- John Wayne remains an American icon thanks to his roles in popular Westerns and war movies, but what do we really know about him? From his early days to his heights of fame and later controversies, this is the untold truth of John Wayne.
Wayne was born Marion Robert Morrison in 1907 in Iowa. In 1914, he headed west with his family to California. Young Wayne's closest companion was his little dog, an Airedale named Duke. The two were so inseparable that they became known as "Little Duke" and "Big Duke," and thus a lifelong nickname was born. While attending Glendale High School, Wayne excelled at football and theater.
At first, he believed he was destined for a career on the gridiron. He played so well that he received a scholarship to play for the University of Southern California Trojans. In his leisure time, he was a typical surfer dude at Newport Beach. Unfortunately, his days on the waves and his budding football career ended in 1926 when he was injured in a bodysurfing accident. This forced him to leave school, and he began working for local movie studios.

that clown was such a hero they named an airport after him in california
Rio Bravo
The Shootest
My Father a US Marine Corps Officer Worked on set with John Wayne in Sands of Iwo Jima and a Few Other Movies. My Father said John Wayne was very personable and always remembered my Fathers name and addressed him sincerely and with respect whether in casual conversation or in trying to portray a Marine in the movies. John Wayne took advice and actually rehearsed giving commands and orders in the movies. My Father had the utmost respect for John Wayne and that is saying alot. My Father hated everybody equally. Not Joking... If you were not a US Marine you were nothing more than a Maggot surviving on the dead corpses he provided. That was my Fathers Mindset.
John Wayne was a racist KKK loving fool
@@gregtennessee8249 So was your Mom's
I like his thinkin..my father was front line Marine rifleman with the 6th div 22nd reg wounded on Okinawa and kinda had that mindset too..civillians for the most part are a pain in the ass.....
John Wayne contrived to get the deferment. Read Garry Wills’ John Wayne’s America. He put his career over his country. He was later so ashamed of his cowardly refusal to serve that he tried to make up for it in the 1950’s when he gladly gave the McCarthy’s witch hunts for commies lots of Hollywood actor’s names and destroyed their careers. He had no character, just the opposite of what he tried to be in his movies.Wayne was a coward and a draft dodger. Wayne was the furthest thing from an actual marine and a hero.
Your Father was a Great man !!! I never saw him or knes of him before your comment ,none like that today !
My late father served in the 101st Airborne during WW2, he said whenever JW movies about WW2 came out my late father and his buddies would laugh out loud and say “We were there, don’t remember seeing that guy over there…” My late Dad was my hero, had 6 campaign medals, Purple Heart with 2 clovers and a bronze star…
Hi Lorne! I just want to express to you my sincere gratitude to your Dad and his buddies (&, indeed, to all of my fellow US military veterans) for their unselfish service to our country. They are the TRUE patriots🇺🇸 of America. Your Dad's service was patriotism and bravery at the HIGHEST level; I salute him with utmost respect. Thank you for telling us about him, Lorne! May God bless him forever🙏
Duke dodged the draft.
@@MrShobar yes he also refused to have Audie Murphy co star with him, John was a big money maker so he got his wish, But John Ford said later in life, Wayne loved to play the hero & a real life hero was a little to big for his ego
I personally think he did more for the war effort as well as recruiting by doing what he did in movies. I agree that being a nobody in the military wouldn’t have utilized his star power effectively. That’s just my opinion
@@ryancarroll3961 Read Lorne Trudeau above. Duke did nothing for the war effort except supplement his bank account.
John Wayne was an avid fisherman and flew down here to La Paz BCS and Cabo San Lucas. He was a good friend of my Mamas. We owned a store that sold Mexican artesanías.
My mama was a beautiful long legged 5’11 brunette, with movie star looks. (No fooling around).
No one EVER says anything about his love of Mexico! So, now you know.
He even learned Spanish though with his slow drawl accent - it sounded pretty bad.
Great star
Are you his son then? 😆
Despite my differences politics with John Wayne, I still like most of his films. The good thing about the Duke was you could talk to him and he would listen, he may not agree with you but he would not hold it against you either.
Irisheddy i
Tom Beckman i
Like hell he wouldn't.🤠
I'm glad you are a lib,irisheddy, Mr Wayne wasn't as you know, knowing that you are a lib, I have an instant dislike for you and what you stand for. Your sides policy's not mine. But isn't it strange your people don't like it when we use the same tactics as you do.
