Screen legend Maureen O’Hara gets first Oscar at 94
O’Hara received a standing ovation after Clint Eastwood and Liam Neeson presented her with the honorary award.
She sang the final words of the Irish ballad ‘Danny Boy’ and thanked three men who helped make her career: actors Charles Laughton and John Wayne and director John Ford, with whom she made the 1952 film The Quiet Man opposite Wayne.
