Marion Mitchell Morrison    USA    1907-1979

born Marion Robert Morrison

stage name: John Wayne,

nickname: the Duke

In more than 200 films made over 50 years,

John Wayne saddled up

to become the greatest figure

of one of America's greatest native art forms,

the Western.

The movies he starred in

rode the range from

out-of-the-money sagebrush quickies

to such classics as "Stagecoach"

and "Red River."

He won an Oscar as best actor

for another western, "True Grit," in 1969.

Yet some of the best films he made

told stories far from the wilds

of the West, such as "The Quiet Man"

and

"The Long Voyage Home."