Yeah because when he had to be held back for attacking a native woman who accepted Brando's award he really showed he was open to different dialogues. Do you people live in an alternative universe.
"He who is without sin, cast the first stone." John 8:7. John Wayne wasn't a saint. Nobody is. But he gave so much to America during his life, he will always rein as one of the top actors in history, and patriot in this old Marine's heart.
Well said. I am an old Squid and still like him too. Lots of good memories watching his flicks with my old man. I do think Duke would do it different with respect to serving if he had it to do over. To his credit - he did go visit the troops in Vietnam in 1966.
Never will we see great western films like they made many years ago I still watch them now
I'm 75 and I loved all of John Wayne movies. I also enjoyed the old westerns when he was young.
John Wayne westerns were my favourite as a kid....My father would take me to the cinema to see the latest JW movie that was around 50 yrs ago.....still have a fond connection to that time....
Surprise surprise devolve into dust
i never liked this dude and his movies. i like John Wayne Gacy more^^
They only highlight them and not others like Bruce lee
@@johnduncan4725 as we all do.
John Wayne cowboy movies where our 50,s 60,s faves !
Love Him Or Hate Him You Always Knew Where He Stood
He stood with the KKK...he was a racist white supremacist. That's why you people like him.
John Wayne was excellent actor and did good things for people all his life. He never had to trash people for attention !!!
He blacklisted people.
Except black people lmao
Pedro Armendariz also got cancer 7:28 , one of the best Mexican actors of all time
He will always be my favorite as a fatherless child growing up when I first saw Duke Wayne I choose him as my father roll!!!
His roles are for the most part the epitome of what a man SHOULD be. and so rarely is anymore.
I too looked at him as my other father
@I hate u Want You must be a sniveling, bed-wetting, piece of shit!!!
@I hate u Want I am hispanic. So what?
Even the writer Joan Didion fantasized about him as her leading manly man.
Purdy good role model nobody is perfect but he was a mans man. In his roles he displayed a never give up attitude and grit that every little boy should have in his life.
That says I'm as good as any body else I just got to keep my chin up and have no quit attitude. It serves you well in life,,
If you take a look at the personal lives of all these celebrities. A lot of them are not the angels
that we depict them to be. John Wayne is just one of many.
I somewhat agree, nobody is perfect but then again I lead a completely different life than Wayne, I think it all depends on how we are raised and who we grow up to as individuals. I can be a big asshole at times not that I want to be but I think I just have a low tolerance for society and stupid bullshit Lol 😂😂😂I usually keep to myself because I am much more laid back when I am on my own and doing my own thing.
Perfectly said. He was just a normal, screwed up human being like we all are. The good and the bad. Just like all other movie stars. People confuse actors with the characters they play way too much.
I had dinner once with John Wayne when I was a kid. It was in Glacier Bay Alaska, he came up on his converted military boat.
That would have been quite a treat.
@boogiedahomey Liar!
!
@boogiedahomey well that doesn't surprise me.. his real name is Marilyn after all 😂
You never heard a Black man or a Brown man who worked with Wayne say anything bad about him before or after he died. All 3 of his wives were Mexican. Go after TCM if you want to apply today's standers to the distant past. A lot there to work with.
I loved him in Liberty Valance~~
The first John Wayne movie I ever saw was The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance in the local movie theater of the town he was born in. I believe it was 1962 or 63.
An unusually small but solid roll for him
Alot of black actors were in John Wayne movies,at the time of that interview he was talking against the black panther movement and other radicals just like what's going on now.
Absolutely, it's "creative editing, accenting"etc. Printing things certain ways to where you aren't "legally" misquoting, but professional writing in such a way to make the same sentence take on an entirely different meaning than how it was originally verbalized.
Frankly, as a small businessman myself as well as all of my buddies I can think of off the top of my head. Several of which are minority's would damn sure hire those they felt would profit their business most, as opposed to "I gotta so many of this & so many of that just based color not talent....They'd laugh in the face of anyone suggesting the opposite.
That's right and that's what I keep trying to explain to people, if you're young and you don't know what was blowing around in the air at that time and what he was responding to when he said that then it's easy to use it to make him look bad, but he was responding to something that's pretty much exactly what's going on with the BLM crap right now.
That interview was an ambush and a hatchet job in the first place and then all these years later people want to cherry pick the answers from that interview just to make him look bad.
