John Bernard Books.
"Old Dollar" was the name of John Bernard Books' horse (Wayne's character, in his last film role) in the movie "The Shootist". Before going to his fate, he gives the horse to Ron Howard (Gillom Rogers), son of Lauren Bacall's character Bond Rogers, whose home Books has been boarding in.
Wayne's character was John Bernard Books, or JB Books. Wayne's last film, The Shootist was released in 1976, and was somewhat prophetic. Books was dying of cancer as did Wayne three years later.
