Maureen O'Hara and John Wayne hugging in The Quiet Man
It's not uncommon for stars to frequently collaborate on numerous projects and appear together on screen throughout their careers. While there are dozens of notable duos, Hollywood's Golden Age stars, John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara, are considered to be one of the greatest on-screen couples to ever grace the silver screen.
5 'The Wings of Eagles' Directed by John Ford Close Frank "Spig" Mead is an American pilot working to improve the Navy's aviation program, and his job oftentimes forces him to move around the country, uprooting his wife, Min, and their children. When Frank accidentally falls down the stairs and breaks his back, he's bound to a wheelchair and unable to work.
Rio Grande is the first film Wayne and O'Hara co-starred in and was the third installment of Ford's Cavalry Trilogy, which also includes Fort Apache and She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, all starring Wayne. Out of all of Wayne and O'Hara's films, Rio Grande is their most dramatic and beautifully captures their genuine emotion as an on-screen couple that is simply captivating.
Big Jake is the last film Wayne and O'Hara co-starred in together before O'Hara's twenty-year-long retirement. The film again portrays the stars as a strained married couple who, deep down, still love each other but are both too proud to admit it. While some critics pointed out the film's slow start, many also advised audiences to stick it out for the final climax as well as Wayne and O'Hara's riveting performances.
