major differences between the movie and novella The cast: Patricia Neal (Olivia Walton,) Richard Thomas (John-Boy Walton,) Edgar Bergen (Grandpa Walton,) Dorothy Stickney (Grandma Walton, ) Cleavon Little (Hawthorne Dooley,) Andrew Duggan (Big John Walton,) and Judy Norton (Mary Ellen Walton.)  Clips used: The Homecoming  trailer  An early ad for The Homecoming Olivia Walton is suspicious of John-Boy Earl Hamner, Jr opening scene narration Join our Patreon page to help support the show! https://www.patreon.com/bookversusmovie  Book Vs.

In December, 1947, about 6 months after the feature film was released, the entire starring cast from the film reunited one time and one time only for a tremendous radio adaptation.  So for first and last time on radio together, Maureen O’Hara, John Payne, Natalie Wood, and Edmund Gwenn as Kris Kringle starring in the Lux Radio Theatre production about a kindly old man who may be the real Santa Claus. Miracle on 34th Street was broadcast on December 22, 1947.

On Christmas Day TG4 are showing a new documentary about one of Ireland’s greatest ever Hollywood Stars, Maureen O’Hara. It features people who knew her personally and one of those is author and actor Johnny Nicoletti. He joined Ryan on the line from LA to talk about the life of the legendary actor.

What would be the holidays without our favorite holiday movies? These movies hold a special place in my heart, and they still pretty much make up a cornerstone of my Christmas traditions, and some of the traditions that I’ve imparted to my children.It’s a Wonderful Life came on television seemingly on every station at least once a day. At any given moment, you could easily find a station that was running that movie. To me it still represents one of the great holiday movies of all time.This idea that your life, no matter how small you think it is, represents an integral part interlocked with all the lives around you is a tale as old as time. And it’s a central theme that I’ve used in writing before. No matter how insignificant you think you are, you leave a fingerprint on everyone you talk to, email, or associate with in any way. You are a piece of them, and they are a piece of you. Either of those ingredients suddenly go missing from the equation, the result isn’t right.Miracle on 34th Street Most people don’t know this, but the version with Natalie Wood and Maureen O’Hara was not the original version. But it is perhaps the most famous. For me one of the things that stands out is the central character of Santa Claus, played by Edmund Gwenn, and this willing suspension of reality that Santa Claus truly was there with them. He is very much what I believe Santa Claus would be like in the real world. I especially like the fact that when he runs into his troubles at the department store, after striking Mr. Sawyer on the head, he displays a certain type of despair over the situation. He feels like the world doesn’t need him anymore, or perhaps it’s more likely that the world has just simply discarded him. A feeling I think we’re all too familiar with sometimes in our lives today. He needed to be reminded, just like we have to sometimes, that we are valuable and loved.A Christmas CarolI have seen about 100 different versions of the story. Anywhere from stage productions, some of them better than others, to television adaptations to include Bill Murray’s, Scrooged. The two stage performances that stand out for me are the ones which involve my family.But as a child the version which I saw on TV most often, and what I would come to understand as one of the more true to the original work when seen on television is A Christmas Carol starring George C. Scott. He is, at least for me, the quintessential Scrooge. The portrayal is cold, mean, and unforgiving. A man whose heart is so hardened and so chilling that the only thing that could change him is the visit of four specters.I think the most poignant part of A Christmas Carol is this idea that the spirit of Christmas is something that shouldn’t exist in us just one day a year. The idea of charity, humanity, love, and an open heart are ideas we should have all year long. But the movie also reminds us that being able to open our hearts in such a way is a hard thing to do.A Christmas Story Yes, you’ll shoot your eye out. Any of you have seen videos of my renovated office know that behind me, on the wall, is an official Daisy red Ryder BB gun, 80th anniversary edition. And yes, it’s one of my favorite presents ever.The movie is set in Hammond Indiana, which is about 20 minutes away from where I grew up. While the year in which the movie takes place is certainly earlier than when I was growing up, there’s a lot of symbology and references that are very specific to those of us that grew up in that Chicago metro area.Thanks for spending time with some of my favorite memories. In case I haven’t said it, happy holidays to you and yours. -Bryan the writerSupport the show (http://paypal.me/BryanNowak)

What could be more sublime than to sit back in your own home on Culture Night and have the internationally renowned pianist David Syme play for you on his famous grand piano?!

Recién llegado a la ciudad costera, el profesor sustituto camina por el espigón del puerto. Sus ojeras permanentes y su expresión abatida dan cuenta de algo que nunca pudo superar. Es como si Dominici hubiera perdido toda ilusión y se moviera por impulsos. Aún le gusta el juego, ama el arte, el misterio en una pintura, en un poema. En el aula se sentirá atraído por una alumna muy bella, le regalará un libro de Stendhal con su propio nombre y la acompañará a ver la Madonna del Parto. Los personajes principales de esta película son náufragos. El profesor, su pareja, y Vanina, la muchacha de gesto lánguido. Su mujer (Lea Massari), siempre acostada, depresiva, le amenaza con suicidarse si la abandona. Tal como responde el propio Dominici, no están juntos por costumbre, sino por desesperación. Una de las secuencias magistrales del film tiene lugar en la discoteca. En un juego de miradas, al son de la romántica balada de Ornella Vanoni los personajes se observan, se desafían. La expresión azul e impasible de Alain Delon suaviza el tono fúnebre general del largometraje, que se asienta en el mismo título, el libro de poemas que ha escrito Dominici. La primera noche del descanso, cuando ya ni se sueña, porque no hay recuerdos ni deseos, por tanto no hay dolor. Dominici se reencontrará con su idealizada musa una noche de tormenta, la besará casi con la misma pasión con que John Wayne besó a Maureen O´Hara en las praderas irlandesas. El penúltimo film del poco reconocido Valerio Zurlini es un melodrama con tono existencial y pocas esperanzas. La apatía del protagonista, solo interesado en encender un cigarrillo tras otro, hasta que encuentra a alguien aún más perdida, Vanina. La muchacha oculta una turbia relación con un novio que ejerce de proxeneta. Será la tabla de salvación o el final del profesor. O quizá este hombre ya caminaba muerto mucho antes de entrar en el instituto de Rimini, un fantasma abatido en la niebla. Raúl Gallego Esta noche asistimos a las honras fúnebres de un hombre que añora la quietud... José Miguel Moreno, Zacarías Cotán, Fran Romero y Raúl Gallego.

Irish-born redhead Maureen O'Hara knew from an early age she wanted to act. After years of training, she was finally "discovered," if you will, as ayoung woman by Charles Laughton, considered one of thye world's finest actors. Her first movie came in 1938, and it launched an award-winning career that spanned decades. I met her in 2004. She had just written a memoir that included her recollections of working with some of the greatest names in movie history: director John Ford. Her longtime friend and co-star John Wayne. Even John Candy.

