John Wayne really only played one character in every movie that he made. He played John Wayne and did it with such style that there will never be anyone close to him. The only movie of his that I thought was miscast was "The Conqueror" in which he played Temujin (aka Genghis Khan). It was actually funny in a way from beginning to end since the dialogue was almost Shakespearean in character and the Duke, bless his soul, never deviated from the old John Wayne drawl. Still it was entertaining.

You hit the nail on the head.... each movie from the 60s and 70s were all made using the same "formula." And every one of them are classics. He used a lot of the same actors in them too. I remember going to the drive-in in 1970 to see "Hell Fighters." I wish I could find that movie online again... Yes, I said a drive-in movie. If you were in genZ, don't worry about it, you missed them. Every high school kid's on the weekend included a drive in with beer from someone's dad's stash in the garage.. lol

The biggest failing in Hollywood was in not recognizing John's talent as an actor while he was active. He was so natural and graceful in his performances that people said he wasn't a good actor, when the opposite was true. If you can see an actor acting then they ain't doing their job. He should have been nominated for the Searchers and a number of other pictures.

On May 26, 2020 John Wayne would have been 113. He was bigger than life on the big screen. But there was a movie in which he had one line only. In The Greatest Story Ever Told, he played the Centurion at the foot of the cross. His line was, "truly, this man was the Son of God." The movie is a Hollywood version of the many stories of the Bible.

I just love The Duke. My mother loved him. Someone once told me, the only reason he didn't win more awards is because he wasn't acting. What you saw was the man himself. He was proud to be an American. I love the westerns ,war pictures all of them.

I remember this story of Mr. Wayne and Frank Sonatra. The two famously hated eachother, so it was a cruel twist from fate that put Wayne' hotel room the floor above Sonatra's late night room party. When repeated complaint calls to the hotel management only resulted in an increase in volume, he went downstairs to sort it out himself. When Sonatra answered the door, Wayne gave him his rightfully owned piece of his mind. Sonatra's bodyguard took offense with the classic "Hey! you cant talk to him that way!" and moving in for the intimidating staredown Wayne left, but not before knocking the guard's jaw into orbit and crashing the nearest chair over the guy's head. Wayne wasn't an actor, he was a cowboy with a camera crew.

Leonard Malton once said "the thing missing from most westerns is John Wayne"' so true. People forget that he was not a real cowboy. He was an outstanding actor who studied his craft. He was as good, natural, instinctive, and talented asCooper, Tracey, and Fonda yet never gets credit because like them he made it look easy. Too many reviewed his politics (which even as a Canadian I agree with) and not his work. Just look at the Searchers and then True Grit. The man had range! A great actor and my hero.....always

My dad always showed me John Wayne movies. They’re so legendary. No other westerns can compete.

Thought it was cool that saddled dude bending down from a standing horse to pick a hat up off the ground. That is not easy.

Damn, good dad. That movie couldn't be made today

Red River. I never get tired of it. Greatest Western I've ever seen. Dunson-- what a powerful character that only the Duke could play to perfection.

Poor great actor Robert Duvall had to be the object of one of the greatest western lines that ever came out of John Wayne's mouth: "Fill your hands you son of a bitch." You can become a legendary actor just for having someone like Wayne say that to you in a film like True Grit. Somehow I knew way back then that Duvall would be one of the greats as well, and in westerns he did.

Today is the Duke's birthday. Happy birthday big John !!!!

@JW...-oj5iw

kettch777 ... Jon Erik Hexum comes to mind. IIRC, Brandon Lee took a live round that was supposed to be a blank, unless I'm thinking about some TV episode. Since I wasn't sure about the circumstances, I googled Brandon Lee's death and learned the facts. Very freak accident that I can certainly understand because I have done some experiments with blanks and firing projectiles from a revolver. In the case of Lee, a mistake in the prop department led to the tragic accident. Someone had made "dummy" cartridges by pulling bullets and dumping the powder before returning the bullets to the cases. Something seems fishy about the story, but it's officially an accident. Anyway, the dummy cartridge had a live primer and the gun was fired, shoving the bullet into the rear of the barrel where it has a tapered section called the forcing cone. Apparently, the primer was strong enough to push the bullet through the forcing cone. It was probably nearly flush at the rear of the barrel. After the bullet was lodged in the barrel, blank cartridges were loaded for a shooting scene. Sadly, no one was aware of the situation and when the actor fired the revolver, the blank cartridge launched the bullet with enough energy to penetrate Lee's abdomen, wounding him too severely to save. There was probably a delay in responding to the emergency due to not realizing what happened until real blood became apparent. Even then, they probably wouldn't have realized it was a bullet strike. The actor probably wasn't familiar with recoil vs blank firing. Hopefully, Lee's death has led to much stricter safety requirements for firearms handling in movie making. Coincidentally, both actors were killed with .44 Magnum caliber handguns. Maybe Smith and Wesson model 29 revolvers. Hexum thought the blanks were safe to fire in any fashion and in an attempt to make a joke, he put the muzzle to his temple and pulled the trigger. The blast sent skull fragments deep into his brain, killing him almost instantly. Even though he had no chance for survival, attempts to save him were made for hours and several days passed before he was declared brain dead. His organs were donated to several recipients and he was cremated and scattered to the world.
