A Tribute to Maureen O'Sullivan Maureen O'Sullivan appeared in 68 movies between 1930 and 1988. But she will always be remembered for only a half-dozen films between 1932 and 1942 in which she played the mate of Tarzan the Ape Man. Because of her scanty costume, the convent-educated girl caused a scandal in the pre-Hayes Code days, which many believe damaged her promising movie career. But she was still very popular and appeared as an ingenue in many non-Tarzan films in the 30s, including The Marx Brothers' A Day at the Races in 1937. Maureen retired from the movies after the 6th Tarzan film with Johnny Weissmuller to concentrate on raising the seven children from her marriage to Australian writer and director John Farrow (who died in 1963). One of them, Mia Farrow, experienced her own scandal later. The six Weissmuller-O'Sullivan Tarzan movies are clearly the best of the genre, and Maureen was a major reason for that. She appeared in several films in the 80s, including Peggy Sue Got Married and Hannah and Her Sisters, with her daughter. She was 87 years old when she died.
