John Wayne

"He wore size 12 shoes and was 6 foot 4, so I guess about average size."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm sorry, but from what my own eyes tell me, there is just NO WAY this can be true.

Lauren Bacall, who worked with him on two films, stated unequivocally (2005 episode of TCM's, "Private Screenings" interview show) that he had "small" feet (though she doesn't elaborate on what, exactly, she considers "small").

Never having heard this before, I searched the internet, and came across a number of photos on www.flickr.com (search "John Wayne feet"), of people comparing their foot size with that of the shoe impression he left in a slab of concrete at Grauman's Chinese Theatre back in 1950

Though most of the people in those shots don't mention the size of their feet, there is at least one person (wearing size 13 brown boots) who does, which can be seen here:

Though that person's foot is in a boot, which probably makes it look a bit bigger than it really is, it CLEARLY dwarfs the imprint left behind by Mr. Wayne.

Based on this, I would guess that John Wayne PROBABLY had a shoe size smaller than size 10......but that's just my opinion.

The Mighty John Waynes was created in 1996.

Classic movies starring John Wayne are available on DVD at Walmart, Target, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, eBay, and from Warner Brothers direct online. They can also be found at Sears, Family Video, Movies Unlimited, CD Universe and just about anywhere DVD movies are sold, as they are still popular films.

We've been researching this as well. It looks like anywhere from $1400 - $2000, unless you are in a hurry to sell it, it might be a little less then. Check out gunbroker.com to see some of the same model for sale...

whatever someone who wants it is willing to pay for it

John Wayne and director John Ford teamed up on 21 films

In 1978 for the Australian Logie Awards, John was snatched up last minute to do a Crosbys Boots Advert, and reprise the Rooster Cogburn character.

it was filmed at Strawaberry Fields, just past Pitt Town Near Windsor NSW...most of the buildings have been relocated to Australiana Pioneer Village at Wilberforce ...Especially the Saloon he walked out of....there were 3 versions to this advert...one a Cinema Advertisment ran for 1 minute and looked like a John Wayne Movie...the other two were a 30 Second and 20 second Tv spot. search John Wayne Crosbys...and John Wayne Bloopers on youtube you will find him in Rooster Cogburn outfit doing the ad.

His album was titled-John Wayne:America, Why I Love Her and was surprisingly a big hit going platinum twice, years apart.

No. You may have your biblical epics confused. John Wayne did appear in 'The Greatest Story Ever Told'

John Wayne would be the first to admit that he could consume vast quantities of alcohol. But it was not on a daily basis. When he would hang with friends away from the hussle and bussle of film-making they could stay awake for two or three days in a row drinking and playing cards. Yes, he could drink most of his friends under the table, as they say, but it was merely boys being boys. It never seemed to interfere with his work or his personal life.

According to John Wayne and Television by Billy Ingram "John Wayne stepped up the pace of his TV appearances in the seventies to bolster the box-office receipts for his latest detective dramas and rope operas."

Wayne spanked O'Hara in The Quiet Man and McClintock.

John Wayne Died June 11, 1979 in California at the UCLA Medical Center.

Mcclintok

First, the actual quotation is: "somebody oughta belt you in the mouth. But I won't, I won't. The hell I won't! " Second, the movie title is spelled 'McLintock!' It is Radar O'Reilly's Wayne impersonation from M*A*S*H that begins "I'm not gonna hit you..."

pre med is not correct

The Answer is Pre-Law.

John Wayne played Sandy Saunders in Riders of Destiny.

Yes, Ben Peters did paint a picture of John Wayne. I own one.

John Wayne won Best Actor for his portrayal of Marshall Rooster Cogburn.

Because he stood for true American values

Of Wayne's three marriages his second was the most tumultuous and probably the one he would have rather kept quiet about. Wayne, never a stranger to alcohol, had married a woman who could and did drink more than he did. She accused him of spousal abuse and even claimed he once threw her shall in the mud. Worse yet, her mother lived with them and the mother drank at least as much as her daughter.

It is probably true there was too much drinking going on. But whether he actually hit her is unknown and probably just gossip. I would imagine had she really been hit police would have been involved. That was never the case. Wayne once made the comment that his second wife was too evil to conceive (they had no children together despite Wayne's obvious fertility). What is true is that this same wife almost shot him when he returned from a night out. She claimed it was mistaken identity, thinking a burglar had broken in. Maybe she did, maybe she didn't. Whatever the truth is we may never know. She died within a year of their divorce. I believe it was alcohol related.

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.