And now USC is planning on taking the John Wayne Exhibit down. The whole thing stinks.
And he was quite right too. Unfortunately, people now are led as cattle and can only believe propaganda.
@@dukecraig2402 So what about the interview made him say that he believed in white supremacy no one forced him to say or believe that and anyone with an IQ higher than 50 could've responded like a moral person
I remember the day John Wayne died. I was just a kid. It felt like a little bit of America died that day..
Same.
It did. Just the same as when JFK, MLK, Ronald Reagan and Robin Williams died. They all left a mark on the world and they should always be remembered
David Osterberg wow, you are lacking a sense of humour then.
Same here, it was like it couldn't happen, I was 20. Then a friend of mine & started talking about what he'd been going through, I was glad he was in peace and out of pain.
@@discernment8963 I worked the 4-12 shift at U S Steel. We got off work went to a bar and drank a shot to to the DUKE.
I'm 17 now but all the John Wayne movies I've watched when I was young like 11,12 years old I loved them all rip a true legend in movie making
You are still pretty young but good that got into John Wayne films as I know people your age or in 20s who never watched any of his movies. I am 33 almost 34 and grew up on John Wayne and Clint Eastwood with my Dad. My wife’s brother who is 17 has heard of John Wayne and has watched westerns but is not a big fan and more into Fast and The Furious movies but does like sports movies including Rocky series.
If you live your life using the same principle he and the charactors in his movies had. You will be quite the honorable fellow
@@thomasmendez2816 good point got it and yeah I don't use the same principles in that the movies had
Did you know that John Wayne was too chickenshit to serve his country after the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor? Solid proof that he was and died a complete pathetic coward! John Wayne clearly can't act either!!!!!!!!!
@@craigklein5563 ok I never knew the first part of course but he's not a bad actor his western films are true awesomeness
John Wayne American treasure.
Loved John Wayne movies
seeing your PFP I'm not surprised birds of a feather stick together
I remember Mr. Wayne when he often visited my friend's radiotelephone shop in Anaheim in the 1970s, before the introduction of cellular. He drove a large green Chevrolet station wagon and was always a true gentleman. My friend went to lunch with Mr. Wayne when he came over, and we fixed his car phone, and cleaned and waxed his car even though he never asked. He was an icon in Orange County, and if the airport's name is ever changed, that will be my signal to leave.
@Thalmus Scantlebury hahaha!!!!!
He was a racist asshole
Im 73 years old and grew up with John Wayne movies. I feel that his movies got better with age. I agree with most all of his political views. In 1967 I was st fort Benning Georgia just finished up jump school and received my orders for Vietnam and going through jungle school training. John Wayne was there filming green beret and I had the opportunity to meet and shake his hand. His hands were very large He sounded the same in real life as in the movies. I do wish that he had served in the military during wwll.
@@earlhester825 What about his constant ridicule of small men? He kinda believed that any man under 6' wasn't a "real man". Don't you think that's kinda arrogant? I mean, Tyson was 5'10", and he'd drop Wayne in under 5 seconds. My brother is 5'7" and he'd kill Wayne too! XD
@@TheVanillatech you’re living up to the small man syndrome stereotypes
I was fascinated by the movie “The Kentuckian” made in 1949, John Wayne acted with Oliver Hardy in a serious role. One of three movies that Hardy played without Stan Laurel.
Oliver Hardy was underrated as a character actor - they should have used him in more film roles.
I believe the movie was named "The Fighting Kentuckian." The star of The Kentuckian was Burt Lancaster.
@@BettyBoop1938 You are correct.
The John Wayne movie “The High and the Mighty” and Wayne’s portrayal of an airline pilot strongly influenced me to become an airline pilot myself. My Dad was a WWII B-17 and B-24 pilot but Wayne’s character in that movie really swayed me into pursuit of being a pilot! I was six years old when I saw the first time the movie would be shown on TV many for many years and I watched it at every opportunity. ❤
Boring who cares! You probably made that story up!
@@gregsmith1342 You inconsiderate POS!
@@DirtyLilHobo liar liar pants on fire!
@@DirtyLilHobo John Wayne and Rock Hudson was lovers!
