John Wayne

Wayne, whose real name was Marion Morrison, played characters named John numerous times during his career. Two of his most memorable roles were Sgt. John Stryker in "Sands of Iwo Jima" (1949) and John Bernard Books in his final film, "The Shootist" (1976).

John Wayne did in fact, wear a wig. The Duke felt it was against his image as an American hero to be bald. In a few of his movies if you look carefully you can see the wig flip in some of the fight scenes.

There is a famous question given by a Harvard Student when the Duke was in Boston. Something to the effect of him wearing a cheap wig and the Duke replied. It's true it's not my hair but it sure as hell wasn't cheap.

Hope that hooks you up.

Yes. He attended grade school and high school (Glendale High School) in Glendale, California and then attended the University of Southern California (USC) on an athletic scholarship, majoring in pre-law.

John Wayne appeared in 172 movies. See the Related Links below for a full list of John Wayne's movie appearances.

No, although he helped James Arness land the star part. He also did an ad for this TV series.

I've seen them go as high as $2900.00 and as low as $1500.00 on auctions. All depends on how big of a fan of "The Duke's" is bidding.

The actress was Angie Dickinson. She came into town and he recognized her as being wanted as the accessory to a gambler. She told her story and the sheriff agreed to take care of the wanted posters.

It depends on the condition, and what accessories are available with it. Collectors value lower serial numbers, and the serial number indicated is near the end of the production run (there were 49,000 JW Commemorative's made). New in the box (no damage or wear to the box, with all accessories (leather strap, booklet, oil paper, literature, etc.) and never been fired or cycled, around $2500. Optional accessories, like the Bianchi leather scabbard, gun rack, etc., will also increase the value (they're worth about $450 each in excellent condition).

If you've got the commemorative ammo to go with it, that'll bump the value up as well. The original value of a single box was about $35.

The ammunition made came in a box that matched the gun box (Duke's picture on it), in 32-40 caliber, nickel plated shells, each stamped with "The Duke" on the primer end of the shell.

John Wayne was born in 1907 and died in 1979. He made many movies during that time and even appeared in some television shows. He was involved in approximately 170 productions. A full list can be viewed here: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000078/

No, John Wayne was not an Eagle Scout.

He was, however, a scout as a youth and he was an ardent supporter of scouting, At a fund raising dinner for a scout camp shortly before his death he made some now famous commentary on The Scout Law.

No, the Duke was a tall man, Six Foot four, no llift brackets needed. Like ( Buck) General Humberto, also technically a Duke or high Prince! Called Buck as he held the titular rank of Brigadier ( lowest General rank) General, one star. I am speaking of the Italian crown prince, not Mr. Wayne.

Actually there is information on this very question in a recent American Rifleman article. The grips were made of Calalin, I believe it is Bakelite. The article says that Wayne liked them so much he actually tea stained them himself to replicate old ivory. Although he did use other Colts from Stembridge, the supplier of movie firearms, and at least one had those type of grips, in most movies he used his own Colt with the Catalin yellow grips. He also had finger grooves in the left grip. The interesting thing about the gun is that it was a combination of several Colts. Originally a Bisley, it had been altered by adding a regular SAA grip and the triggerguard had been enlarged, probably to better fit the Duke's large finger and make it easier to twirl. And actually it is not a .45 as thought, but a .44-40. He gifted this gun and his holster and belt to an employee and it is now in a private collection. It really is an interesting look when you see a good picture of it. I would like to build one to go with my own Duke gun rig. I suspect the Duke's own Colt would be worth 6 figures.

It's possible you are refering to Rio Bravo. The singing cowboy part went to Rick Nelson.

Yes, she did, she was bit by a snake.

Yes he did and, surprisingly enough, it is the only movie he ever won an oscar for. Personaly I thought he had much better movies such as "Sands of Iwo Jima" and "The searchers" but that was the one he got it for.

no
