His last film role was in "The Shootist"(1976). He won his first and only Academy Award for playing Rooster Cogburn in "True Grit"(1969).He won for Best Actor.

John Wayne is one of my favorite actors!!! RIP John Wayne, Kobe and Gigi Bryant
Grew up watching western movies n TV shows...loved the Duke, RIP John Wayne ❤😢. Thank you Lamont
Guess u hvnt seen allhis sites...nieve lol
His movies were terrific they tried to remake True Grit it was a disgrace and terrible way to Dishonor the duke no actor well fill his shoes today
My lovely wife is buried at Pacific View Cemetery. I go there every week with fresh flowers and I do a prayer walk around the entire perimeter of the Cemetery.
The girl who died tragically while speeding in a Porsche was Nikki Catsouras. I always pass Nikki's grave on my prayer walk.
And very close to Nikki is the crypt of a famous actress that you didn't notice:
Jeanne Carmen,
Known as the queen of the B movies, a personal friend of Marilyn Monroe, a mistress of Frank Sinatra and Johnny Rosselli, and she was also a trick golfer.
You're a sweetheart for remembering your wife. Thank you for the other info as well. ❤
Wonderful comment bless you thank you
My dad was obsessed with John Wayne....even dressed up as cowboy when a lad, watched all the western movies😂bless him, all the oldies
RIP 🪦 🕊️ The Quiet Man
I loved that movie! Remember "McClintock" and "Hitari" ? Great comedy!😅
The Quiet Man, my Mom and I favorite movie of his. Maureen O'hara was beautiful and feisty!
Actually, John Wayne's final film was The Shootist (1976). Wayne had been diagnosed with stomach cancer and would pass away about three years later. Wayne was rather controversial at times, so his grave remained unmarked for nearly two decades, because his surviving family was afraid that his grave would be desecrated.
John Wayne rest in peace make God blessed 🙏
Controversial how?
@@MrTakeYoBitsh Wayne was known for making patronizing remarks about blacks (and other POC). While it wasn't outright racism, Wayne did state during a Playboy interview that he didn't think blacks were ready to rule themselves. There was also controversy over his "refusal" to serve in the armed forces during WW2. Wayne was the father of four children at the time and his family might have suffered severe financial hardship if he were indeed KIA or went MIA. Thanks.
@@jamesrau100
Thanks for the information, I appreciate it.
@@jamesrau100good info John Wayne I love his acting my idle TFS
My dad’s cousin was married to John Wayne’s daughter. Jennifer Wayne, the granddaughter of John Wayne is a country music singer. She’s a member of Runaway June.
The movie he played a "cancer stricken gunslinger" his last role, was The Shootist. The movie he played Rooster Cogburn, with the eyepatch was True Grit.
Thank you for doing this one, Pilgrim! You are one for those of us who will never get to visit these places. Stay safe out there brother, and God bless!
Hey Lamont! The last film role, which you described rather accurately, was The Shootist. True Grit was 1969 for which he won an Oscar.
Keep up the great work my man!
Like Frank Sinatra, John Wayne is laid to rest among the common folks.
That's how it is at Hollywood Forever Cemetery, a lot of movies stars are interned with the common folks
Or is it interred? 🤔
Death is the great equalizer as they say!
He is so revered in my family, that I have his last movie, still wrapped in plastic, never opened because no family member, past or present can bring ourselves to watch it. When he passed it was devastating! The Best... RIP JW.
Same! My family especially my dad absolutely adored that man. I grew up watching all those old westerns with my dad. Great stuff
Streaming service??
The Shootist, such a great movie, i was born and raised and still live in Indiana Pa which is Jimmy Stewarts hometown. Jimmy is huge around here, his childhood home is like a museum and they have a separate museum that has Jimmys office exactly like it was in Hollywood and they have a bunch of props from his movies. John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart 2 of the best to ever act
During world war 2 his movies got the usa thru the war. I thought his middle name was michael.
@@CarolineWessonFLGirl
Me too, watched westerns with my Dad. Westerns were the best back in the day. Still watch re-runs.
Duke is and always will be my Hero grew up watching him .Duke could definitely set on a horse 🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎
Life is tough. It’s even tougher when you’re stupid. The Duke
💯
😂😂😂 yep. So true!
Hahahaha!
I miss these cemetery video's, so thank you ❤
I loved the quiet man and Mcclintok!
As famous as John Wayne was, he has such an unassuming grave. Thanks for the video, Lamont.
Watching from Ireland where John Wayne appeared in the film The Quiet Man may he rest in peace with his family
That was a great movie. But, then again, every film he did with Maureen O'Hara was a winner. My absolute favorite is 'McClintock', I could watch that over and over. They seemed to have such a good chemistry together.