But Wayne was merely an actor. Your role model should have been the mild and self-effacing Jimmy Stewart who - unlike Wayne - volunteered for the armed forces in WW2, became a bomber pilot flying highly dangerous bombing raids to defeat Nazi aggression, and who ended up a Brigadier General in the USAF. Wayne PRETENDED to be a fearless warrior, but dodged serving: Stewart WAS such a warrior.
The quiet man is a great movie
Mac Attack you’re so right, not shown enough though
There are those that were in Hollywood at the time that say he should've got an Oscar for that one but he was an enemy of enough people because of his anti communist position and the way it clashed with many of the people behind the scenes.
What made that movie memorable were the very talented supporting actors like Berry Fitzgerald, Marine O'Hara, McLaglen, Bond, and so on, they carried the scenes. John, with that monotone voice; delivered a line with the same vocal inflection whether it was a fight scene or a love scene. Sorry, not a fan of "the Dukes" acting abilities.
@@CARETAKER1313 I agree, he was a great film star but not a great actor.
Great movie,and well acted from the supporting cast..greetings from Ireland.
That gunfighter quote about how most men hesitate before being willing to take a human life is from Wild Bill Hickock.
Wild Bill didn't have a patent on that saying, most of the guys who survived the old West said the same exact thing including Wyatt Earp who Wayne met on a movie set when he was young, so if you can attribute him getting it from anyone it'd most likely be Earp.
Besides, the writers write the lines, not the actors.
Hesitation in real world situations can get you killed.
I saw John Wayne at Hastings Race Track in Vancouver in about 1968. I was surprised at how tall he was. he was a very large man.
Six feet four inches
John Wayne’s slow like drawl was perfect for the image of his large frame and toughness and also conveyed Hollywood’s depiction of the western cowboy. Once Wayne had established the cowboy persona no-one could better it. To override this reasonably good guy image it was necessary to produce realistically hard life like Western movies as for example “Unforgiven”. John Wayne will always be a legend. Thank you for posting.
John Wayne at his best could project a darker side where necessary, most noticeably in 'Red River' and 'The Searchers'. With a good script and a good director John Wayne gave fine performances, unfortunately he made many routine movies, especially when he needed to recoup his savings after sinking them in 'The Alamo'. His best performances equal those of any of those of classic Hollywood leading male stars.
John Wayne was a racist coward
I heard the real Wyatt Earp, retired from being a Marshall in Tombstone, AZ. really hiding out laying low in L.A. would frequent the Western Movie sets, and he hanged around in the break rooms. The Duke picked up a lot of his mannerisms and timing by listening to Wyatt Earp.
CLINT EASTWOOD
John Wayne is a flashy hollywoodized nazi cowboy Clint Eastwood is the real movie gunslinger
I truly love all of J. Wayne’s movies!! I wish we could watch them all on television today, they surly a hell of a lot better than the crap they play today!! 🙏🇺🇸❤️
He was J.B. Books in The Shootist, not Brooks.
My favourite actor of all time. A true man. Surprised he didn’t like riding horses. He rode like a true natural.
a man that size is a horse killer, horses probaly hated him he had no seat at all
@tongkatable He tried to volunteer - once with John Ford's own combat film company - and was rejected. You're believing Leftist-Communist propaganda.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
John Wayne won me a lot of money. The night before a big horse race I had a dream of him standing at my table with his arms apart but pointing towards gold and silver treasure there. Never in my life have I ever had a dream like that. Next day there was a horse called 'The Duke' running in a big race. I put on a big bet and won a lot of dosh.

My favorite memory about John Wayne is when he did Rappin' Duke. Classic!
Aloha John Wayne and Grunge !!! For me I really liked all of his movies ~~~ whether it be westerns, war movies of W.W. II and and he played
his roles adeptly , romantically, and the "guy in charge who called the shots." Of course he was funny, comical, and cared about native American Indians.
Overall, I think he was a true gentleman and loved performing in movies !!!! Thank you for his life documentary. He is as human as all humans can
be ~~~~~~ Handsome, woman lover, great compassionate leader, and fair to everyone !!!! R.I.P. John Wayne !!! Robert S.J. Hu Aug. 29, 2020.
Nobody lives without mistakes.
- John was a *drunk.*
He was introduced to Frank Zappa once and prior, Frank thought it would be a cool encounter as Frank really enjoyed John's acting.
When the introduction came, John Wayne looked at Frank and said, "Yeah, I remember seeing you play in Egypt. Then you blew me!"
- Fukk John Wayne.
