Contrary to what the original person posted below, John Wayne WAS NOT a member of the Birch Society. You may confirm that by contacting the current President of the Birch Society, John McManus.
The rumor concerning Wayne being a JBS member got started because of a statement by an FBI informant who observed that if somebody like Wayne was a member he most likely would belong to the Beverly Hills chapter which included actors such as Walter Brennan and Zasu Pitts and Hollywood gossip columnist Hedda Hopper and playwright Morrie Ryskind. The informant had no personal knowledge about the matter---- he was merely speculating -- and wrongly, as it turns out.