John Wayne is, of course, synonymous with the classic Hollywood Western. Yet, the first movie of his we're covering on this show is actually a romantic comedy. Wayne reteamed with director John Ford and Maureen O'Hara for 1952's The Quiet Man. And the shift in genre paid off for the trio behind 1950 Western Rio Grande. The Quiet Man turned out to be one of the year's biggest box office hits. And we were honored to welcome film critic Caitlin Kennedy to the show to discuss the movie. We'll discuss why The Quiet Man has endured after all these years, how the central relationship dynamic has aged, and what makes The Quiet Man Caitlin's favorite film. SYNOPSIS After accidentally killing an opponent in the ring, boxer Sean Thornton (John Wayne) leaves America and returns to his native Ireland, hoping to buy his family's homestead and live in peace. In doing so, he runs afoul of Will Danaher (Victor McLaglen), who long coveted the property. Spitefully, Will objects when his fiery sister, Mary Kate (Maureen O'Hara), begins a romance with Sean, and refuses to hand over her dowry. Mary Kate refuses to consummate the marriage until Sean retrieves the money.

O nosso programa de hoje é sobre a cineasta estadunidense Dorothy Arzner, uma das pioneiras do cinema. Ela nasceu em 1897 e começou a trabalhar como diretora no final da década de 20, ainda no cinema mudo. Fez a transição para o cinema sonoro e trabalhou até 1943, sendo a única mulher que dirigiu filmes em Hollywood ao longo da década de 1930. Focamos em seu filme A Vida é Uma Dança (Dance, Girl, Dance, 1940), estrelado por Maureen O'Hara e Lucille Ball. O programa é apresentado por Isabel Wittmann, Camila Vieira e Kel Gomes.

Although many critics dismiss A Woman's Secret (1949) as a misfire in the Ray canon, it gives viewers something we don't see often enough on the big screen--an intense relationship between two women that men find inscrutable. The coded affair between Maureen O'Hara and Gloria Grahame sours and ends up with a shot fired. Unfortunately, production was distracted by the drama of Howard Hughes's takeover bid for RKO, which resulted in a delayed release at the box office.

Best Pick with John Dorney, Jessica Regan and Tom Salinsky Episode 60: How Green Was My Valley (1941) Released 6 May 2020 For this episode, we watched How Green Was My Valley, written by Philip Dunne, from the novel by Richard Llewellyn and directed by John Ford who won his third Best Director Oscar for it.

To help listeners get through the “stay home” blues, Movie Addict Headquarters has put together fifteen minutes of sheer musical FUN. Four funny ladies of film are featured in this special episode. The talented quartet includes Madeline Kahn, Julie Andrews, Lucille Ball and Gilda Radner. Each one performs a silly song guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Madeline Kahn sings You’d Be Surprised, a relatively unknown Irving Berlin tune she performed at Carnegie Hall as part of Berlin’s 100th Birthday Celebration in 1988. The song was also sung by Olga San Juan in Blue Skies, a 1946 movie starring Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby. Julie Andrews warbles A Spoon Full of Sugar Makes the Medicine Go Down from the original Mary Poppins in 1964.  Robert B. Sherman and Richard M. Sherman composed this memorable ditty. Lucille Ball belts out Mother, What Do I Do Now, her comedy burlesque number in Dance, Girl, Dance, an amusing 1940s film co-starring Maureen O’Hara. The music and lyrics for this raucous number are by Chet Forrest and Bob Wright.  Gilda Radner sings and taps her way into our hearts in I Love To Be Unhappy, an unforgettable performance from Gilda Live from New York, her 1979 stage show.  

The original film (which was based on the 1947 novel) that provided the inspiration for the 80s sitcom Mr. Belvedere. Starring Clifton Webb, Robert Young, and Maureen O'Hara.

Sometimes a younger person can teach a lot to someone older. Regis Toomey plays Officer Mac Denton, a hardened cop who no one wants to partner with except a rookie, Ed Thomas (Walter Tetley), whose compassion and sense of understanding helps transform his elder colleague. Originally broadcast in 1947 and hosted by award winning actress Maureen O'Hara(Miracle on 34th Street). Family Theater Productions remastered the show, with an introduction from Father David Guffey,

Since the listeners "demand" a Christmas episode, we had to release an episode featuring a traditional Christmas film - the 1947 holiday classic Miracle on 34th Street starring Maureen O'Hara, Edmund Gwenn, Natalie Wood and John Payne. This film is a staple in Deana Marie's holiday movie catalog and, of course, it's a first for Jeremy.  There's loads of holiday cheer, more laughs than ever and some of the best trivia we've ever shared.  Happy holidays to you and yours!

