- Bronwyn Brigid FitzSimons's only child, a son, Conor Beau FitzSimons (also known as "C. Beau FitzSimons), an Irish-American hairdresser who has his own line of hair care products called "The Red Collection" (honoring his famous grandmother, Maureen O'Hara). Bronwyn was named after the character played by Anna Lee, her mother's co-star, in How Green Was My Valley (1941). She adopted her mother's maiden name, FitzSimons, as her legal surname.
Maureen O'Hara helped get her daughter started in movies with her cameo in Spencer's Mountain (1963), she showed great talent for a movie career and her mother encouraged her, but she soon dropped out of films to be a mother. Before motherhood, she made frequent appearances on television in such shows as The Virginian (1962) and McHale's Navy (1962), and also had a part in The Ravagers (1965).- IMDb Mini Biography By: Anonymous (updated by RM Sieger)
- Children
- Daughter of director Will Price and actress Maureen O'Hara.
- Mother of C. Beau Fitzsimons. Bronwyn means "White Breast" or "Fair Breast" in Cymraeg (Welsh language). The "-wyn" ending in Cymraeg would refer to a male. However, in Gaeilge (Irish language), "-wyn" refers to a female. However, as O'Hara was Irish, Bronwyn was a correct spelling, although it is not an Irish forename, per se. It was chosen in reference to a character of the same name (pronounced identically, even if misspelled in writing) who was played by Anna Lee in the film How Green Was My Valley (1941) (in which O'Hara starred).
- Had two grandchildren, Bailey and Everest, via son C. Beau Fitzsimons.
