John Wayne

Wayne wore a POW bracelet. WRONG! it was a silver bracelet give to him while filming the movie "The Green Berets". It is round silver with script put there by Montagnards tribesmen who made it. It was their way to express friendship and trust. If you wore one, you were immediately recognized as a friend of the "yards". Montagnards or Dega are to Vietnam like the Indians are to the United States. If you want a replica, go to STMP (Save the Montagnard People) on the Internet and order one. The Duke wore his silver Montagnard bracelet in many movies as he thought highly of these people. Montagnard is a name given to these folks by the French, meaning son or men of mountains. These tribes inhabited the central highlands of Vietnam and Cambodia and were our allies during the Vietnam War.

In THE COWBOYS (1972), he said "Hurry it up. We're burnin' daylight." --as Wil Andersen Link to a sound clilp of the above: http://www.reelclassics.com/Actors/Wayne/wayne3.htm

6'4" his weight ranged early in life 175 to 300 lbs during TRUE GRIT filming

"Outside is place for shooting" - 'True Grit' (1969).

You would need to access a reliable database of his entire film career. It would be a large job I think.

No. McQ is not one of the eight movies that John Wayne died in.

Some are masterpieces of the genre.

A lot of them are, at best, routine.

Some are just flat-out bad.

It's another way to say 'think before you speak'.

When he was 17 his height was officially measured as 6'3" and his studio bio listed him at 6'4"

John Wayne the Duke Lives On A Tribute - 1980 V is rated/received certificates of:

Australia:G

Yes -- he portrayed William T Sherman in a small part of the episode "The Colter Craven Story." He is listed as 'Michael Morris' in the credits.

I think the character's name was John Anderson. The Cowboys was one of Wayne's best and most-loved movies and one of only a few in which his character was married. It was also one of very few in which his character dies.

John Wayne's name in The Cowboys was actually Wil Andersen.

John Wayne's last film, The Shootist, was released August 20th, 1976

John Wayne never co-starred with anyone named Diane... the closest I can find is Diana Muldaur (McQ) and Diana Gibson (Adventure's End)

The now defunct Great Western Company

The line is "We never get lost...we just become powerful confused sometimes" and was spoken by Kirk Douglas in the movie "The Mountain Men"

I think you're confusing him with L'il Wayne.

John Wayne was considerably taller than that.

John Wayne was 6'4" (or a little taller)

John Wayne was never in the Armed Forces. The only rank he had were the ones his charachter's were awarded in his movies.
