Maureen O'Sullivan

She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6541 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood. In 2003, she took on the major role of playing Julie McNamara in the controversial television drama Nip/Tuck based on the lives of plastic surgeons. She is buried in the Most Holy Redeemer Cemetery at Schenectady, New York. Richardson expressed sympathy with Marie-Antoinette's undeserved fate, something which she tried to convey in the film. However, it was a critical failure: "an endless illustrated Harlequin paperback of mawkish backstory and corset-popping purple prose", according to Jessica Winter in the Village Voice, though Richardson's performance was listed among the "incidental pleasures" of the film by Roger Ebert and described as a "sly, commanding performance that reflects a marvelous understanding of this notorious character" by Salon.com. Maureen O'Sullivan died in Scottsdale, Arizona aged 87, of complications from heart surgery. This was a lavish costume drama based on a scandal in the final days of the French monarchy, when Marie-Antoinette's reputation was trashed by a confidence trickster, who absconded with a lavish diamond necklace which she had purchased using the Queen's name but without her knowledge. In (1994), she appeared with Robert Wagner and Stephanie Powers in Hart to Hart: Home Is Where the Hart Is, a feature-length made for TV movie with the wealthy husband-and-wife team from the popular weekly detective series. Thus, she secured the role of that queen in the 2001 film The Affair of the Necklace.

She had important roles in Peggy Sue Got Married (1986), starring Kathleen Turner and Nicolas Cage, and the Sci-Fi oddity Stranded (1987). Later that year she was modelling on a necklace, when director Charles Shyer noticed her resemblance to doomed 18th-century royal Marie Antoinette. When her daughter, Mia Farrow, became involved with Woody Allen both professionally and romantically, O'Sullivan appeared in a couple of his movies playing Farrow's mother. Two years later she played opposite Mel Gibson in the successful film, The Patriot loosely based on the American Revolution. She was also an executive director of a bridal consulting service, Wediquette International. In 1998 in the popular television drama The Echo she played sultry Amanda Powell. She was the Today Girl for NBC for a while, then she made the movie version of Never Too Late (1965) for Warner Bros. In 1996 she played the fashion designer Anita in the popular Disney film 101 Dalmatians opposite Glenn Close as Cruella deVil.

O'Sullivan stuck with acting after the death of her husband. She later appeared as a fictional Finnish princess, Anna, in the 1991 comedy King Ralph. Two years later, she appeared as Lady Chatterley in a televison drama of the same title. Shortly after it opened on Broadway, John Farrow died of a heart attack. After an early leading role in Peter Greenaway's cult success Drowning by Numbers, her first major role in front of a mass audience was as Joanna Farley in a 1989 television episode of Poirot, the Agatha Christie-based detective series. That led to another play, Never Too Late, in which she co-starred with Paul Ford. She is the daughter of screen legend Vanessa Redgrave and director Tony Richardson, the granddaughter of Sir Michael Redgrave, sister of Natasha Richardson and niece of Lynn Redgrave. Joely Richardson appeared as an extra at the age of three in the 1968 version of The Charge of the Light Brigade directed by her father. The play, A Roomful of Roses, opened in 1961. Joely Richardson (born 9 January 1965) is a British actress, who was born into a theatrical family.

Then fellow Irish thespian Pat O'Brien encouraged her to take a part in summer stock. By 1960, she believed she had permanently retired. She continued to appear occasionally in her husband's movies and on television. In (1948), she re-appeared on the screen in The Big Clock for Paramount Studios, which was directed by her husband.

She then retired from show business, devoting her time to being a wife and mother. After appearing in Tarzan's New York Adventure (1942), O'Sullivan asked MGM to release her from her contract so she could care for her husband who had just left the Navy with typhoid. She played another Jane in Pride and Prejudice (1940) with Laurence Olivier and Greer Garson, and supported Ann Sothern in Maisie Was a Lady (1941). At her request, he rewrote her part to give it substance and novelty.

Scott Fitzgerald. She appeared as Molly Beaumont in A Yank at Oxford (1938), which was written partly by F. She also starred with William Powell and Myrna Loy in The Thin Man (1934) and played Kitty in Anna Karenina (1935) with Greta Garbo and Basil Rathbone. She did not mind doing the first two jungle movies, but feared being typecast and grew increasingly tired of the role.

In all, O'Sullivan played Jane, mate of Tarzan, in six features between (1932) and (1942). She and Farrow were the parents of seven children: Michael Farrow, Patrick Farrow, Maria Farrow (actress Mia Farrow), John Farrow, Prudence Farrow, Theresa "Tisa" Farrow and Stephanie Farrow. She was a widow for twenty years, then married James Cushing (August 22, 1983-1998 her death). O'Sullivan was first married to Australian writer, later award-winning director, John Farrow (September 12, 1936-1963 his death).

Besides playing Jane, she was one of the more popular ingenues at MGM throughout the 1930s and appeared in a number of other productions with various stars. After several roles there and at other movie studios, she was chosen by Irving Thalberg to appear as Jane Parker in Tarzan the Ape Man opposite co-star Johnny Weissmuller. In 1932, she signed a contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. O'Sullivan appeared in six movies at Fox, then made three more at other movie studios.

She then traveled to the United States with her mother to complete the movie in Hollywood. She did and won a part in the movie, which starred Irish tenor John McCormack. He suggested she take a screen test. She then met the motion picture director Frank Borzage, who was doing location filming on Song o' My Heart for 20th Century Fox.

After attending finishing school in France, O'Sullivan returned to Dublin and began working with the poor. One of her classmates there was Vivien Leigh. She attended a convent school in Dublin, then the Convent of the Sacred Heart at Roehampton in London. She was born Maureen Paula O'Sullivan in Boyle, County Roscommon, Ireland, the daughter of Charles Joseph O'Sullivan and Mary Frazer.
