“Do you realize what you’re trying to do to my children and grandchildren? You’re taking away their right to boast about their wonderful Irish mother and grandmother.”—Actress Maureen O’Hara, after telling a judge she couldn’t accept American citizenship because she had been mistakenly classified as English instead of Irish on her U.S. citizenship application, quoted in Eileen Murphy, “O’Hara Fights to be Recognized,” Irish Echo, November 4-10, 2009
I am the editor/designer of Maureen O'Hara's official website. If you'd like to see some recent photos and information on Ms. O'Hara, Google "Maureen O'Hara Magazine." I am also her archivist and have a complete page on the immigration event I know you'll love. Just scroll down a bit on the page and you'll see a link to that page.
