Unter den Kumpels war auch der 54-jährige José Henríquez, ein Christ. José Henriquez erklärte seinen Kumpels, daß man Gott wie ein Kind sein Herz ausschütten könne. So kam es, daß alle zusammen zweimal am Tag beteten. José erinnert sich: «Gott gab uns Mut und Kraft durchzuhalten.» (...)
José blickte später in einem Gottesdienst auf die Erlebnisse in der Tiefe zurück: «Mehr als je zuvor weiß ich, wie sehr mein Leben in Gottes Hand liegt. Er war unser 34. Kumpel.»

In a career spanning more than six decades, the fiery redhead never received an Oscar nomination, but was the female star of some of the greatest films ever made. Her impressive body of work includes her performance as "Esmerelda" in Charles Laughton's definitive version of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame", 1941's Best Film "How green was my valley", "The quiet man" with John Wayne, who was often paired with her, and the Christmas classic "Miracle on 34th Street", as the Santa-denying mother of little Natalie Wood. She starred in romances, dramas, westerns, comedies and Disney hits ("The Parent Trap" ...), had a vivid screen presence, and never turned in anything less than exactly the performance that a film needed. By any measure, O'Hara was a grand movie star, deserving of the honorary lifetime achievement award that the Academy decided to give her this year.
For the first time, however, the Academy decided that there wasn't time to show respect for an elderly great from Hollywood's past, and to allow an elderly star to bask in the appreciation of the assembled worthies from the profession that she honored and enhanced, experience the thrill of standing ovation, and to have a final moment in the spotlight on the live broadcast. The lifetime achievement award has been a highlight of past ceremonies, when they were accepted by the likes of Paul Newman, Lawrence Olivier, Charles Chaplin, Deborah Kerr, James Cagney and so many others. This was Maureen O'Hara's turn, and she earned it. The Academy, however, relegated her award presentation to the junior edition of the Oscars, the so-called Governor Awards, which is the un-televised, presumed to be less interesting and appealing honors ceremony held the previous night. Pre-recorded clips from that event are always shown on the telecast, usually featuring the awards to technicians and inventers. They dumped the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award into this low-visibility affair a couple years ago, and now, just for Maureen, the lifetime achievement awards are there too.
How insulting, and how foolish. It was clear this year that the Academy was aiming at a younger demographic, for most of the presenters were lesser-known younger stars on the rise rather than the legends and icons that used to dominate the telecast. It should tell the producers something that one of the biggest hands of the night went to 80-year-old Julie Andrews, who came out to give an award after Lady Gaga had stunned the crowd ... Hollywood's past glory is one of its greatest assets, and marginalizing it is a losing strategy.
