Maureen O'Sullivan (1911-1998) was an Irish actress best known for playing Jane in the Tarzan series of films starring Johnny Weissmuller. 

Director Frank Borzage was in Dublin filming Song o' My Heart (1930) when Maureen, then 18, met him. Borzage suggested a screen test, which she took. The results were more than favourable, as she won the part of Eileen O'Brien. The part was a substantial one, so much so that Maureen went on to Hollywood to complete the filming. Once in sunny California, Maureen wasted no time landing roles in other films such as So This Is London (John G. Blystone, 1930) with Will Rogers. In 1932, Maureen was teamed up with Olympic medal winner Johnny Weissmuller for the first time in Tarzan the Ape Man (W.S. Van Dyke, 1932). Five other Tarzan films followed. 

Maureen O'Sullivan also played beautifully in films such as David Copperfield (George Cukor, 1935), and Anna Karenina (Clarence Brown, 1935), starring Greta Garbo. O'Sullivan turned in yet another fine performance in Pride and Prejudice (Robert Z. Leonard, 1940). After the 1940s, Maureen made far fewer films, not because sheshe wanted to devote more time to her husband, director John Farrow, and their seven children: Michael, Patrick, Maria (Mia Farrow), John, Prudence, Theresa (Tisa Farrow), and Stephanie Farrow. Years later, she played the mother of her real life daughter Mia in Hannah and Her Sisters (Woody Allen, 1986).
