Acting legend Maureen O'Hara died in her sleep at her Idaho home Saturday. She was 95.

Born Maureen Fitzsimmons, the Dublin-born actress starred in such classic films as "Miracle on 34th Street" and "The Parent Trap."

"It is with a sad heart that we share the news that Maureen O'Hara passed away today in her sleep of natural causes," her family said in a statement released to the Irish Times. "Maureen was our loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend."

O'Hara burst on the Hollywood scene more than seven decades ago and was revered as one of last remaining names from Tinseltown's Golden Era. Over her career, she starred alongside all of the industry's biggest names, including the likes of Tyrone Power, Henry Fonda, James Stewart and John Wayne, widely considered her closest friend in all of Hollywood.

In all, the two starred in five films together, among them the classic "Rio Grande" and "The Quiet Man."

Three-times married O'Hara was also known for her brutally honest and colorful quotes with the reflection "After I got to Hollywood, I resented that I didn't get a crack at more dramatic roles because I photographed so beautifully," being among her most memorable musings.

"RIP #MaureenOHara from one tough redhead broad to another," Jessica Chastain posted on Twitter. "Thankful for the light you share."

Back in 1999, O'Hara summed up the source of all her motivation in an Associated Press interview.

"My first ambition was to be the No. 1 actress in the world," she said. "And when the whole world bowed at my feet, I would retire in glory and never do anything again."

O'Hara will be buried at Arlington National Cemetery, in Washington, D.C., alongside her husband, a U.S. Navy pilot. As a tribute family members are asking fans to "visit Ireland one day and think of her."
