Last year, we took a 23 day trip to the west and drove 7400 miles. Had a great time, and on our way out we stopped in Winterset, Iowa and saw the Duke's hometown and the house where he grew up. Nice little town, about 10 miles off the interstate.
Duke is the best...not sure why the gripe...

Yes sir...the only thing of significance I think I ever stole in my life was the gas and the time it took me to divert off my work schedule while driving down that road and seeing that sign. I went twice. The first day it was closed. I went back on my return trip. It was a good day.
I plan on taking a road trip like that next spring if the Lord doesn't take me home. I like that type trip.

Among the cast and crew who filmed The Conqueror (1956) on location near St. George, Utah, 91 cast/crew members developed some form of cancer at various times, including stars Wayne, Susan Hayward, Agnes Moorehead, Pedro Armendáriz, and director Dick Powell. The film was shot in southwestern Utah, east of and generally downwind from the site of recent U.S. Government nuclear weapons tests in southeastern Nevada. Many contend that radioactive fallout from these tests contaminated the film location and poisoned the film crew working there.[72][73] Despite the suggestion that Wayne's 1964 lung cancer and his 1979 stomach cancer resulted from nuclear contamination, he believed his lung cancer to have been a result of his six-pack-a-day cigarette habit.[74]...Wiki

Born Robert...no expert on John, just a tremendous fan of him and what he stood for.
Was one of the greats for certain. Would have liked to seen him in a movie with Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef.
I stated and even contacted Clint's studio back in the 80's telling them Clint should have tried to make a John Wayne biography type movie. I know it would have been completely out of character but if Clint could have pulled it off he would have went down as the greatest actor ever. He is/ was great anyway. Oh well to what could have been...
Quit ripping off my Major Payne gifs, hoss.
Now throw the baby out with the bath water and put this to rest...
I don't see the problem...