RIP John Wayne. I grew up watching his movies and I still love them today. I was 18 years old when he died. My buddies and I were at the beach after graduating from high school. It sort of cast a show on the whole week.
Müslims will take over america
Rip John Wayne the great white man to ever live!
Besides goerge Bush the first.
And Ronald
You love an evil racist
He is actually one of my far relatives
A racist prick
Winterset Iowa to be exact!!!
if people actually read history they would know that what John Wayne said was just common sense. He is right about snowflakes no matter what the snowflakes say.
Calls people a snowflake while easily upset over the facts - he was a bigoted asshole.
Hahahahahahaha
My brother has got every film that was made of John Wayne he’s even got a cuckoo type clock where every hour the duke pops out on horseback and gives a neigh,great stuff
Something tells me that your brother never had the courage to step forward and serve in the US Military. Most people that love John Wayne are people that never serve their country.
His films didn,t let you down. He earned his Jeep, and that of the other actors, and staff. he had a story to tell, and his films entertained. I liked him very much .
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Let the poor man rest in peace
@Decimus Septimus Tutelus showing your mental capacity now? Simpson's hahaha
He's a KKK loving white supremacist...
I never did realize that my Father and John Wayne were borned the same year, and passed away the same year.
Yet, your father probably fought in WW2, and wasn’t a chickenhawk like John Wayne.
@@Brian-xu9di john Wayne did what he could for the war effort in ww 2.... did you serve?
@@Brian-xu9di No my Father wasn't in the Military too old, and too many kids at home.
The first movie I ever saw was True Grit at the Tampa theater in 1968. I’m a police officer in the same city and I consider him to be a great American.
Officer 469, I saw "True Grit" back in 68' , it Was a fairly good portrayal by Wayne, of the lead character who I think, was called "Bruster Cogburn". Then in 2010' Jeff Bridges did a remake of the movie and the Bruster character, and got an academy nomination for the role. Bridges played that role like Wayne never could of.
@@CARETAKER1313 Rooster not Bruster!
@@Hattonbank Bernie, I stand corrected, Rooster not Bruster, I was relying on the memory of a character's name in a movie I have, but haven't watched for a few years.
Yep,a great guy who refused to serve his country in the 2nd World War. What a hero indeed.
@@CARETAKER1313 u4true .... the 2010 vers particularly the script / screenplay made for an exceptionally realistic movie with your comment on the Bruster character very succinct.
I love the movie son's of Katie Elder
The native stunt horsemen in the searchers said Wayne was an excellent horseman.
A great actor, great movies especially The Quiet Man, let the man Rip.
IMO The Quiet Man was his best film!
Great actor? Great star, sure. Likeable screen persona, perhaps. Epoch-capturing figure, maybe. But a great actor? Steiger, Olivier, DeNiro, Day Lewis great? Or more someone who played pretty much the same character with exactly the same speech patterns and inflections in every role sort of great?
@@iansmith3457 there was a time when he was what people thought of when people said American, get it, An Icon, but you can not relate, let me guess, your favorite movie is scare face, typical
@@whitestains1656 Thanks Joe. I’ll give this a go. Feel it’s against the odds but I’m up for a challenge. Firstly though what is scare face please?
So are you saying that because his screen persona captured a particular view of how some Americans wanted to view their country in the 1950s that alone made him a great actor? And presumably when that view changed in the 60s and 70s he no longer became a great actor even though he was still playing the same roles the same way?
I think you could make a case for many Hollywood stars of his era to be really good actors. One part of this I think is that a good actor is able to play really different characters so that you forget who you’re watching. Fonda for example, almost unrecognisable in 12 Angry Men and Once Upon a Time in The West, Steiger so different in the Pawnbroker and In The Heat of the Night, William Holden Sunset Boulevard and the Wild Bunch.
The only good John Wayne performance I can remember was The Searchers wherein he played a tough, straight talking, intolerant but redeeming cowboy and swaggered about the screen drawling his speech, waggling his shoulders and hips….. hang on, he was like that in most of his films wasn’t he?
@@iansmith3457 great with what he was given at that time, yes.
Love most of his movies how do you choose but I particularly like his films with Maureen o hara why those two didn't get married perfect pair so it's The quiet Man for me...
he gave her rolls so she could make a living because her husband was a stuntman and got killed
@@vanturner9560 he also said she was the best man he knew of. He respected her.
