Just read that she has left us, aged 95 years.

Amazing life, and a shining role model for many of us.

May all remember her fondly, and may there be comfort in shared happy memories.

Will always remember her in the original "Parent Trap" and in "Miracle on 34th St". I'm wondering if she's the last surviving cast member of "Miracle"

She was just so lovely. Miracle on 34th Street is one of my favorite movies, and what an incredible character to play in 1947- a strong, independent working single mother.

She was a true Irish colleen. Admired her acting in "How Green Was My Valley" as well as so many other movies.

She was a bit before my time. I only knew of her because one of my friends aunts was named Maureen because her parents loved Maureen Ohara. They were Jewish, so naming their daughter Maureen in the 40's or 50's was an unusual choice. She grew up and married a man whose last name was O'hara. I remember meeting her at my friend's wedding, she even had red hair

"Miracle" stands on its own, but without her smarts, not even Jimmy Stewart could have carried fluff like "Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation."

That's right, she did some tremendous films and plenty of fluff too, but she always raised the level of whatever she was doing.

About 10 years ago, she wrote an autobiography titled "'Tis Herself." Like Mary Kate Danaher, she doesn't pull any punches about those whom she feels treated her unfairly. However, she also writes movingly of people like John Wayne and the loss of beloved co-stars who played her children like Natalie Wood and John Candy.
