Yes. On April 7, 1970, Wayne was presented the 1969 Best Actor award by Barbra Streisand. Wayne won his only Oscar for his performance as one-eyed U.S. Marshal Reuben J. "Rooster" Cogburn in "True Grit." At the awards ceremony, Wayne declared that if he had known the role would win him an Oscar, "I would have put that patch on 35 years earlier."
