Maureen O'Hara was -- and is -- indeed fabulous, with a face just made for Technicolor.

Wasn't she fabulous? I recently saw a version of her in one of the Star Trek episodes (the series w/captain picard).

And I...You know, I looked it up, just to make sure. And I discovered it's a contraction of the exclamation, "By God!" (Better, for sure, than the equally archaic English expression, "Zounds," meaning "By his wounds!") Thanks for asking!

Regarding Roger Corman and Ireland, I suspect that post will wait until NEXT St. Patrick's Day. Hope you can wait that long!<br /><br />Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15515783219367479399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070623657970000135.post-70143405542295764592013-03-17T12:07:55.888-07:002013-03-17T12:07:55.888-07:00Great post about the home of the Blarney Stone and...Great post about the home of the Blarney Stone and the films set there. I love a lot of Irish movies - including most of the ones you mention. I am not that big a fan of Far and Away, mainly due to the miscasting - say no more. But what a great anecdote from Mr. Ciarfalio! Love the punchline from M:I 3!<br /><br />I do hope we get the sequel post to this - with the Roger Corman connection front and center!Craig Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06037542638067599437noreply@blogger.com
