Marion Michael Morrison (born Marion Robert Morrison; May 26, 1907 - June 11, 1979), better known by his stage name John Wayne, was an American film actor, director and producer. He epitomized rugged masculinity and became an enduring American icon. He is famous for his distinctive voice, walk and height. He was also known for his conservative political views and his support, beginning in the 1950s, for anti-communist positions.

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.

  • Also well known for avoiding serving in the military during WWII when so many other actors did. He stayed "back home" to further his career. He didn't have a medical deferment from the military. That is a myth perpetuated by Hollywood and his fans who mistake him for a hero instead of an actor.

  • LOVELY!!! Amazing tribute to the great John Wayne!
