This was to toe-rag that made his films on the back of other actors that were fighting for their country. Am I saying he was a coward? Why, yes. I am calling this toe-rag a coward. I don't like him or is damn films.
@056716 Actually, it was the Utah desert and was the fallout from the Nevada Test Site. But you're talking about a lifetime of smoking versus a couple days radiation exposure; smoking is the main cause, otherwise all of Kane County Utah would be dead from cancer. They LIVED THERE for years...
Actually, JohnFord the Director he mostly worked with also died of cancer, Kinda strange they both got it plus a bunch of other actors for filimg in the nevada desert downwind where the did nuclear tests, I don't think the smokes helped either
I have some PSAs for the American Cancer Society with John Wayne on my DVDs. Not this one, though. It's a good PSA. Thanks for posting it! What I find ironic is that John Wayne was pitching Camel cigarettes about 10-15 years prior to when he contracted cancer. I know, 'cause I have an ad on my DVDs with John Wayne pitching Camels. Plus I'm sure you can find Camels ads with John Wayne here on Youtube. I don't think it's any coincidence that he first smokes Camels, then gets cancer!

@spy4863 interesting! I wonder if Camel cut him a check to help with his medical expenses...

It was said that John Wayne smoked 6 packs per day, and this is what caused his death.

Kind of sad that in 2010 cancer is stronger than ever.

He wears that same hat in The Shootist. Usless bit of trivia for ya.
