All four awards will be presented at the Academy’s 6th Annual Governors Awards on Saturday, November 8, at the Ray Dolby Ballroom at Hollywood & Highland Center®. “The Governors Awards allow us to reflect upon not the year in film, but the achievements of a lifetime,” said Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs. “We’re absolutely thrilled to honor these outstanding members of our global filmmaking community and look forward to celebrating with them in November.” http://www.oscars.org/press/pressreleases/2014/20140828.html :HALKING: :HALKING: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreddieMertz Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Hopefully Maureen can make it to the Governers Awards! For some reason I didn't think that Harry Belafonte was still with us but I am glad to hear it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C L A U D E Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 We won't notice the wheelchair when the camera focuses on her beautiful gorgeous and still youthful FACE! And the thousands of incredibly nice memories behind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted August 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 She's fantastic -- and her book is pretty juicy too. I've loved Maureen O'Hara ever since I first saw The Parent Trap...as a small tot sitting in the screening room of the Albuquerque Grammar School. She was the whole movie, as far as I was concerned. haha "She's really the motherly type." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
