Maureen O'Hara on what she whispered into John Wayne's ear in the final scene of John Ford's "The Quiet Man" (1952): "No matter what part of the world I’m in, the question I am always asked is: “What did you whisper into John Wayne’s ear at the end of 'The Quiet Man'?” It was John Ford’s idea; it was the ending he wanted. I was told by Mr. Ford exactly what I was to say. At first I refused. I said, “No. I can’t. I can’t say that to Duke.” But Mr. Ford wanted a very shocked reaction from Duke, and he said, “I’m telling you, you are to say it.” I had no choice, and so I agreed, but with a catch: “I’ll say it on one condition—that it is never ever repeated or revealed to anyone.” So we made a deal. After the scene was over, we told Duke about our agreement and the three of us made a pact. There are those who claim that they were told and know what I said. They don’t and are lying. John Ford took it to his grave—so did Duke—and the answer will die with me. Curiosity about the whisper has become a great part of the Quiet Man legend. I have no doubt that as long as the film endures, so will the speculation. 'The Quiet Man' meant so much to John Ford, John Wayne, and myself. I know it was their favorite picture too. It bonded us as artists and friends in a way that happens but once in a career. That little piece of 'The Quiet Man' belongs to just us, and so I hope you’ll understand as I answer: I’ll never tell." ("Tis Herself A memoir", Maureen O'Hara & John Nicoletti, 2004) P.S: Remembering John Wayne on his 119th birthday! What do you think she whispered into the Duke's ear?

Orange 🍊 you glad I didn’t say banana 🍌.

As full of spirit as the month of May.

In the 1983 Stanley Cup playoffs, Rick "Nifty"Middleton set an NHL record for the most points in a single playoff series with 19 (5 goals, 14 assists) in a 7-game Division Final against the Buffalo Sabres. His 14 assists in that series are also a record, and he was the first player in NHL history to record multi-point games in 6 games of a single series. The Bruins won the series 4-3 with Brad Park scoring the historic game 7 OT goal.

Our revels now are ended. These our actors, As I foretold you, were all spirits and Are melted into air, into thin air.

Elias Lindholm looks like Barry Pederson, in the 1990s.

Today marks 70 years since John Ford’s masterpiece 'The Searchers' was released. A landmark Western that redefined the genre, with John Wayne as the haunted Ethan Edwards, a complex antihero on a relentless quest through the American frontier. Crowned by this magnificent final sequence, one of the most beautiful in film history.
