To
say that Hollywood has a sexual harassment problem would be a gross
understatement.
Following
a barrage of reports about producer Harvey
Weinstein and
director James
Toback,
more and more women have
come forward to
share their own stories of sexual misconduct and assault.
Making
these allegations all the more harrowing is how closely they follow a
decades-long pattern of predatory behavior.
Case
in point: a 1945 interview with Maureen O'Hara, one in which the
Irish actress describes being sexually harassed on a film set.
The
72-year-old article was originally published in The
Mirror but
has made its way into the twenty-first century thanks to a tweet
posted earlier this month by pianist James Rhodes.
O'Hara,
who starred in films like The
Quiet Man, How Green Was My Valley, and
Miracle
on 34th Street, says
that after rejecting producers' and directors' sexual advances she
was labeled a "cold potato without sex appeal."