His children and grandchildren are still alive
True Grit was not his last movie. His last movie was The Shootist made in 1975
"Rooster Cogburn" was his next to last movie. It was the sequel to "True Grit". It came out in '75. "The Shootist" was the following year.
1976.
My brother and I travelled from Antrim/Belfast in Northern Ireland just to visit the grave. Although at the time you had to hunt for it, as the family still insisted that the office staff should not point in which direction. However after begging the lady office worker and explaining how far we had travelled she didn't tell me the exact location , but did point me in the right direction. Whist approaching the grave, we had noticed a visitor, so we stood back.
It was his daughter Marisa.. When she got into their car we slowly approached. Marisa waved. It was a day I cannot and will not forget. I am the fan and admirer. Why! Whilst in London in the making of the movie Brannigan, I had the opportunity to say hello, I was Private Chauffeur/ Driver at the time. I thank Mr Wayne for the memories and movie entertainment through all the years until now 2024. Huge collection (not cheap tack) and had a huge window engraved/sand blasted. R.I.P Mr Wayne. Thank you for the memories. (Ireland)
The Shootist was John’s last movie.
Great looking guy in his younger years. Very magnetic - look into his eyes. Big, big life, and now here he lies, quiet and still, beneath a plaque shoulder to shoulder with others that he probably didn't know.
I expected a much larger monument since he was larger than life!! He was the ultimate Cowboy for me.
John Wayne was my Grandma's very favorite, her hero, when I was little & would spend 2 weeks of summer vacation with her, she would never, ever miss anything he was in.
My granny loved him as well! All the kids would buy different Duke mementos over the years. She had one picture of him that was laminated onto a piece of wood. She hung it up in her living room and kept it until she passed, now my mom has it.
@@msbigdog1460said that you don't know that he was ultimately despicable human being
Tragic that your grandma didn't see him for what he truly was
Thanks for sharing, my dad who passed away in 2021, used to watch his movies all the time. He loved westerns
I always liked John Wayne movies to me John Wayne and Clint Eastwood you will always be my favorite when it comes to westerns.
I always wondered where the Legend was Buried, Thanks 👍
His wooden boat are still at the Newport Beach bay call "The Duke" and Orange County Airport call John Wayne Airport
@@user-fv2tj8en4g cheers 👍🍺
As always Lamont we appreciate your time and grate effort into making this video happen.
A great video,my Dad John Parsons liked John Wayne's movies,loved westerns.
It’s humbling to see such a person under a stone marker in 6 feet of ground. In the end we are all equal huh.
Amazing such a simple market for such a famous actor RIP John Wayne another great story Lamont!❤
You are a class act Lamont always respectful
Mr. Wayne you brought your fans so much joy
I THOUGHT THE SHOOTIST WAS HIS LAST MOVIE
I remember Nikki's auto accident and viewed those graphic, gory photos that shouldn't have been leaked
Amen 💔😢
Always liked him in movies 😊Thank you for sharing with us take care 🙂
Wow!!! I can't believe it was 1979!!! My Dad loved him.
ONE GREAT ACTOR MR JHON WAYNE THE DUKE FOR EVERBEST COWBOY 🇺🇸🇺🇸
BIG FAN FROM SCOTLAND UK
Surprised someone as famous as he was does not have a fancier headstone.
I'm surprised that his headstone wasn't bigger and nicer for it to stand out.
Rooster Cogburn was a really good movie for the fans. Thanks Lamont.
Read about the movie, the Conqueror. It was filmed near a nuclear testing site and 220 set member developed cancer with 42 dying. John Wayne and Susan Hayward included
Dick Powell who directed the movie died of cancer. Agnes Moorhead ( Endora from Bewitched) also died from cancer. Lee Van Cleef was also in it. His cause of death has been listed as heart disease but he was also battling throat cancer. So yeah a lot of people were exposed to that radiation.
I heard the same about the folks who worked on the tv show Bonanza.
My late father used to watch John Wayne movies a lot I knew who he was but not really my thing. your eyes look extra gorgeous today Lamont! Take care love from the UK x
The Shootist is his last film.
My late father in law loved John Wayne. ❤
My dad loved him so I grew up watching John Wayne great actor and loved watching them with my dad. Miss him very much
Your HOT ! 🔥
I just watched Three Godfathers yesterday. I love John Wayne movies.
Rip John Wayne aka the Duke 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 TRUE GRITS
great video. His last movie I believe was the Shootist with Lauren Bacall and James Stewart. He also appeared as himself on a hilarious episode of 'Maude'.
