I have found yet another link between Ireland and Serbia.
“A naive of Ireland, Maureen O’ Sullivan (above) had expressed an interest as early as age nine of becoming a pilot, but in 1930 at the age of 19, she met director Frank Borzage who was doing some location shooting in Dublin for Fox Studios and was persuaded to come to the U.S. (accompanied by her mother) to pursue a career in films.
In 1932, she signed with MGM where she became a popular young star. She was teamed with former Olympic swimmer Johnny Weismuller for what would become her most legendary role, that of “Jane” in the Tarzan film series.”
We all know Johnny Weismuller is a Serb, and Ms O’Sullivan obviously Irish, so the whole Serb-Irish connection register has yet another entry.
