This is part 41 of our trip to Ireland. This blog continues our trek through the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry. Dingle is in extreme western Ireland and extends out into the Atlantic Ocean. Today, we'll explore the famous and ancient Beehive Huts and meet a woman (supposedly) made famous in a Tom Cruise film...

FAMOUS IRISH ACTRESS - The woman that lives on the property where the Beehives are located is also famous for acting. Her name is Mary.

| The famous actress who owns the Beehive Land |
We were told that she was in the Tom Cruise film "Far and Away." But we can't find her in the credits- because all of the older Irish actresses listed for the film died in 2004, 2006 and 2007 and she was very much alive.
Anyway- The film is about a young man who left Ireland with his landlord's daughter after some trouble with her father, and they dream of owning land at the big give-away in Oklahoma ca. 1893. She was also in "Ryan's Daughter" - Set in the wake of the 1916 Easter Rising, a married woman in a small Irish village has an affair with a troubled British officer.
