Drogheda has always enjoyed a great tradition when it comes to movies and I have discovered a few more links.
Fans of old films will recognise the picture (but perhaps not the name) but it s Sarah Allgood, a star of the black and white Hollywood films from the 1930s and 40s.
She featured in such classics as How Green Was My Valley , Cheaper by the Dozen and The Spiral Staircase .
Sarah passed away in 1950 in Hollywood and her death sparked a great local angle.
The Allgood family were from Dublin but had an old association with Drogheda by reason of the fact that in 1900, Sarah Allgood s sister-Marie O Neill-resided in the town with friends of hers -the Bernard McArevy family, high class furniture manufacturers, who then carried on their business at what would become the site of the Abbey Cinema on West Street.
