Happy Birthday Mae And Maureen!

There have been a lot of interesting birthdays lately, but I found this coincidence too much to pass up.  The People History notes that Mary Jane West (a/k/a Mae West) was born on August 17, 1893, in Bushwick, New York; and Maureen FitzSimons (a/k/a Maureen O'Hara) was born on the same day in 1920, in Ranelagh, County Dublin, Ireland.  Below is Ms. West in a trailer from I'm No Angel (1933), and a publicity shot of Ms. O'Hara from The Black Swan (1942).  Click here for a trailer from The Black Swan on TCM.
