John Wayne made a speech to the Republican convention (1964?). that was dead on. After listening to the politicians drone on or spout, it was great to hear a professional deliver a speech. What forgets what a great artist he was.
Yes, we do tend to forget, it was one of the things I liked about Ronald Reagan and Charlton Heston they really knew how to deliver a stirring speech...must be that actor training. Fred Thompson is impressive too.
