John Wayne: An American Hero
October 3rd, 2011 | Posted by Paul |
John Wayne: An American Hero. Personal items his family has stored for decades will be sold at a public auction later this week in Los Angeles.
The outfit from “McLintock!” The cap from “The High and the Mighty.” An eye patch from “True Grit,” the 1969 film for which he won his Oscar -all on sale. Damn! I wish I could be there for that!
John Wayne truly was An American Hero – and a hero to many people around the world. And even today 32 years after his death, John Wayne is still one of America’s most popular actors, ranking third just this year in a poll of America’s favorite movie stars (after Johnny Depp and Denzel Washington).
If there’s anyone in LA at the auction – snap me up something, eh?
