Quote from porfle: “Here's a YouTube video I made a while back about THE SEARCHERS: Modern Vehicle Blooper in "THE SEARCHERS" (1956) ” It's almost as if the vehicle stops to watch the action in its distance (what we are focusing on, as the movie viewer)!

Guy in the middle, pointing at JW: Hey, guys, get a load out of this guy's goofy hat!

I LOVE the "John Wayne" reference in the song!

Duke: Hey, how did you rate a real slicker and I got stuck with some black trash bag?

The Mrs. and I are still around, though not as frequently (I am working full-time, with a 3+ hour total commute for the day).

Quote from Kevin: “Quote from Colorado Bob: “I'm not really sure exactly where to post this, but since it concern's John Wayne's 1936 film, The Oregon Trail, I figure here might be good place. I came across this article today from BBC news magazine. It's a good read, and the article contains a couple of links to clips of John Wayne interviews (including part of the Parkinson interview from 1974). All I can say regarding the article is, What A Find! Here's the URL: bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-2440745…

Probably far more appealing to people who live in Newport Beach, I would think. I'm with you, Mark.

A little late to this conversation, but I think we would be interested, simply based on the few pieces of art you have shared here. Really glad to hear it is without aliens!

Quote from Kevin: “TMZ: Actor, comedian Jerry Lewis dead at 91 TMZ: Actor, comedian Jerry Lewis dead at 91 - Story | WAGA ” Wow . . . he seemed almost timeless. Didn't quite make it to Labor Day weekend this year.

PERFECT picture, Kevin!

OK, for the privilege of the lady's company . . . Rock, Paper, Scissors!

Victor McLaglen: Ma'am, I don't know how to break this to you, but that purty white coat won't stay that way for long here at camp. Duke: I tried to tell her, but she just wouldn't listen.

I love the ability to sort in the different categories! How long did it take you to amass all that information and create the chart? Very useful and informative.

When I heard of his death, I pictured him in my mind in True Grit, and also thought about the fact that one of my earliest record purchases was one of his albums. One of the celebrity deaths that is more impacting for me. May he rest in peace, freed from the ravages of Alzheimer's. Mrs. C

I know when that poll was first put up, our son was also too young (like smokey's). He is 21 now and I think he would consider himself a John Wayne fan still. Maybe it IS time to update the poll. I know I was in a different age bracket back in 2003. Maybe an idea to make the poll more "timeless" would be to put brackets of birth years instead of age brackets. My birth YEAR won't change over time, but certainly my age bracket will.

Yeah . . . that habanero would be too much for me!

Thank you, colkid60, for sharing that article!

Quote from Kevin: “Happy Birthday Duke! Is anyone here on the forum at the birthday celebration in Winterset? ” I know Bill of PA is there, but has been posting some pics on Facebook.

Click the link at the end, for some nice photos (there are a couple of "family" pics among many that were taken during the making of The Undefeated) - 16 pictures in all.

According to Duke's grand-daughter Anita LaCava Swift, this park was indeed dedicated and opened on Friday, May 26th!

Quote from Alvaro: “Elly, I am interested in obtaining a copy of "Annie Lauruie" Can you help me?. My email es acastellonc@hotmail.com Thanks in advance, and also for being a John Wayna fan too, as I have been all my life, Álvaro ” Elly hasn't been active here for a few years, so please don't take it personally if you don't hear back from her. Wonderful lady, VERY knowledgeable especially about Duke's older pictures.

Welcome, Alvaro! You are not alone, in viewing Duke as a father figure - so many have over the decades! I think it's interesting that you list Tall in the Saddle among some of your first John Wayne films. We discovered it after having seem many of his films, and almost immediately it ranked among our favorites. But not as many as have seen that one as some of his better-known movies.

Signed!

Here's something I had not heard about before - 13-Ton Boulder Carved Into John Wayne's Head The article is recently published, but apparently a story that started quite a long time ago.

Definitely fixed! VERY interesting article.
