BTW if that intern want to know if he or she get TCM OR AMC TV check it out you know who the Duke is

[SevenofNine]

One thing for sure Dubya has one scoreboard over THE DUKE and Ronnie he is real Cowboy LOL!

[SevenofNine]

I was fortunate to fly out of John Wayne airport mannn that place fly out it less congestive than LAX airport but one thing for sure everybody would see John Wayne statute the DUKE is front door of that airport

[presidio9]

I hear on TCM they going have John Wayne as star of the month in MAY

The Duke is rolling over in his grave about the fact that Ted Turner will be making money off his name.

[SevenofNine]

Yeah that true he own majority of the rights of Movies remember Republic picture became part of Warner Bros when they sold out long time ago and since Warner bros library is on TCM I think Duke would’t be very unpleased

BTW presidio I wonder how Duke feel about today movie stars like tom Cruise brad Pitt and others

I have feeling he be asking what this scientolgoy s**t

[presidio9]

I think he would have approved of Bruce Willis (even if his caracter in Die Hard said he preferred Roy Rogers).

He also would have liked Denzel Washington and Kurt Russell.

[The Sons of Liberty]

John Wayne - AMERICAN

Emblazoned on his Congressional Gold Medal; pretty much says it all.

Wow, Lee Van Cleef, Lee Marvin, Jimmy Stewart and John Wayne. Thats a room full of real men although they were Hollywood actors. It would be tough to duplicate that scene today.

[rockthecasbah]

Hands down - The Green Berets was one of my favorite movies growing up

[dalereed]

He was origionally from Glendale California, graduated from Glendale High School.

We were good friends of John and Pilar.

[Delphinium]

I loved Ward Bond. I miss my dad every time I see his picture.

He was a close friend of John Wayne.

[Delphinium]

I will post a picture when I remember how.

[Slicksadick]

Best JW movie.

[Vision]

"So what's this empty nonsense about Ronald Reagan being just an actor"

[Slicksadick]

BTW, The Searchers, was picked by Wayne as his favorite role, and pioneered the antihero persona.
