This is one of my favorite John Wayne movies and the name of the young actors that played JD Cahill's sons were Gary Grimes and Clay O'Brien. I thought they both did a great job.

Did John Wayne have any roadblocks in his life?

Like everybody else, he had problems and setbacks that he had to overcome. His parents divorced and his father died when he was a college student at USC. He was bankrupt twice, once because his son-in-law squandered his fortune, which caused the breakup of his daughter's marriage. He had to rebuild after each of these financial setbacks. He had a lung removed because of cancer. He had 2 divorces and a separation from his third wife.

Everyone's life has ups and downs but when asked about his life, he always said he felt very lucky and that he had a great life.

Why did John Wayne not want to work with Clint Eastwood?

Some look at Wayne's refusal of the Dirty Harry role a mistake or at least a missed opportunity. Wayne didn't see it that way. Although he thought the character was worth a look the language made him take a pass. He would not say the curse words that the script called for and the powers that be would not compromise. A stroke of luck for Clint Eastwood, but I doubt Wayne had any regrets.

Why did Marion Robert Morrison change his name to John Wayne?

Legally he never did. I think he still signed his given name Marion Morrison. As a child he was called Duke along with his dog named the same. The name John Wayne was the suggestion of a director. He thought it sounded more masculine than Marion. He was probably right, and since that time he was known to the world as John Wayne.