In this episode of Stories of Hope in Hard Times, Tamara K. Anderson interviews Richard Paul Evans. Did you know NY Times Bestselling author Richard Paul Evans was bullied as a child or that he lived in a home infested with rats? Listen as he shares the stories which shaped him to become one of the most loved and heart-stirring authors today.Richard Paul Evans: Lessons from Brokenness, Bullying, and Tourette’sRichard Paul Evans BioWhen Richard Paul Evans (Rick) wrote the #1 global best-seller, The Christmas Box, he never intended on becoming an internationally known author. The story was written as an expression of love for his then two young daughters. Three years later, this quiet, simple story of parental love and the true meaning of Christmas made history when it became simultaneously the #1 hardcover and paperback book in the nation. Since then, more than 8 million copies of The Christmas Box have been printed. Eight of Rick’s books were produced into television movies and have starred such well-known actors as Maureen O’Hara, Rob Lowe, Christopher Lloyd, James Earl Jones, Naomi Watts and Academy award winners Vanessa Redgrave and Ellen Burstyn. He has since written 40 consecutive New York Times bestsellers and is one of the few authors in history to have hit both the fiction and non-fiction bestseller lists. There are currently more than 30 million copies of his books in print.Rick won the American Mothers book award, two first place Storytelling World awards, The Romantic Times Best Women’s Novel of the Year Award, the German Leserpreis Gold Award for Romance, is a five-time recipient of the Religion Communicator’s Council’s Wilbur Award and more than a dozen other awards for his young adult series Michael Vey.During the fall of 1998, Rick founded The Christmas Box International, an organization devoted to maintaining emergency shelters and providing services and resources for abused, neglected or homeless children, teens and young adults. To date, more than 100,000 children have been served by the Christmas Box House facilities and programs.Rick lives in Salt Lake City, Utah, with his wife, Keri. They have been blessed with five children and two grandchildren.A Personal ConnectionRick has become a great friend and mentor to me. I went to his first Premier Author Training almost three years ago. We had a lot of fun and I learned so much. I felt like I was drinking out of a fire hose just with the amount of knowledge he imparted on not only writing but on marketing books.The King of CrepesA little known fact about Rick is he is the crepe-making King. He first learned to make crepes at a friend’s house in Seattle. He then decided everyone should know how to make three things really well. So, Rick know how to make three things: French toast, crepes and fried rice.Writing from the HeartI love the ending of Rick’s latest book, Noel Street, as I think it gives us a picture of his life. He says, “I’ve always thought of God as an artist. One who uses our hopes, fears, dreams, and especially our tears to paint on the canvas of our souls rendering something beautiful. The hardest part I suppose is waiting to see what he’s up to.” So many of Rick’s books dive into people who are broken and waiting to see what God is painting on the canvas of their lives. He seems to write from a personal place of brokenness.Rick gave us a sneak-peek into the next book he is working on which will launch in 2020. He is taking his writings and blogs from the past 25 years and compiling these personal stories of things which have made him who he is. Some of these blogs have been read by millions of people, so they are very compelling.Lessons from Hard Times1. A Broken ChildhoodThe year 1970 was a really bad year for Rick’s family. They lived in Arcadia, California and his father lost his job and was blackballed in the community where he worked in Beverly Hills. As he tried to provide for his wife and eight children, things quickly went from bad to worse. They lost everything. Eventually his dad found a job teaching in Pocatello, Idaho and moved there with half of the family. To get the family back together, they finally moved into his grandmother’s 70-year old home. The home was next to bars, and pawn shops. It was in bad place, but it was empty, except for the rats. It was filled with rats.On a side note, people always ask Rick why they feed people to the rats in Michael Vey, and it goes back to his fear as a child that he would be eaten by rats. He would lay there at night and hear the rats running around after hearing his older brothers explain the rats would eat him if he got out of bed.So, their family situation was a perfect storm. They had no money. His dad, who was in hospital management was now doing construction work and was gone all day. And his mother began exhibiting the first severe signs mental illness. She became highly suicidal and was incredibly depressed. She would basically stay in her room for days at a time.BullyingSo Rick basically had no parents. He was eight or nine years old at the time. It was the same year his Tourette’s Syndrome manifested. The first Saturday in their new home, his mom took the three youngest and dropped them off at a dollar theater. As they walked out of the theatre, they were surrounded by a gang of kids who wanted to see them get beaten up by the local bully who was about a foot taller than them. Finally Rick said he would fight them, but his older brother couldn’t stand for his little brother to be defending them and he walked over, pushed Rick aside and his brother actually beat the kid up. Rick just remembers him kicking the bully in the face on the ground, and the bully screaming for mercy. Of course everyone was laughing because everyone loves to see a bully get their due. Then the crowd dispersed. His mom then pulled up in the station wagon and they just got in and didn’t say a word about the fight.In the midst of all this upheaval there was also a tremendous amount of bullying going on at school. One day Rick was so tired of being bullied he just stayed home. His mother never knew because she never came out of her bedroom. To make it worse he had this soul-crushing teacher named Mrs. Covey, whom the kids called Covey the Ogre. To give you an example of what she was like, a week before Christmas, she asked all the children in her classroom, “How many of you believe in Santa Claus?” Most of the kids raised their hand. Then Mrs. Covey said, “Don’t be stupid. There is no Santa Claus. Your parents lied to you.”Mrs. Covey, the OgreSo, their teacher just dashed their beliefs. That day Rick went home and ventured into his mom’s darkened bedroom. He said, “Mom, Mrs. Covey said there is no Santa Claus.” Rick’s mom responded, “Rick, Santa Claus is the spirit of giving.” He countered with, “But he has a reindeer and sleigh, right? And he comes down the chimney, right?” She just looked at him and sadly admitted, “No, there is no Santa Claus.” Rick’s little nine-year-old heart was broken. He kept thinking–wait a second, faith, goodness, and good people are supposed to prevail, not the nasty ones. So he looked at his mom for a moment and said, “Well, did you lie about Jesus too?”A few months later Rick was walking home from school and got beaten up by some boys who took his only treasure–his Mickey Mouse watch. It was the only thing he owned and treasured.“Ricky Evans, The Great”The next day Rick was sitting in class working on his homework and he wrote down “Ricky Evans” on the top of it. And then something possessed him to write “the great” next to his name. Now, he was not arrogant. He had no reason to believe he was anything. At this point in his life, he had no parents involved. He had no friends. No one who would defend him from the bullies. He was nothing. But for a few seconds, it felt good to write “Ricky Evans, the Great,” and turn the paper in. The next day he got the paper back and Mrs. Covey had erased “the great” and wrote three of her own “shame on you.” She then got up and gave a lecture on pride and sin.Rick hasn’t seen Mrs. Covey since he left fourth grade. He is sure she is long dead because back then it felt like she 200 years old. But he would like to see her and look in her eyes and say, “That little boy went on to reach tens of millions of people with his words. His movies were some of the biggest in the world on television. And he started a shelter that helped house more than a hundred thousand abused children. He was invited to the White House and he danced in the Green Room. But that Ricky Evans was greater than Richard Paul Evans. Ricky had nothing and yet he got up every day and got himself ready. He had gruell for breakfast and walked to school every single day. And he just did his best amidst all the abuse and the violence and just tried to be a good kid. Rickey Evans was great. And you, woman, are just mean.”Lesson: Don’t Let People Erase Your GreatnessThe lesson Rick learned from all of this is we all have people our life who are walking around with these erasers like Mrs. Covey. They try to erase the greatness from our lives. And the biggest lesson Rick has learned is, “Don’t listen to them. Don’t give them that power. Don’t wait around for people to validate who you are because you’ll be waiting a long time.” Rick continues to plead that we “tell kids that they’re great.” To clarify, he isn’t talking about hubris or pride. He just wants us to “acknowledge their intrinsic value and worth. That’s what they need.” Tell them, “You are great and beautiful in your soul–in spite of your bad choices, decisions, and your circumstance. Greatness resides within you and you don’t get it out by erasing it.”2. Tourette’s SyndromeRick wasn’t officially diagnosed with Tourette’s until he was 40 years old. His diagnosis came because his son Michael has Tourette’s. People used to ask him when he was younger if he had Tourette’s and he always wondered why because he wasn’t swearing. He did have the impulse to swear, but he didn’t. What he didn’t understand was only 10% of people with Tourette’s have coprolalia (or swear all the time).When Rick’s son Michael was two-years-old he began swearing. He and his wife wondered, “Where did you even hear these words?” They realized something was going on with him. So, Rick wrote the Michael