His family moved to Southern California when he was four. He was a surfer and athlete.
John Wayne’s final resting spot is overlooking Newport Harbor. His old home has been torn down and replaced in the harbor.
His old ship the Wild Goose is still located in the harbor but converted into a harbor cruise boat.