Love John Wayne - yesterday, today and tomorrow 👍
He will always be one of the biggest American icons!! Definitely my favorite actor!! 👍👍👍☝
He was an extreme racist and a cowardly bitch
@@timothygeiger437
That’s why the left loves destroying American icons and history while lauding a child that is mutilated in the name of the insidious lark “ trans “
Love the Duke now, more than ever!
When John Wayne visited Australia in the mid 70's, a small local shoe company offered him $10,000 to shoot a couple of TV ads. Now at the time he was getting hundreds of thousands of dollars to appear in ads in the US and was so amused by the offer that he actually did it.
YT always deletes my comments when I have links in them but if you search for 'crosby outlaw shoes john wayne' you will find them.
He was Down Under for the TVWeek Awards in 1975 and did the Hush Puppy ads taking over 30 “takes’ to get the dialog right.He enjoyed a laugh and fishing with the Aussie crew. I had a stash of his favourite booze..Wild Turkey Bourbon and Souza Commemorative Tequila…
I don't believe you, you made this story up, a bunch of hog malarkey!
The Shootist/The Cowboys/The Searchers .Triple tie,nuff said!
You forgot one, hell fighters
I don't care what the critics say. John Wayne was the coolest actor going.
Well he rarely showed much emotion if that's your definition of "cool". Terrible and wooden.
@@stephenreeds3632 go back to watching the avengers, chief
Wayne said nothing wrong about black people, his words make good sense.
RandomComputer that may be just a tad racist but only a tad.
Like Scale from Betty White to David Duke you’re a solid Mel Gibbons...
I think the duke was referring to the social issues within low income communities at the time.
The number one movie was the Alamo for John Wayne so if anybody don't know that it's something wrong with you even I know that and I was a kid but be blessful and always be grateful that you know certain things love John Wayne the dude was the dude he walked a certain kind of way he talked a certain way and he moved like he was moving mountains be blessed for in Jesus name love the mother love the babe love sweetness smooches always in Jesus name hey man we pray
J.B. Books , was the name of the main character in the Shootist. Not Brooks.
When he was saying his goodbyes to Lauren Bacall in an indirect manner
That was great stuff, what a scene
The westerns movies starring John Wayne were the very few sunshine's of my childhood. The movie theater tickets were very cheap at that time in my country Romania so very often during the big summer holly day I could see them two-three times in a row. We were missing food on the table, traveling on foot for not giving money to the public transportation, but we had our share of movies.
I love your story, thank you!❤
Very inspiring story😊❤
I love his movie’s Cowboys and El Dorado are my favorite
So interesting 🎵🎵🎶🎶🎶🎶🎅🎅🌲🌲🎅🎄🎄🤶Merry Christmas Carol
John Wayne is my favorite actor. Watch his movies all the time. The likes of Wayne will never come again. RIP!

It's a great film.
Great cast
I never knew of his political views. Although I will admire him for being a terrific actor and pushing it all the way till the end of his days.
He had great political views, if you listen to the actual interviews he is well spoken about his ideas. They chopped it up to disparage him.
What's wrong with his political views? Other than them not being the same as yours?
He had actual American political views and they ring true today.
Did not watch this video. Remember him how I always remembered HIM. Brought distraction and pleasure during the darkest days of WWII.
Also Buddy Holly used his line from the Searchers to make a hit song,Gene Pitney sang the song The Man who shot Liberty Valance.
@Joseph Lisitza
Author's are quite often livid about what Hollywood does with their books, that's why Catcher in the Rye will never be made into a movie, J.D. Salinger sold a short story to Hollywood and they changed it resulting in him being infuriated and swearing that Hollywood would never make another movie from his writings, it's even in his will and part of the condition of his estate.
The best one though is Steven King, every time he'd sell a script to Hollywood they'd change it and he'd complain, then he'd turn around and sell them another one then complain again, finally he got the bright idea that he'd direct a movie himself from one of his works but he was so coked out of his mind he bitched about the way it came out (Maximum Overdrive, which I personally like) as much as if Hollywood would have done it, so he just went back to selling them his work and bitching about it every time they made a movie.

That depends on who they are, if they're a nobody then they'll never get that deal, there's a big difference between a novelist and a screenwriter, usually if the author of a book is listed as a screenwriter he's not the sole one, if he is the sole screenwriter then he's someone who's already done screenwriting for Hollywood and they know he knows what he's doing, they've learned their lesson over the years about letting a novelist write a screenplay, they have a tendency to make them 3 times longer than what can be shot on film.

