Maureen was an athlete of natural talent and enjoyed playing tough athletic games. She combined this interest with the natural ability to performing. As evidenced by receiving nearly every Feis award for drama and musical performances that her country could offer. In her teens She was admitted to the Abbey Theater, where her enthusiasm for classical theatre and operatic music was followed. Charles Laughton was mesmerized after seeing an Maureen screen examination. He was fascinated by the beauty of her eyes. Laughton together with his co-star Erich Pommer changed Maureen FitzSimons' names changed her name to "Maureen O'Hara" and shortened her name, to appear on the marquee, before casting her as an actress in Jamaica Inn, (1939). Maureen FitzSimons' next movie (The Hunchback of Notre-Dame 1939) was scheduled to be shot at RKO Pictures in America under agreement with Laughton. The contract Maureen signed with Laughton was bought by RKO following this film became a huge big success. Maureen Laughton had been featured in two major motion films when she was 19.