Harry Morgan, John Carradine, Scatman Crothers & Ron Howard were in that flick as well.
Thanks Lamont for sharing this with us. I was a John Wayne fan I loved watching his movies. I didn’t know that he was buried in a common grave I always thought he was in a mausoleum.
I believe his last role was in the shootist with Ron Howard.
RIP ,Duke. ❤
Believe Clint Eastwood is number 2 of the world's most famous cowboy actors 🤠
Here's the thing about John Wayne being "too old" to join the military in WW2 (and it could be true becoz the max age to join was 34 and I think still is. Ex-military here 🤚) But Clark Gable enlisted and he was 6 years older than John Wayne. In fact he flew in 5 combat missions as a gunner on a B-17 before Hollywood "pulled the plug" on that. They didn't want "The King Of Hollywood" getting killed.
So did Jimmy Stewart he flew a fighter plane and actually won medals
@@vicvega3614yes that's very true. Jimmy Stewart saw plenty of action in WW2. He was awarded several medals. And he was as big of a star as Gable was. I read that Gable was pulled from combat service because if he became a casualty of war then it would've stirred low morale during the war. It was even backed by FDR.
@@chrisboyer4194 yea those guys were real men back then. Can you imagine Leonardo Dicaprio or George Clooney going to fight and help our country today? Hell no. Pretty sad to think about
@@vicvega3614 people were more patriotic then. Now people don't give a 💩
It was rumored that John Wayne smoked 5-6 packs of cigarettes a day. 😞😞 R.I.P John Wayne ... my favorite actor
Yup and he had to get a lung removed because of it
My father hated him. He called him a war profiteer. He could have joined. Jimmy Stewart did. He made all the movies to have his brother and a lot of friends enlist. They never came home. My uncle never got complete training. They would taken Wayne in his 39s
Next in our era is Clint Eastwood
My dad was a huge fan of John Wayne back in the day. Love the baby picture of him. He had a big head lol.
Poor mom, 😂😂👍
Thank you for showing John grave he was my favorite cowboy 🤠 rest in peace Mr. JOHN WAYNE ❤
John Wayne. ❤ .My HERO of all time..
So SAD he only received one award for his acting... terrible 😢
His very last role was The Shootist woth Lauren Bacall Jimmy Stewart and Ronnie Howard
My Dad was a big fan of his/his movies. I liked his toughness/no nonsense, etc. but not a big western fan. If I had to watch one I'm guessing it would be his I liked, but never seen any of his movies. I don't know how but never seen any YT vids on him until now, never seen his grave! I really like his headstone, very nice. Thank you as always Lamont, love you! 💕💕
Thanks for the video And remembering him and some of his life stories.❤
He was my dads favourite actor with this western movies haaaaa as a kid I would sit and watch them with him. Haaaaaaa I liked him too. Heard he had lung cancer and after surgery was cancer free. And then got stomach cancer. In his history he did smoke and drink so that probably didn’t help his health issues
Thanks Lamont. I loved the war movies he starred in. ~LOVE ONE ANOTHER~~~~~Sherry.
Surprised that his resting place is so humble, or that it hasn’t been updated faded stone no flowers
Great video Lamont… And by the way right now you are 10 minutes away from where I live my friend.🤯. Happy holidays🎄
Nikki Catsouros AKA Porshe Girl is an amazing story. She was in an accident and someone from the California Motor Vehicle Department took pictures of the scene of the accident and of Nikki dead and the pictures of her were off the scare of how gruesome they were and some put the pics of her dead on the internet. Her family got 3 million dollars for pain and suffering from the pictures on the internet. They are so bad you might lose your lunch when you see them.
Actually someone sent her pics that someone from the California DMV took of the accident scene. I think what happens during the accident was that Nikki wasn’t wearing her seat belt and when the Porsche hit the pillar of the structure by the road and came to a dead stop instantly she kept moving forward and the rear view mirror broke off and that’s why she ended up looking the was she did in the accident scene photos. I’m not being specific about what happened because it’s too gory to write it here. If parents showed their kids a few of the accident pics and say, this is what can happen when you rebel against your parents. That would scare a lot of kids straight. She was killed instantly after the impact of the car and the concrete pillar. No pain at all, sudden death.
@@natefaust7790 Sudden death at such a young age and then eternity in one of 2 places. Seatbelts save lives far far more then not. But this accident? Would it of helped? Her boyfriend died too right?