Vey series just for his son. Rick confesses, “I wanted to make Tourette’s more mainstream because it’s always just a joke.” People swear and then they laugh and say, “It’s my Tourette’s syndrome.” Rick continues, “Well, some of us actually do have Tourette’s” and tic or twitch.The Anonymous LetterOne day Rick spoke at a church about grace and God’s love for us. Afterwards he got this anonymous letter from a woman who wrote, “You have no place in the house of God. You have no place speaking. You’re obviously a sinful man. I can see through it because I saw you were ticking, blinking, and twitching.”Shining Light on Disabilities–The Viral BlogIn response to her anonymous letter, Rick wrote a blog, “To the woman at church who wrote me an anonymous letter.” In that letter he explained yes, he is a sinner, just like she was because, “We’re all broken.” He then went on to explain, “That’s not why I was twitching. I was twitching because I have Tourette’s syndrome.” Rick wrote this blog and posted it on Facebook. He got up the next day and had 80,000 shares and went viral. People wanted to help find that woman. Rick actually hoped she would see it.In his letter, Rick wrote, “In all honesty, I must admit that I was angered by your letter. But not for me–I am far beyond your reach. I am angry for those children who are still trying to figure out who they are: children who are teased and ridiculed and bullied by cruel, self-righteous people like you. I am angered for those sweet, innocent children, who would rather die than show their tics, because you are so eager to let them know how unlovable and imperfect they are. And some of them do take their precious lives. Yes, this makes me very angry. The other day, at a book signing, a young woman I had never met before, put her arms around me and told me that she loved me. I asked her why. She told me that she had Tourettes and the kids at school made fun of her. But now many of her schoolmates are reading my books and, knowing that I have Tourettes, are now treating her better. I told her that she is not her Tourettes. I told her that I loved her too.”Lesson: The Greatest Disability is the Inability to LoveRick concluded his letter by saying, “Dear anonymous, I hope you read this letter. I hope it opens your eyes. Or, better yet, your heart. But whether you change or not, remember this: we, the “abnormal” are not the ones to be pitied. The greatest disability is the inability to love those who are different than you. May God Bless you with His unfathomable and unconditional love.”3. Look for The Hand of GodRick likes to remember the words of Kierkegaard when looking back on his life. He said, “We can understand our life looking backwards, but we must live it forwards.” Rick says he clearly sees the hand of God when he thinks back on everything that has happened to him.With his first book, he took the story to a local publisher but it was rejected. He recalls being so disappointed and discouraged. But now he realizes that rejection was God looking down and saying, “No, I have big things in store.”Always Trust GodBeyond the path that his career took, Rick has felt a personal relationship with God throughout his life. He says that when he was going through hard time he always trusted God. He knew God would not drop Him. There have been times he wondered why he has been hurt, but now he understands. Those things he went through made him who he is and have given him empathy and heart. Because of this empathy people read his work and feel understood.The Power of Writing and HealingAfter Rick was diagnosed with Tourette’s, his diagnosing doctor (who wasn’t actually taking clients), told Rick he wanted to return the favor to him and took him on. Rick wondered what favor he was referring to, as they had never met.The doctor then told Rick he and his wife had lost their only child. His wife had become very depressed and the doctor worried she might take her life. Neither he nor psychologists could help her.Then this woman read one of Rick’s books and it gave her hope. The doctor saw her smile again–for the first time in years. This woman knew Rick was another person who had truly suffered, so she felt she could trust him since his books are written from the heart. She began to heal after reading one of his books.Lesson: There is a PurposeGod can see the purpose of things we don’t understand in our lives. Keep trusting Him and someday, you will understand and it will all make sense.4. How I Saved My MarriageRick also writes many of his blog posts from the heart. One particular blog he remembers is his post, “How I Saved My Marriage.” This post went viral very quickly, but his wife Keri didn’t appreciate Rick had written about their struggles.Rick and Keri went to dinner a few nights later night, with Keri still upset. They met a couple while out at dinner who thanked them for saving their marriage. They had been on the verge of divorce but read Rick’s post and decided to save their marriage. Rick started hearing from marriage counselors who said they were using his post as a resource for their clients, as well as friends saying it saved their children’s marriages.Writing the TruthOne day Keri told Rick she felt he shares too much. Finally, Rick apologized, but asked if he anything he had written wasn’t true. Keri acknowledged everything he wrote was true.Lesson: Share TruthRick has always felt it is important to share truth with the world. He says he doesn’t know any other way to write. He then told Keri if he had to choose between her and the talent God had given him to write and share the truth, he would choose God. Keri agreed, and he has to continued to write the truth. This became a very defining moment for him.5. Tips for Hard TimesRick knows we don’t always feel hope during the Christmas season. But he explains if you are in a bad place there are a few tips you should remember:a. Remember life is cyclical. As soon as we get up, life knocks us down again. And if we are down, life will pick back up again.b. Hope comes from faith in God. Keep that faith–even when things are hard.c. Find the stars. While the reality is we will all suffer, Rick says his hope that there is something better is what keeps him going. “The really dark nights is where we see the stars.”d. Show kindness to strangers.e. Choose to love. We can make the choice to love.f. Be worthy of your sufferings. Rick remembers the quote from Viktor Frankl about choosing to be worthy of our sufferings. It took awhile for Rick to understand what that meant. We can’t take away suffering, but we can learn from it and keep going through it. It will refine us and make us better.Poignant Bible StoryFor Rick one of the most poignant part of all scripture is when Jesus Christ was nailed to the cross. While there he looking up to heaven and asked, why have you deserted me? (Matthew 27:46). In those greatest moments, we ask why, just like Christ? Christ knew he was alone. Rick believes there are times God leaves us and says, “No, I’m going to let you have this. I’m going to let you walk alone. I’m going to let you have the greatness and understand what it is to be great.”In the Screwtape letters CS Lewis share some wisdom when the Demons are talking. They say something like, “Nowhere is our cause of evil more threatened than when a man, nailed to a cross looks up into a universe devoid of God, say, why have you deserted me? And still he marches on. And still he holds fast to truth. That shakes the very core of all evil.”Lesson: You are Not Deserted or AloneThere are a few moment of life where we have nothing, where we don’t see a reason to go on. But we should remember to keep going–that we will not fail. “We are not deserted. We are not alone even when it feels like it.”6. Determination, Prayer, and MiraclesRick remembers one of the hardest times of his life when it felt like he was crawling on glass. His daughter Jenna even asked him, “Where is God? Why has he left you alone? Dad, you are carrying this by yourself.”Rick was pleading with God and trying to keep his son alive. He told God, “I am doing everything. I don’t know how much longer I can take this. Keri has finally broken down. It’s just me. I don’t know how long I can carry the entire family and all of this. We need help.” After telling God he had done everything he knelt down and told God, “It’s in your hands. He’s your son too. I have given everything.”After this heartfelt prayer, Rick went to the hospital and had an incredible experience with his son. An incredible miracle happened. Everything switched and it was such a powerful and faith promoting thing.The great ending this story is that now Rick and his son are buddies. He is so proud of him, what he’s accomplished, and what he’s overcome. Michael has told him, “One of my sisters is a pediatric nurse, another does makeup for movies, another is an international bestselling author. The other is a scientist. And then there’s me.” When Michael told him this, Rick looked at him and said, “And you have accomplished more than all of them. You have climbed a higher mountain than all of them.”God’s Message–Keep Going, Don’t QuitAnother example of this was when the board voted to close the Christmas Box House due to lack of funding. Rick left the meeting for a moment to pray and ask God if he could please quit. And he received a distinct impression, “If you fail, no one will succeed.” So Rick returned to the meeting and said no, they weren’t going to quit. He told everyone he would accept their resignations but he would not be quitting. Everyone stayed.Now, the Christmas Box House has helped more than one hundred thousand children. Rick is extremely grateful God did not let him quit.Lesson: Get on Your KneesHe says his best advice for finding hope when discouraged is getting on your knees. We may feel at times God has left us all alone. There are times when we say, “I’m done,” but God says, “No, you’re not.”The greatest times in Rick’s life were not when we was getting an award. They were private victories. They were times when he was on his knees and chose not to quit and kept going with God’s help.Contact InfoRick’s website is RichardPaulEvans.com and you can also find his page on Facebook. You can find his most recent book, Noel Street, on Amazon or at Barnes and Noble.

