EDITORS COMMENTS
Maureen O'Sullivan: A Trailblazing Irish-American Actress Maureen O'Sullivan, born on May 17, 1911, was an Irish-American actress who left an indelible mark on the entertainment industry. This photograph, taken during her prime, showcases O'Sullivan's enchanting beauty and magnetic stage presence. Born in County Kerry, Ireland, O'Sullivan immigrated to the United States with her family at a young age. She began her acting career on the stage, making her Broadway debut in 1932. However, it was her work in films that would bring her international fame. O'Sullivan's breakthrough role came in 1933 when she was cast as Jane Parker in the classic Tarzan film, 'Tarzan and His Mate.' She went on to appear in several more Tarzan films, solidifying her status as a Hollywood leading lady. Her performances in these films showcased her versatility, from her portrayal of a strong and independent woman in 'Tarzan's New York Adventure' to her vulnerable and emotional turn in 'Tarzan's Secret Treasure.' Despite her success in Hollywood, O'Sullivan remained true to her Irish roots. She continued to perform on the stage, appearing in productions of 'The Quare Fellow' and 'The Corn is Green.' She also used her platform to raise awareness for Irish causes, including the Irish Red Cross and the American-Irish Historical Society. O'Sullivan's career spanned over five decades, and she continued to act in films, television, and on the stage until her retirement in 1982. This photograph captures a moment in time when O'Sullivan was at the height of her fame, a testament to her enduring talent and charisma.
