Some can be had for under $50. Some of the more expensive ones are several hundred per plate. There is a large variety online, and you can compare and shop for hours. What they are worth for resale depends on the maker and how many were made to begin with. I have one that I bought around the time of his death in 1979. I think it's a Franklin Mint and it's resale value is about $100 at present.

Well, honey, John Wayne made a whopping 167 feature films during his career. That's more movies than most people can even sit through in a lifetime! So, buckle up and start watching if you want to catch up on all of the Duke's classics.

The quote from John Wayne in the movie "Big Jake" is: "Between your brother's love of pretty toys and your high moral tone, you'll be lucky if you end up with a handful of friends." This quote highlights the contrast between material possessions and moral values, suggesting that true friendships are based on deeper connections beyond superficial interests. John Wayne's character in the film uses this quote to emphasize the importance of integrity and genuine relationships over materialistic pursuits.

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)

I think he may have, just from his quote "that this was me having fun, first time I felt like an actor" Watching the clip in slow motion, it certainly looks like him on the horse going over the fence. Anyhow, i'd like to think he did just the same....

John Wayne in the character of Tom Donovan, used the word "pilgrim" when talking to Ransom Stoddard (played by Jimmy Stewart) in the movie "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance". He called Stoddard "pilgrim", because Stoddard was coming out west to settle in the new territories that had not yet become states in much the same way as the original Pilgrims came to this country.

David Wayne and John Wayne are not related. David Wayne, born Wayne James McMeekan, was an American actor known for his work on stage and screen. John Wayne, born Marion Robert Morrison, was also an American actor and filmmaker, known for his iconic roles in Western films. Despite sharing the last name "Wayne," there is no familial relation between the two actors.

The scene in "The Alamo" with John Wayne admiring a large tree was filmed at the actual Alamo Mission in San Antonio, Texas. The tree in question is known as the "Wishing Tree" and it is still standing in the Alamo courtyard today. The tree holds historical significance as it is believed that soldiers stationed at the Alamo during the famous battle would touch or lean against it for good luck before going into battle.

Maybe you should ask his three wives, his seven children and numerous grandchildren, or the scores of women he had relationships with. There were a lot of closet gays in the Hollywood of yesteryear but John Wayne was not one of them. He never showed any interest in any of the same sex except as a drinking buddy.

As much as Wayne didn't care for horses, he really loved dogs. One in particular, Blacky, saved his wife and baby daughter from certain death in a house fire. Blacky was a dashound and became a hero when his persistant barking woke up the household while Wayne was away filming a movie.

John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart appeared together in the 1962 film "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance," directed by John Ford. This classic Western film showcases the talents of both legendary actors in a story about the complexities of justice and heroism in the Old West. Their on-screen chemistry and performances in this film have solidified it as a timeless piece of cinema history.

Yes, John Wayne dressed as a woman for a comedic scene in the 1972 film "The Cowboys." In the movie, he played the role of a rancher who disguises himself to avoid detection. While this was a humorous moment, it was not a common occurrence in his career, as Wayne was primarily known for his tough-guy roles in Westerns and action films.

John Wayne Airport (SNA) is approximately 14 miles from Anaheim, California. The drive typically takes around 20 to 30 minutes, depending on traffic conditions. This proximity makes it a convenient airport for visitors heading to Disneyland and other attractions in Anaheim.

The theme of "The Quiet Man" by Maurice Walsh revolves around the idea of personal identity and the struggle of balancing tradition with personal desires. The protagonist, Shawn Thornton, must navigate his own values and expectations in the face of societal pressures and family traditions. Ultimately, the story explores themes of independence, love, and cultural identity.

When the boys find out (in the hotel room) Jake tells them...

"There were seven Mc Candles people killed, one crippled, your own brother shot maybe crippled, maybe even dead, and my grandson kidnapped, I ain't gonna pay 'em for that."

Jake re-words what John Thane tells him only minutes before about his grandson they are their to pay the ransom for:

"Now you understand. Anything goes wrong, anything at all, your fault, my fault, nobodys fault, I'm gonna blow your head off. It's as simple as that. No matter what else happens, no matter who else gets killed, I'm gonna blow your head off."

None of the participants have ever revealed what she said.

Knowing how directors get spontaneous reactions from their actors, it is REASONABLE to assume that John Ford had O'Hara say something raunchy in Wayne's ear in order to get a genuine surprised reaction. But that's just a guess.

"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.