@Joseph Lisitza
Yea, that's a perfect example, being an actor and having experience in movies Palmintari would know how to write a screenplay, novelists have a tendency to want to write a screenplay like a mini novel and they make something that's just isn't shootable.
Producer's and director's talk about that kind of thing a lot in DVD extras, I guess novelists have a tendency to treat a script like it's their child and they feel like cutting certain pieces off of it is like having to cut pieces off of their kid.
His dad owned a ranch for a while and Wayne had the horse riding skill of someone who learned young. Maybe he didn't like it but he was excellent at it. Some people hate driving with a clutch but that doesn't mean they aren't good at it.
He was also very good at avoiding fighting in a real war, like many of his fellow actors did. Chickenhawk.
@@Brian-xu9di He was 34, married with 4 children and...wait for it...he was never drafted. Nor did he "avoid" "fighting" in the war. You can find out the facts by looking it all up right here on the internet. Do you hold all those born in 1908, who were married with families, who were not drafted in contempt because they did not go out of their way to serve in the armed forces? Think carefully, if possible.
@@juliebless7119 Two of my uncles fought in WW2 - one had 6 young children, the other had 3. Both of them signed up to fight the day after Pearl Harbor. John Wayne stayed home to make a boatload of money while the movie stars that were his competition for the big roles went off to fight. He also stayed home because he was afraid to lose Marlene. He made movies that helped entertain the troops - and that was a great contribution - but he was still a chickenhawk.
@@Brian-xu9di You did not answer my question. Do you or do you not hold all those who were not drafted and chose not to volunteer in the same contempt? And, one more question, do you purport to know the motives of everyone who did not serve in WWII? I would assert that you can not know anyone's motive unless they personally shared that information with you. Beyond that, everything that you asserted about Wayne's motives was just made up in your head after jumping to conclusions. Isn't that right? We were blessed by your relatives' service. I bet they were blessed to be able to forget the difficulties they faced daily as enlisted men by being able to sit for a few hours after a difficult day and enjoy one or two of the 30+ movies John Wayne made during the war. Perhaps he visited them during the three months he took off from making pictures to go to the front lines and visit troops. Perhaps it was very little compared to the contributions of most others but I'm sure it was more than some were able to do.

Marion Robert Morrison aka John Wayne was just an "actor" trying to make a living, but also a product of his era and environment like we all are. Regardless of his political ideologies, he was entertaining. Face it. People are not who you want them to be. Our favorite celebrity stars, mentors, heroes and even our parents are all capable of some human disappointment and especially when it's been hidden. Kirk Douglas once quoted that the problem with John Wayne was that he thought he was John Wayne.
He may have been "just" an actor, and a product of his times...but he was an uncommonly GOOD actor!! He had a certain aura about him on-stage, and there is no doubt that he did in fact have splendid skills in the acting sphere. If he didn't, he wouldn't have lasted 50 years in the business.

Loved him in an unusually small role
“ the man who shot Liberty Vallance “
This program was fair enough so far as it went, but it was all very familiar. There was nothing "untold" in this story. Duke was a great and durable star, and as flawed a human being as most others. I will say that there was nothing mean or pettyabout him.
I'm presuming you aren't black or native American

The jealousy reveals itself
@@paulbartels6585 whose jealousy over what?
In the 1970's I enlisted in the USMC after watching John Wayne in the "Sands of Iwo Jima", I was at Jacksonville, NC in 1979, the USO there sent him a giant 4 foot by 8 foot multi-folded get well card which I & many Marines singed. Then on June 11, 1979 John Wayne passed away.
FYI: John Wayne tried hard to enlist, but he was 34 years old at the time of Pearl Harbor and (classified as 3-A - family deferment). John Wayne repeatedly tried to enlist but Republic Pictures threatened to sue him if he did, and intervened in the Selective Service process, requesting Wayne's further deferment.
Thank you...
Hey Tom,
Thanks for speaking the truth! The left lies about him because he was a conservative and an American, through and through. And frankly, if more men were like him, America wouldn't be in the mess we're in today ...
My mother-in-law, who is a young 86, still loves John Wayne... and, me? Well, I'll always be a fan ...
Research further and deeper!
