Memorable!

Maureen O'Hara gave a very interesting writing within this book. She was upfront and honest in the information that she shared of her life as well as the dealings and lives of those she had shared time with. Having watched a big portion of her shows with John Wayne, I had become interested in her as a person, and who best could tell me than her auto biograpy or memoir. I learned a lot! If you have wondered about her likes...

A True Irish Lass....

After reading "Tis Herself," I have more respect for Maureen O'Hara than ever before. I realize now why John Wayne held her in the very high regard that he did for over 39 years and how she came to be his very best friend during that period. John Wayne was part Irish and they both had a tremendous work ethic; likewise, during filming - it was strictly business while the cameras were rolling and they always knew their lines...

A page turner by a technicolor Diva

As a reader of tons of bios- let me insert this bit of observation...The truth is kaleidescopic- the past can be looked at in a myriad of ways at different times and a whole different picture appears everytime.Ms. O'Hara should be thanked for leaving in the tawdry ,ugly and dysfunctional stories that she experienced.Considering her prim and parochial outlook- I am surprised that she spilled the beans on what she recalls as...

'Tis a brilliant read altogether!

Maureen O'Hara is right up there with Kate Hepburn in my esteem. These two ladies took on a Hollywood totally owned and operated by men in a time that the studies controlled almost every aspect of an actor's life (if one wanted to work on a regular basis). They opened up alot of doors for today's actresses. I found this book to be honest, interesting, clever, funny, tearful and very true to Herself. I can't help but wonder...

I am glad she wrote it

'Tis Herself is just that...Maureen O'Hara wrote what she wanted her readers to know...I liked reading the book and I found it amazing in parts...yes, she had a difficult life and we must remember the time she is writing about ....men were very much in control of almost everything...we should not put our values on what she did or did not do...we do not like people doing that to us. I always liked her roles and her chemistry...
