Rio Grande Kathleen Yorke (Maureen O'Hara) Iron & Warming Plate Prop
From one of the grand cavalry epics of John Wayne and director John Ford, "Rio Grande" (1950) concentrates both on the blight of the American Indian (a rare sense of sensitivity for American Westerns of that era), and the effects of military service on a man's home life. Maureen O'Hara plays Wayne's long suffering wife, who had endured years of separation. This is a rare iconic prop from this incredible saga. A symbol of both her domesticity, and heated turmoil, it is the screen used iron and warming plate seen in one of the most emotionally charged moments between herself and Wayne, in which honor and love go to battle. Iron is 6"x5". Warming plate is approx. 11"x11". Both are actual 1890 sadiron antiques. Comes with a COA.