This is a snippet from Breaking Walls Episode 98: Christmas Week 1947 with Radio's Biggest Stars ———————————— The Lux Radio Theater was CBS’ Monday night centerpiece, on live coast-to-coast for one hour at 9PM eastern time. Lux’ 1947-48 season rating was 31.2—the highest on radio. It was heard by roughly thirty million people. On Monday, December 22nd, Lux presented an adaptation of that year’s smash hit, Miracle on 34th Street, starring the original cast—Maureen O’Hara, John Payne, Natalie Wood, and Edmund Gwynn. Although Lux was far and away radio’s highest rated show, the entire Monday block was dominated by CBS. At 8PM from New York, Inner Sanctum Mysteries was live on the air. My Friend Irma had a rating of 22.2. Arthur Godfrey’s Talent Scouts also had a twenty-point rating, at 8:30PM, and The Screen Guild Players went on at 10:30PM. Although NBC was dominated in the Monday night ratings, on December 22nd, 1947, The Cavalcade of America broadcast the annual DuPont Chorus Christmas episode. Ratings battles were put aside while all those involved in the broadcasting industry celebrated the radio camaraderie.

Did you know NY Times Bestselling author Richard Paul Evans was bullied as a child or that he lived in a home infested with rats? Listen as he shares the stories which shaped him to become one of the most loved and heart-stirring authors today. Richard Paul Evans: Lessons from Brokenness, Bullying, and Tourette'sRichard Paul Evans BioWhen Richard Paul Evans (Rick) wrote the #1 global best-seller, The Christmas Box, he never intended on becoming an internationally known author. The story was written as an expression of love for his then two young daughters. Three years later, this quiet, simple story of parental love and the true meaning of Christmas made history when it became simultaneously the #1 hardcover and paperback book in the nation. Since then, more than 8 million copies of The Christmas Box have been printed. Eight of Rick’s books were produced into television movies and have starred such well-known actors as Maureen O’Hara, Rob Lowe, Christopher Lloyd, James Earl Jones, Naomi Watts and Academy award winners Vanessa Redgrave and Ellen Burstyn. He has since written 40 consecutive New York Times bestsellers and is one of the few authors in history to have hit both the fiction and non-fiction bestseller lists. There are currently more than 30 million copies of his books in print. Rick won the American Mothers book award, two first place Storytelling World awards, The Romantic Times Best Women’s Novel of the Year Award, the German Leserpreis Gold Award for Romance, is a five-time recipient of the Religion Communicator’s Council’s Wilbur Award and more than a dozen other awards for his young adult series Michael Vey. During the fall of 1998, Rick founded The Christmas Box International, an organization devoted to maintaining emergency shelters and providing services and resources for abused, neglected or homeless children, teens and young adults. To date, more than 100,000 children have been served by the Christmas Box House facilities and programs. Rick lives in Salt Lake City, Utah, with his wife, Keri. They have been blessed with five children and two grandchildren. A Personal ConnectionRick has become a great friend and mentor to me. I went to his first Premier Author Training (https://www.facebook.com/RPEPremierAuthorTraining/) almost three years ago. We had a lot of fun and I learned so much. I felt like I was drinking out of a fire hose just with the amount of knowledge he imparted on not only writing but on marketing books. The King of CrepesA little known fact about Rick is he is the crepe-making King. He first learned to make crepes at a friend’s house in Seattle. He then decided everyone should know how to make three things really well. So, Rick know how to make three things: French toast, crepes and fried rice. Writing from the HeartI love the ending of Rick's latest book, Noel Street (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PSKFTSJ/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1) , as I think it gives us a picture of his life. He says, "I've always thought of God as an artist. One who uses our hopes, fears, dreams, and especially our tears to paint on the canvas of our souls rendering something beautiful. The hardest part I suppose is waiting to see what he's up to." So many of Rick’s books dive into people who are broken and waiting to see what God is painting on the canvas of their lives. He seems to write from a personal place of brokenness. Rick gave us a sneak-peek into the next book he is working on which will launch in 2020. He is taking his writings and blogs from the past 25 years and compiling these personal stories of things which have made him who he is. Some of these blogs have been read by millions of people, so they are very compelling. Lessons from Hard Times1. A Broken ChildhoodThe year 1970 was a really bad year for Rick’s family. They lived in Arcadia, California and his father lost his job and was blackballed in the community where he worked in Beverly...

De todos los verdes posibles, de todas las jóvenes rebeldes, de todos los romances del cine... Es verde el tren que llega a la estación de Castle Town, allí se apea el hombre tranquilo, en busca de su paraíso perdido. Antes de llegar a Innisfree, el pueblo soñado, Sean Thornton divisa la casa que recreó de pequeño, escucha la dulce voz de su madre. "El camino serpenteando por la pradera hasta llegar a la iglesia..." Siempre había rosas en aquella casa, la Blanca Mañana. La melancolía y la memoria, las flores silvestres, el campo, los ancestros, en esta ensoñación de un tipo que busca la paz. La película más romántica de John Ford, director americano de westerns con Irlanda en el corazón. Mucha fuerza en el amor que surge en las praderas, en los arroyos de Irlanda. Maureen O´Hara, Mary Kate, con su melena de fuego, su carácter indómito, se quita las medias para cruzar el río, John Wayne, la besa bajo la lluvia en la medianoche, la tormenta arrecia. En el trasfondo, la huida del pasado, un hombre hostigado por los recuerdos, de las fundiciones y la contaminación de Pittsburg a los aires gaélicos de la tierra prometida. Del ruido de las fábricas al rumor del riachuelo y el canto de los pájaros. Impetuoso y homérico, así lo llama varias veces Michaleen, magnífico Barry Fitzgerald, el cochero, casamentero y borrachín. Homérica empresa es salvar los obstáculos para alcanzar el tálamo nupcial, las tradiciones y las costumbres más antiguas. En Irlanda no aparece una chica con simplemente tocar la bocina. La presencia de la iglesia, la dote, el consentimiento de un hermano intransigente, con mandíbula de hierro y manos enormes, espléndido Victor McLaglen. Idílicos paisajes, carreras de caballos, sombreros mecidos por el viento, reverendos anglicanos y curas católicos, una icónica pelea final entre cuñados, resuelta con pintas de cerveza negra, y por encima de todo, una pelirroja de armas tomar y un hombre tranquilo. Raúl Gallego Nos sentamos junto a la chimenea y esperamos que Maureen O´Hara nos dé fuego con la leña encendida... Raúl Gallego, Gervi Navío y Zacarías Cotán.

