“Fashion is about dressing according to what’s fashionable. Style is more about being yourself” said Oscar de la Renta

Maureen O'Hara - 1945 spoke out about Hollywood’s sexual harassment

Maureen O'Hara was an Irish actress and singer. She was a famous redhead who was known for playing passionate but sensible heroines, often in Westerns and adventure films.

O'Hara starred in the 1941 Oscar winner 'How Green Was My Valley,' along with 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame.'

If people had actually paid attention to that great and fearless beauty Miss Maureen O’Hara 72 years ago, how different things might be. The extensive bad behavior of powerful people, and the suffering it caused, would not have been wiped out, of course, but it might have been greatly lessened. She died at the age of 95 in her sleep of natural causes in her home in Boise, Idaho, on October 24 2015.

Ingredients

1 9-inch deep dish pie shell frozen or homemade
2 cups granulated sugar
¼ cup all purpose flour
¼ tsp baking soda
⅛ tsp salt
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
1 cup buttermilk
½ cup butter melted
3 large eggs
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp lemon extract
1 8 oz can crushed pineapple well drained

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place pie crust on a baking sheet. Set aside.
Sift together the sugar, flour, baking soda, salt and nutmeg.
In a separate bowl using an electric mixer, beat together buttermilk, butter, eggs, vanilla and lemon extracts until smooth. Add to the sifted dry ingredients. Whip until smooth. Mix in drained pineapple by hand.
Pour evenly into the pie shell and sprinkle the top with additional nutmeg.
Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes. Check the edges of the pie around 40 minutes, and cover with aluminum foil or a pie crust shield, to prevent the edges from over browning.
Cool completely on a wire rack before cutting.