@@Joanla1954 I don’t know about her boyfriend. But I was wrong about her not having her seat belt on. But she was killed instantly anyway. When you go from 100 mph to 0 in a split second you’re chances of surviving a crash are close to zero anyway. If you see pics of her still seat belted her head looked like someone took an ax and split her head in half. She didn’t look like a real person. I can’t understand how anyone could send accident pictures of her to her parents. What kind of disgusting person can do that to them? It would take an astoundingly crappy person to do that.
@@natefaust7790 I agree, if kids were shown what happens when you act a fool behind the wheel it would save many a young persons.
I remember when I started driving back in the early 80's, I had a 69 VW Beetle and when I needed parts the best place, and sometimes the only place, to find them was at the junkyard. I've walked quite a bit in those junkyards and during those walks seen many totalled out vehicles, many that took the drivers life.
I think that always stayed in the back of my mind and kept me from driving like an idiot.
@@msbigdog1460 that is great to know.
Love your videos Lamont❤
I loved watching John Wayne when I was growing up.
John Wayne's last movie he did before he died is The Shootist!!!
I grew up watching John Wayne my favourite actor and now one of my sons loves him. My Dad got me into him I watched his films with him ❤
John was the perfect Cowboy.
gosh the grass looks healthy and plush.
Never ceases to amaze me how humble his grave is despite being larger than life.
I remember seeing John Wayne on “I love Lucy”, she kept ruining his cement boot prints, something like that, I’ll have to search it and watch it.
Oh I love that episode! I must've watched it hundreds of times over the last 50 years and it cracks me up every time. 😂
@@msbigdog1460 I need to search that show, I haven’t seen it in so long, it was hilarious
She stole and then accidently broke the slab that was meant for The Graham's Chinese Theater. Then she begged him to make another one and then she ruined it. That kept on happening to her, so John Wayne just made her a whole set of them.
@@BeeFunKnee yes I remember lol 😂
@@gokathygo If we've thought it, it's still in there! "It's warmer in the country than it is in the summer!" There, now you'll always remember you heard that silly phrase from somewhere if you ever hear it again, too! It's something said in mid conversation when people are talking fast, just to see if they're even listening to what you're saying, by the way. It's just a little test. If they answer back with something about "the weather" or "mother nature", that means they're not even listening to anyone other than themselves. If they don't answer back with a "huh?!" or a "what!?", just say you gotta go pee or something and skedaddle. "Maine" says "hello".
my hero in life the greatest and biggest star of all time and the same thoughts he had on life in general are all relevant today . i went from scotland all the way to la just to pay my respects to my hero.god bless you duke il see you one day my friend..
It was very interesting to learn Tommy Gunn the boxer was related to John Wayne
A boy named, Sue......Marion 🌹
#2 cowboy actor would be Clint Eastwood. Clint was pretty much the successor to John Wayne.
John Wayne my favorite actor. Thank you for visiting his grave
I remember my dad used to watch John Wayne's movies 🎥 and rock in his rocking chair 😊
He was a excellent actor, great movies, sons played in some of them
A high school shop teacher I had was a John Wayne fan
Great video Lamount
I met Mr Wayne and talked to him and got his autograph on the set off the The Shootist as worked at heathrow airport, and in between takes i was the only one standing around watching so he walked over to me for a chat i will never forget
Yes thank you!!!
John Wayne was the best I have lot of friendly love for John more than anything John loved our country and he was proud of the United States.
God Bless you John Wayne you will always be missed!
No the hell he won't
I shook hands with John Wayne. We went to a premier of True Grit. My in laws were big fans. They named my late husband Marion and their other son Wayne.
The life of the famous pilgrim
I absolutely adored John Wayne. He reminded me of my grandfather.
He remain unmarked for many years.. decision from the family I read.. they don’t want too much people around.. now you can visit 👏🏼
Clint Eastwood is a living legend
This my friend, is very GROUNDING - tomorrow is the very most important thing, and then it is no longer. Fact of living is the end of living, dying is part of living. I appreciate every story. No matter how important one seems to be - in the end, we are all the same, all of us are exactly the same. We are now re-making his old movies - so that is a bit of homage - and our youth enjoy the old stories again (TRUE GRIT, for example).
Say Lamont I think you did a really great job on this video you did John w you are the man
My step father absolutely loved John Wayne, even named his daughter after one of the ladies in one of his films. Thank you for sharing!
The Kobe video was the first I watched from you, so it is sentimental (about three years ago)
I love going to the drive in movies to watch cowboy movies in the70’s . John was a great man and actor I was 13 years old and I thought he was handsome bad ass.
🤨 you're joking right ❓
You would think John would have a big ass monument.Hes is a legend .
John Wayne Smoked 6 packs of Cigarettes a day every day.