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to." Miracle on 34th Street (1947) directed by George Seaton and starring Maureen O'Hara, John Payne, Edmund Gwenn and Natalie Wood.  

It's the most wonderful time of the year and the perfect time for The No-Name Cinema Society to discuss their first Christmas movie as their #TNNCSClassic of the Week. They look back at this 1947 film - MIRACLE AT 34TH STREET - starring John Payne, Maureen O'Hara, Edmund Gwenn and Natalie Wood. See what they have to say! Originally aired on YouTube in December 2015.

With “Miracle on 34th Street” released in 1947 we join Santa and the holiday festivities beginning with Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade and concluding on Christmas Eve. The talented Edmund Gwenn is Kris Kringle. Doris Walker played by Maureen O’Hara convinces Mr. Kringle to be Santa in the parade. As Santa he is a huge success and has a positive influence on just about everyone. He then is hired to be Santa Clause at Macy’s flagship store.The story captures the warm and heartfelt behavior of Mr. Kringle. The intriguing mystery is whether Kris is the real Santa Clause. His openness and honesty change the philosophy of Macy’s to focus more on customer satisfaction and less on the bottom line. Remarkably the bottom line also does better. Quite soon Gimbels and others follow suit.Kris also helps Doris Walker’s daughter Susan played by Natalie Wood to discover her imagination. Ms. Walker’s neighbor John Payne as Attorney Fred Galley becomes both Susan’s friend and romantically involved with Doris. However, things don’t go well because the villainous, Porter Hall as Granville Sawyer, does not believe any of Kris’s story. This sets in motion a highly publicized court case to determine if Kris really is Santa Clause. Mr. Galley’s legal work and the U.S. Postal Service mail delivery are important to the outcome of the case.

David Easley, Henry Scarborough Professor of Social Science at Cornell University, delves into his theoretical research that identifies externalities in the banking system which can lead to a contagion of bad events. He also shares new research detailing how financial market participants with different sets of beliefs can produce suboptimal market outcomes, illustrated through a simple example about renovating the Ithaca Commons: what should the Mayor do if everyone agrees to renovate the Commons but they want to do so for contradictory reasons? Easley also shares his research about bitcoin transaction fees and then sheds some light on what it is like to work with one’s spouse; Easley’s spouse is Maureen O’Hara, who was previously featured on Present Value!

"Make your thoughts into things that are said." How Green Was My Valley (1941) directed by John Ford and starring Walter Pidgeon, Maureen O'Hara, Donald Crisp and Roddy McDowall. Next Time: Kick off Black History Month!  Within Our Gates (1920)

In part two of our two-parter on the demise of the biggest and most pernicious tabloid of the 1950s, we’ll explore what happened after the magazine’s claim that redheaded star Maureen O’Hara was caught having sex at Grauman’s Chinese Theater. O’Hara positioned herself the “Joan of Arc” of Hollywood, single-handedly defending a cowardly industry against the existential threat posed by Confidential. As we’ll see, this is one story where the Kenneth Anger version is more credible than the version related by one of the subjects.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Feisty, fiercely independent Maureen O'Hara - the red-headed Irish-American leading lady of old Hollywood - made only one visit to "radio's outstanding theater of thrills," but it's a great episode that finds her playing a strong woman stepping up to track down a killer. It's "The White Rose Murders" (originally aired on CBS on July 6, 1943). Then she recreates her screen role from How Green Was My Valley in a broadcast from the Gulf Screen Guild Theatre (originally aired on CBS on March 22, 1942).

Twentieth Century Fox released Miracle on 34th Street to theaters on October 2, 1947. George Seaton directed film which starred Edmund Gwenn, Maureen O'Hara, and John Payne. The post Miracle on 34th Street (1947) appeared first on Movie House Memories.

HO HO HO! HAPPY HOLIDAYS! We here at the SLPS hope you're having a great Christmas season. As is tradition, Nick and Michael will be spending our anniversary episode discussing a Christmas film! After this episode we'll be taking a month off and will be back with Season 3 in January! On today's episode we’ll be discussing a classic Christmas film that’s been on Michael's shame list for ages, George Seaton’s MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET Made in 1947 under the title THE BIG HEART, MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET uses Macy’s Department Store, and the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade as it’s backdrop. A man who looks a lot like Santa Claus whom we only know as Kris Kringle is wondering around New York set on finding the man who is to play Santa in the parade. Once he notices the imposter Santa is a drunk, Kringle finds the manager to the parade and insists he play the role instead. He does such a great job, Mr. Macy himself requests this man take on the role of Santa in their department store. As the film progresses Kringle is adamant on spreading Holiday cheer and showing that Christmas isn’t just about commercialism and proving to a young girl that Santa Claus does, in fact, exist. Oh, and to top it all off, Santa is taken to court and to prove in a court of law that he is Santa Claus. Part heartwarming comedy, part court-room drama, this film has it all. MIRACLE is considered one of the greatest films of all-time and has consistently topped multiple AFI lists of greatest films ever made in multiple categories. The films stars Maureen O’Hara, Natalie Wood, John Payne and Edmund Gwenn as Kris Kringle.

During this episode, we discuss how John Ford uses cinematography, editing, and production design to evoke the power of memory in the family melodrama, How Green Was My Valley (1941), starring Walter Pidgeon, Maureen O'Hara, Donald Crisp, and Roddy McDowell.  Join us as we discuss the film that beat Citizen Kane to the Best Picture Oscar.

We welcome Professor Maureen O’Hara, the Robert W. Purcell Professor of Finance at Cornell. Our conversation begins with a conversation about her foundational work on market microstructure theory and moves on to a discussion about the effects of ETFs and high frequency trading on market stability. We delve into the nuances of ethical behavior on Wall Street, explored in her most recent book “Something For Nothing,” and ponder what new regulatory mechanisms may be necessary as artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies continue to evolve and dominate market trading.

