Marion Robert Morrison
(May 26, 1907 – June 11, 1979), known professionally as
John Wayne
and nicknamed
The Duke
, was an American actor who became a
popular icon
through his starring roles in films made during
Hollywood's Golden Age
, especially in Western and war movies. His career flourished from the
silent era
of the 1920s through the
American New Wave
, as he appeared in a total of 179 film and television productions. He was among the top box-office draws for three decades, and he appeared with many other important Hollywood stars of his era. In 1999, the
American Film Institute
selected Wayne as one of the
greatest male stars
of classic American cinema.
Wayne was born in
Winterset, Iowa
, but grew up in
Southern California
. He lost a
football scholarship
to the
University of Southern California
as a result of a
bodysurfing
accident, and began working for the
Fox Film Corporation
. He appeared mostly in small parts, but his first leading role came in
Raoul Walsh
's Western
The Big Trail
(1930), an early widescreen film epic that was a box-office failure. He played leading roles in numerous
B movies
during the 1930s, most of them also Westerns, without becoming a major name.
John Ford
's
Stagecoach
(1939) made Wayne a mainstream star, and he starred in 142 motion pictures altogether. According to one biographer, "John Wayne personified for millions the nation's frontier heritage."
Wayne's other roles in Westerns include a cattleman driving his herd on the
Chisholm Trail
in
Red River
(1948), a
Civil War
veteran whose niece is abducted by a tribe of
Comanches
in
The Searchers
(1956), a troubled rancher competing with a lawyer (
James Stewart
) for a woman's hand in
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
(1962), and a
cantankerous one-eyed marshal
in
True Grit
(1969), for which he received the
Academy Award for Best Actor
. He is also remembered for his roles in
The Quiet Man
(1952) with
Maureen O'Hara
,
Rio Bravo
(1959) with
Dean Martin
, and
The Longest Day
(1962). In his final screen performance, he starred as an aging gunfighter battling cancer in
The Shootist
(1976). He made his last public appearance at the
Academy Awards
ceremony on April 9, 1979, and died of stomach cancer two months later. He was posthumously awarded the
Presidential Medal of Freedom
, the highest civilian honor of the United States.
Patrick John Morrison
(born July 15, 1939), better known by his stage name
Patrick Wayne
, is an American actor. He is the second son of movie star
John Wayne
and his first wife, Josephine Alicia Saenz. He made over 40 films, including eleven with his father.
Later in his career, Wayne became a television host with the 1980 variety program
The Monte Carlo Show
and the 1990 revival of
Tic-Tac-Dough
.
