OFFICIAL NOTICE:
I have just been notified by Maureen O'Hara's assistant in Ireland that fans are still sending photos and requests for autographs. That service was curtailed several months ago because of the volume and lack of staff to process it all. Regretfully, they are now discarding all photos/requests sent to that address. We had hoped that the autographed photo in exchange for a donation to the Maureen O'Hara Foundation might work, but that also presented too many bookkeeping and money processing tasks.
All photos received now must be discarded. It's a bit more complicated with the mailing process originating in Ireland, not the U.S. (the largest request fan base).
She will, however, still give autographs when she makes brief appearances in Ireland, but that it all. At age 91, although active in The Maureen O'Hara Foundation museum project in Glengarriff, she is otherwise enjoying her retirement with family and friends. I am sure fans will understand and continue to enjoy her legacy of films.
Thanks.
