Irish Americans of the Silver Screen.
Descendants of the Irish have left their mark in theatre and film. Lionel, Ethel (Grandmother of Drew Barrymore) and John Barrymore are one of the most famous stage families, and are kept good company by stars like James Cagney, John Wayne (Star of The Quiet Man, real name Marion Michael Morrison), Bing Crosby (White Christmas), Gene Kelly (Singing in the Rain), John Ford (Director of Grapes of Wrath/The Quiet Man, real name Sean O'Fearna), Helen Hayes, Maureen O'Hara (The Quiet Man), Grace Kelly (To Catch a Thief), Art Carney and Jackie Gleason (both of The Honeymooners)and Carrol O'Connor (All in the Family), are just a few of the "shining" Irish.