@@draggingcanoe1461 Another hero with bone spurs was sent to Australia to avoid the draft (Mel Gibson).
@@draggingcanoe1461 I’m
His name was Marion Michael not Robert
His name at birth was Marion Robert Morrison. Following the birth of his younger brother, Robert, his parents changed his middle name to Michael.
@@jknuttel Another twist is his middle name went from “Robert” to “Mitchell” to “Michael”. His maternal Grand father was wounded in the Civil War causing erratic behavior due to the head wound and later died in an asylum. As Duke became more successful in the movie business, he though it would be tabloid fodder exploited at Duke's expense. To distance himself from the possibility he changed Mitchell to Michael. And that is the rest of the story.
@@muleepete
Until I was born in 1965 and they were looking for a name for me, and I can assure you that I've met every single person in America who's had a dog named Duke at one point or the other in their life.
My paternal grandma was some type of cousin to John Wayne i wish i could have met him
🤔.. just ONE movie? 😓 The pressure 😜. The Searchers 🤠🐎🌟❗ Rio Bravo. Angel & the Badman. Great stories. Great actors in each 😘.
Toooooo many from the the thirties until the end ❤️👍🙏😄. I think of one, then another, then another.😄
John Wayne is a National treasure 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Fun Fact, John inspired more people world wide in comparison towards America. Guys a legend
From Ireland☘ loved John Wayne movies and still watch them. My favourite is everyone of them. 🤠
He was a KKK loving racist
And trump Lost hahahahaha
I always enjoyed watching John Wayne and wanted to meet him. 💋
My all time movie hero!! Love all his movies!!
An iconic movie star. I grew up with Clint Eastwood and love his movies. I am older now and really enjoy John Wayne westerns.
Didn't realize at the time but I followed many of his beliefs such as if you believe in something be able to defend it ,don't be a coward,tough guys don't cry and believe in America. To me,he was a hero.
Great man.
man of his time.
i WORKED WITH HIM IN 1970 the cancer was from smoking 7 packs a day he told us he had a weak stomach his son Patrick told me when we was making Rio Lobo he put milk and bread in a class and ate that .He was a real great actor and every one liked him Just watch his movies Rev Mike Church of the light
That's what i figured, not sure why they tie his cancer to the movie site of bomb test.
interesting stiry
story:)
@@ag358 There were other "Downwinders" living in the area. Radiation gave many cancer. It wasn't confined to the movie set.
The Longest Day is my favorite movie
My friend Pepe is still alive. He was very good friends with the Dude
The dude is Jeff bridges sir
1) John Wayne often pushed for more minority roles in his films, and for pivotal, memorable characters -- more than virtually any other actor of his time. 2) During his entire life, not once was he accused of treating anyone with disrespect because of their race, religion or gender (except maybe his ex-wives). 3) Holding John Wayne accountable by today's sensibilities for comments he made during a different era is both mean-spirited and disingenuous, especially since he is no longer here to explain his sentiments - and those people trying so hard to destroy a good man's legacy should be ashamed of themselves.
They did mentioned, Duke saying Minorities need better education. But the left wants to bring down everything American, So they can bring in a marxist slave pit like in Venezuela, China and North Korea.
@@dragdragon23 well he was right about that!.
Absolutely agreed 👍🏾🤝
@@dragdragon23 Marxist slave pit hahahahaha you have no clue what you are talking about
He literally said he wouldn't go seek out minority roles and only put them in "proper roles" such as slaves so what are you talking about. Also, don't bring up that "It was acceptable back then" bullshit when millions of people thought white supremacy was a terrible blot on our society. And what was so good about him? just because your dad likes his movies doesn't make him a great person
Good ol Jhon Wayne .
I love John Wayne.. I also agree with him.
As a guest I watched a John Wayne movie in South Korea. John Wayne in a high pitched Korean voice -memorial, also the S. Korea movie that has extremely funny with one of their own actors being the lead.
Still my favorite after all these years.
John Wayne was an actor who became more than he was as a person like many actors did!
He had to because his true person was a racist, misogynist, hypocritical, asshole.
Love watching John Wayne movies.
An ICON for all times
He was literally a white supremacist?
A racist coward
A joke
Like hell i am.
I love watching John Wayne movies, I'm a true fan. From his first till his last.
Still continue watching them today..
I was in my late teens when he passed, a tragic day.
No one ever sat a horse, like JW. Brilliant !
