The actress also regularly featured alongside John Wayne, in movies such as The Quiet Man.

Born in Dublin, Maureen O’Hara moved to Hollywood in 1939 and later became a US citizen.

“Her characters were feisty and fearless, just as she was in real life,” her family said in a statement.

“She was also proudly Irish and spent her entire lifetime sharing her heritage and the wonderful culture of the Emerald Isle with the world.”