This endless dirge of Welsh coal miners singing hymns is a great movie to watch if you want to fall asleep. Plotless and devoid of any tension, the movie feels like a book someone forced you to read in middle school. It's honestly a miracle Nick and I didn't give up halfway through. Featuring "Miracle on 34th Street"'s Maureen O'Hara and future non-boring director John Ford at the helm, the film must have struck a chord in late-Depression America because it beat "Citizen Kane" for the trophy. If you watch only one Best Picture winner this year, make it ANY other pick than this one. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

YESTERDAY’S NEWS --Tales of classic scandals, scoundrels and scourges told from historic newspapers in the golden age of yellow journalism... The Deadly Trout Creek Land Squabble Episode 281 is dedicated to listener and patron Kimberlee Anderson, who shares a hometown with the defendants in this case. Although first reports said that Mrs. Alice Harris was a widow, it turns out she was a divorcee whose ex-husband was of THE Harris family of Harrisville, Utah. This story seems like it could’ve been a classic John Ford western, a land dispute in the Utah desert that turns deadly. I think maybe Maureen O’Hara as Alice Harris and Robert Mitchum as the wisecracking Tackman. *** Culled from the historic pages of the Salt Lake City Herald Republican, the Salt Lake City Tribune, the Ogden Standard, and other newspapers of the era. *** A creation Of Pulpular Media Support your favorite podcaster at www.patreon.com/truecrimehistorian.

This week Jeremy and Deana Marie take a trip back in time to the days of Technicolor as they watch and discuss John Ford's The Quiet Man, starring Maureen O'Hara, John Wayne, Barry Fitzgerald and Victor McLaglen.  This film was a favorite of someone very special in Deana Marie's life so this episode has a little nostalgia, a lot of laughter, the usual throat punches and some deep discussion about the changes in how relationships are portrayed on screen today vs. 60+ years ago.  There's also a very interesting discussion about Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure at the very end of the episode so be sure to stick around for that!

Groomed as a potential leading man and heartthrob for the Hollywood studio system of the 1950s, George Nader went from a debut in an acknowledged camp classic (Robot Monster) through roles alongside the likes of Tony Curtis, Maureen O’Hara, Esther Williams, Hedy Lamarr and John Saxon, eventually winding up in the career-defining role of FBI G-man Jerry Cotton in an unforgettable series of two fisted German action films that drew equally from the Bondian excess of the Eurospy craze and the wild and wooly vibe of the Edgar Wallace krimi. With their gritty vibe, surprising stunt sequences and dark undertones, these 8 films even seemed to draw from the contemporaneous NYC sexploiter, while bearing enough lineage with the Wallace (and arguably, Mabuse) films (whose recurrent director Harald Reinl helmed three entries, and whose go-to composer Peter Thomas composed the films’ jaunty theme and provided most of their scoring) to elevate the second tier Hollywood expat to the second most popular film star in Germany! Join us as we return from a long hiatus to zcover these highly entertaining films, as we discuss the “first gay action hero”, George Nader and the Jerry Cotton series!

This week we’re toasting the Emerald Isle with a look at John Ford’s 1952 Maureen O’Hara/John Wayne romance, The Quiet Man, and Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney’s ungilded look at married life, Catastrophe. It’s two very different American men falling for two very different Irish women in two very different eras—and we have thoughts. Pull up a chair and pray you can understand the waitress’s thick County Cork accent—it’s time for Après Culture.

Let’s get together and Step In Time with The Parent Trap and our special Co-Host, Margaret Kerry! The animator’s reference model for Tinker Bell flew in to sprinkle some pixie dust on our conversation. She has met and worked with a few members of the cast, so Margaret Kerry’s insight is especially intriguing! It’s 1961, and Hayley Mills is the newest Disney darling. She’s perfect for the role of teenage twins, Sharon and Susie, who are reunited at summer camp after never knowing the other one even existed. After discovering their family connection, they seek out a way to get their divorced parents (played by Maureen O’Hara and Brian Keith) back together. Non-stop hilarity ensues!

Dave has two guests discussing the new Tarantino film Hateful Eight and then some fan discussion of his other eight(directory) films. Guests Martin and Mike. *Warning Language and probably Spoilers*   Also information remembered after recording 1: McLintock! 2: Maureen O'Hara 3: East and West are reversed.

This first quote was supplied by my wife and love of my life, Dee Holbrook   Actress Maureen O’Hara   “Above all else, deep in my soul, I'm a tough Irishwoman.”   Some of my favorite classic movies had Maureen O’Hara and John Wayne in them. Ms. O’Hara’s characters always had a toughness, but were still able to maintain a ladylike feel.   I always admired this combination in her and other women I knew growing up, and am proud to say I married a wonderful woman with a similar disposition and bearing. In her quote, she clearly defines the self image she has, and her life bears this out. She is true to herself, and isn’t ashamed of it.   Do you have realistic image of yourself, or are you busy trying to hide from what you really are? Many people seem to be not only ashamed, but downright fearful of what they are deep in their hearts.    You can tell people who never look honestly at their core self. They are usually very pompous and pushy and use this mask to make sure nobody finds out how badly they feel about themselves. Of course, pompous and pushy tells everyone else the real story, and the only person they fool is themselves.   All of us have thoughts and emotions we don’t want others to know about, but have you given yourself an honest evaluation lately? Never be afraid to look hard at yourself in your inward mirror and be honest.   Do you like what you see? No? Well, it’s time to take an inventory of what you don’t like and start making some changes. Wouldn’t it be better to actually become the person you want to be? If you only put on an act, other people will see right through you.   Steven Covey   “In the last analysis, what we are communicates far more eloquently than anything we say or do.”   My wife and I often see someone, and comment on how beautiful they are. Interestingly enough, they are rarely physically stunning models or athletes. We have always felt that fully ¾ of a person’s beauty comes from inside. How they are animated, their attitude and bearing, their kind and sympathetic looks; these are the things that spell out true beauty. As a person ages and their body begins to deteriorate, this ¾ of their beauty will remain. Those who only have the physical, will lose everything.   Be sure of who you really are inside. Evaluate yourself and become a better person. Don’t be that person who loses it all.     Maureen O'Hara in Wikipedia   Maureen O'Hara in the International Movie Database   --------------------------------------------   Eleanor Roosevelt, First Lady of the United States   “Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.”   Think back on what you have been talking about today. What was the subject matter? Ideas, events, or people? Great, average or small?   Seems kind of harsh, doesn’t it? Most people discuss all three at various times, but the key is in deciding how much time you spend on each category.   A person who only discusses ideas would be one of those fabled geniuses who are so lofty in their thinking that they can’t even carry on a decent conversation with the average person. They make amazing leaps in mathematics and science, but forget to eat and sleep if someone with a less brilliant mind is not around to help. We need  the advances in our knowledge, but the genius isn’t perfect.   Average people lead more average lives, and talk about the weather, sports, vacations, work and the everyday milestones we all run into. The vast majority of us are in this category, and the world couldn’t function without us. Production of goods and services happens in this group. Average people make the world go round. In the process, they spend time looking after the genius types making sure they don’t starve while thinking deep thoughts.   Ok, last and certainly least are the small minded individuals that spend all their time gossiping about those they feel inferior to, namely, everyone else. Not much in the way of production going on here, they would rather tear down what others are doing to feel better about themselves, rather than contribute to society. We all know them well. Like the ancient Vikings, they conduct raids on the Average minds on a regular basis, and even take prisoners sometimes.   Now that they have been defined, which group of minds is best? One of the surprising things is that there is some serious blurring of the lines at the borders of each group.   Small minds, in additon to attempting to hold the Average folks hostage with their secret knowledge, sometime only ply their trade part time and are Average movers and shakers otherwise. This is good, but staying out of other people’s business altogether is better.    A quote by another First Lady, Dolley Madison:   “It is one of my sources of happiness never to desire a knowledge of other people's business.”   Mrs. Madison is a truly respected First Lady. She is known for her courage when the British Army was advancing on the White House during the War of 1812. She saved the portrait of George Washington and a lot government property and papers when the White House was burned. There was no room for their personal property, so she made the decision to leave it.   This brings up the next group. People considered average often have dramatic leaps of insight that can be brilliant. Genius IQs are in their ranks undetected because they also possess social skills. Who knew? Many times the best organizers are those with average IQs who have very specific talents.   The moral of the story is that everyone has a mind worth using and improving. Everyone has talents and aptitudes that compliment the skills of others. Lets all make it a goal to be better tomorrow than we are today.   One final quote from Abraham Lincoln.   “I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.”     Eleanor Roosevelt in Wikipedia   National First Ladies Library Article http://www.firstladies.org/biographies/firstladies.aspx?biography=33   SUBSCRIBE!  iTunes  Stitcher  Tunein     CHECK US OUT ON   Facebook  Twitter  Tumbler  

