JOHN WAYNE

John Wayne began life as Marion Morrison in Winterset, Iowa.

After his family made its way to L.A., and an injury sidelined him from USC football, he began working full-time as a prop man for movie studios.

His natural strength, good spirit, good looks, and determination carried him through nearly a decade of B-movies before he became a star.

Thirty-five years after his death, he was still listed as one of America’s five favorite movie stars; he became “indivisibly associated with America itself.”
