Yes. According to the book, John Wayne: The Man Behind the Myth (Michael Munn pp13-14) one of the firefighters was a former professional boxer who gave him self defense lessons after he got a black eye from a neighborhood bully.
Marion Morrison was born in Winterset, Iowa; and the home he grew up is now a museum. His family went to California due to his father's health, and they ended up in Glendale. His studio decided that "Marion" didn't fit the image they wanted for their actor, and felt a general's name -- specifically Anthony Wayne -- would be better. The studio also decided that "Anthony" didn't sound "American" enough, so they gave him the stage name of John Wayne.
I'm not sure if you are asking about a gun or a horse. His horse was sold shortly before his death in 1979. His extensive gun collection was in the care of his oldest son Michael. With Michael's death I think the collection is now in the John Wayne Museum where everyone can enjoy it.MOREI looked this up and found out Wayne gave his Colt SAA to a man by the name of Gary Hess who worked for him as an engineer in his DECO gas/oil company. Gary came up with a new method to extract natural gas. When Wayne told him he didn't know how to repay him Hess asked for the gun and Wayne gave it to him. In 2003 it was sold by Battlefield's to Dr. Robert W. Azar of Parkersburg, WV who still has it. Until I looked this up I would have guessed it was in the Wayne Museum too, but actually the story attached to the gun is pretty interesting.
I believe when growing up his family was Protestant but Wayne married three times, all were Catholic, two relapsed Catholic. His children were more or less raised in the Catholic faith and shortly before his death he converted to Catholosism, I think mostly to please his older children.
None of the participants have ever revealed what she said. Knowing how directors get spontaneous reactions from their actors, it is REASONABLE to assume that John Ford had O'Hara say something raunchy in Wayne's ear in order to get a genuine surprised reaction. But that's just a guess.
John Wayne was born Marion Robert Morrison. Shortly after his parents decided to name their second boy Robert & his name was changed to Marion Mitchell Morrison although it seems Wayne alternately gave out his name as Marion MichaelMorrison because he liked the name.

No one knows. But she gave birth to a midget. And named him Wayne.
Although many established Hollywood stars gave up their careers for the good of their country, John Wayne never had enough self-sacrifice to do so. His studio, Republic Pictures, took a lot of effort to ensure Wayne neither enlisted nor got classified 1-A, and The Duke never made any effort to overcome their objections.
If not John, then who?