Maureen O'Hara, one of the great stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood, passed away on October 24, 2015. Movie Addict Headquarters paid tribute to her with this special episode that aired live in March of 2014. Film critics Diana Saenger and James Colt Harrison dropped by to salute the famous Irish actress who appeared in such classic movies as The Quiet Man, Mracle on 34th Street, How Green Was My Valley, Spanish Main and McClintock. Because of her beautiful red hair, she was called the Queen of Technicolor, and her work in so many Westerns earned her a Golden Boot Award in 1991. Brought to Hollywood from Ireland by Charles Laughton in the late 1930s, Maureen achieved immediate acclaim for her fiery performances in The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Jamaica Inn. She remained a popular box-office draw throughout her long acting career and played opposite a host of A-list actors including John Wayne, Tyrone Power, Henry Fonda and Jimmy Stewart.  It was a treat to hear classic movie experts Diana Saenger and James Colt Harrison discuss Maureen O'Hara's remarkable film career. Diana is the founder of Classic Movie Guide, and James is a film historian who writes movie commentary for a variety of outlets, including Review Express and Classic Movie Guide. Maureen O'Hara was a multi-talented actress and grand lady. She will be missed -- but her wonderful performances live on through the magic of film. 

Top o’ the mornin’ to ya! A very happy St. Paddy’s Day from us here at The Flix Book Club to you listeners! Episode 14 is Irish-American’s Dennis Rooney’s pick, titled The Quiet Man. It’s a film from 1952 starring The Duke himself – John Wayne, and the lovely Maureen O’Hara. Ever wanted to marry a girl you met yesterday, and the only thing standing between you and matrimony is an Irish bullheaded older brother? If so, you should probably watch this flick. It’s funny as hell, and a great way to celebrate the man who drove the snakes outta Ireland. Tell us your thoughts in the comments section or give us some recommendations if you think we’re overlooking something huge. Tune in next week for KC’s pick: Weekend.

This week, we test our nasal capacity for the truth, hang out with Maureen O’Hara and John Wayne (or is that Dean Martin and John Wayne) on the Mexican border and find out exactly what business Mr. Darcy had with the Isle of Wight, Welcome to They Don’t Make 'em Like They Used To.

Dean Smith has taken falls from galloping horses, engaged in fistfights with Kirk Douglas and George C. Scott, donned red wig and white tights to double Maureen O’Hara, and taught Goldie Hawn how to talk like a Texan. He’s dangled from a helicopter over the skyscrapers of Manhattan while clutching a damsel in distress, hung upside down from a fake blimp 200 feet over the Orange Bowl, and replicated one of the most famous scenes in movie history by climbing on a thundering team of horses to stop a runaway stagecoach. Cowboy Stuntman chronicles the life and achievements of this colorful Texan and Olympic gold medal winner who spent a half century as a Hollywood stuntman and actor, appearing in ten John Wayne movies and doubling for a long list of actors as diverse as Robert Culp, Michael Landon, Steve Martin, Strother Martin, Robert Redford, and Roy Rogers.

This week on Mousterpiece Cinema, Josh and Gabe head back into the past, all the way to the 1960s to discuss the original long-lost-identical-twin story, The Parent Trap, starring Hayley Mills AND Hayley Mills as twins who discover each other at summer camp and conspire to get their parents back together. There's plenty to discuss, as Gabe and Josh debate accents, gold-diggers, and try to nail down exactly how great an actress Maureen O'Hara really was. Did the split-screen effect work that well in 1961? Do your hosts put on any English accents? Or are they ready for a podcast-style divorce? Check out this week's show to find out!

In episode #119, Maureen O'Hara discusses high-frequency markets, algorithmic trading, flow toxicity, and differential access to price information in Asia, as well as the flash crash and market fragmentation.

We’ve got the future in our hands: Are we up to it? There is mounting evidence that the demands of everyday life in these complex and uncertain times is presenting humanity with both a threat to survival and also an opportunity for evolutionary transformation. Is humanity being pushed beyond our limits to cope or are we instead on the cusp of a breakthrough in consciousness on a global scale? Is the rising tide of mental anguish—anxiety, depression, suicide, addiction and violence – a sign that we are being overtaken by our powerful times? Or is the newly enlivened participatory impulse that swept a young African American man into the White House an indication that we are growing up and developing expanded psychological capacities, new forms of thinking and social innovation. In this lecture psychologist Maureen O'Hara will take a fresh look at the challenges of the globalising 21st century. She will suggest that if we understand what is happening from an evolutionary perspective, we may be able to learn our way into a more humane future.

Ours is an age of complexity, uncertainty and rapid change. Our response to these conditions has also made ours an age of anxiety, the effects of which are to be found everywhere - deteriorating mental health, increasing crime, a global environment under strain, the persistence and deepening of unequal patterns of distribution in income, wealth and well-being. In this lecture Maureen O'Hara presented a fresh look at these challenges and suggested that, if we can come to understand them in a different light, they offer the hope of transformation.
