Like many of us – for good or ill – a lot of what I know comes from watching television.
Occasionally I learn something nice. On a recent episode of "Antiques Roadshow" there was this fellow who told of how his father was a crew member for many John Wayne movies. He said that on every movie, Wayne would give each member of the cast and crew a coffee mug on which was painted the name of the film, a scene from the film and an individual greeting, such as, "To Joe, from Duke."
John Wayne — born 110 years ago, on May 26, 1907 — embodied a very particular kind of American hero.

After all, it was a time when audiences could also opt for a newer kind of star (exemplified in Dustin Hoffman, who shared the magazine's cover with the… [Read More]
Newport Beach could honor screen legend and one-time resident John Wayne with a park.
Mayor Kevin Muldoon wants to rename an existing park after Wayne as a companion of sorts for the city's John Wayne Day, which Muldoon spearheaded last year.

FOX411: What was Hollywood like politically in the 70s?
When John Wayne and Perry Como rolled into Colonial Williamsburg to film a Christmas special in 1978, one local boy tried hard to meet them and would hold on to the memory for decades.
Blake Patterson was about six years old in the fall of 1978, when Como and Wayne came to Williamsburg with a crew to shoot “Perry Como’s Early American Christmas,” a colonial-themed television program.
Patterson, a web developer who lives in Alexandria, didn’t know who Como was. But his father was a fan of… [Read More]
