John Wayne's stunt double for 30 years was actor Riley R. Waters. He was Wayne's double from 1948's "Red River", right up to "True Grit". Waters died November 28, 1987.

During Wayne's "Poverty Row" years, Yakima Canutt did a lot of stunts for Wayne, including a famous scene in Stagecoach . In the link below, watch the scenes of Yakima leaping from 0:42 and 0:58 -- and remember that those horses really were going at high speed as he did so.
