Actress Maureen O'Hara dies aged 95

Dublin (AFP) - Maureen O'Hara, the flame-haired star of "How Green Was My Valley" and "Miracle on 34th Street" who was one of Ireland's most successful acting exports, has died aged 95, her family and the Irish president said.

O'Hara, an iconic figure in Hollywood's Golden Age of the 1940s and 1950s who was once considered one of the world's most beautiful women, also played a string of feisty women opposite John Wayne, including in "The Quiet Man".
