Almost 60 years after filming the most famous Irish movie of all time there, Maureen O’Hara returned in style to Cong, location of “The Quiet Man,” on Friday.

The 91-year-old actress was guest of honor at the first ‘Quiet Man’ festival and she thrilled the crowds who waited hours for her arrival.

Locals clamored for pictures and autographs with the queen of the silver screen who seemed as feisty as she was when she starred opposite John Wayne in the famous film.

She told the crowd that, of all the 80 films she made, “The Quiet Man” was her best because her favorite leading man John Wayne and film director John Ford were working with her.
