The film was actually set in the town of Inishfree, but that is not a real place. It also had several members of Maureen O'Haras family in it, as well as three of the Dukes own children.
Much of the filming was in Cong, in county Mayo, [[home of many a salmon poacher(God bless them)]]. The town of Cong is the place to see all of the famous destinations in the film. The original Pat Cohen bar is there and many other sites. Also, the cast stayed at Ashford Castle nearby, also worth visiting or adding to your research. (updated May 2009) Apparently the little house John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara lived in in the film was in another different place completely to where the rest of movie was made because my friends went up to visit it and found out.
She did. In fact, she is still alive and has been keeping busy with her painting. She is a very talented artist and her paints sell for quite alot of money.
Dr. Dyer has been married 3 times. His children are: Shane, Stephanie, Skye, Sommer, Serena, Sands and Saje from his third wife, Marcelene. His daughter Tracy is from his first marriage to a woman named Judy.
He speaks the line to Ann Margaret in the movie "The Train Robbers".
Sean Thornton "retires" to Ireland to escape violence & live the quiet life and then is forced fight in order to achieve it.
If the script asked for it then he did. That would be the only time Wayne would have been riding since he didn't really care for horses and would not have spent his leisure time in the saddle.
James Dean appeared in only four movies in his entire career, and none of them had any appearance of John Wayne.
The bar tender shot him in the back. Than Ron Howard shot the bartender and Wayne died in front of Ron Howard, but not before seeing Ron throw the gun away, leaving Wayne to take the blame, which is the way he wanted it.
No. John Wayne played football for USC not UCLA.
I believe it was The Quiet Man, filmed in Ireland in the 1940s.
No. The two were never in any film together.
John Wayne's penultimate western was also his penultimate film: Rooster Cogburn (1975). He reprised the role he played in True Grit.
Reportedly after John Waynes death, Dollor was offered back to the man who initially gave him to the film company (see 1st related link) but he declined and Dollor was sold at auction for $17,000 USD. As of 1985 Dollor (then age 17) was living on a horse ranch in Midlothian Texas (see 2nd related link)
It would be priceless because of who he was but i'd like to know a dollar value
John Wayne & Sammy Davis Jr never appeared together in a feature film.
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."
