John Wayne had a massive impact on pop culture. For example, one of Lady Gaga‘s songs is called “John Wayne.” Gaga revealed the song reflects her relationship with her father and other men.

During a 2016 interview with Apple Music, Gaga said she didn’t want to overly concern herself with… [Read More]
When you find yourself in Fort Worth, you can stop by a museum dedicated to one of America's greatest actors.
John Wayne might not have been a Texas native, but he always had a fondness for the Lone Star State.
"He's done a lot of movies about Texas and certainly about American heritage," says son Patrick Wayne, who became a Hollywood actor in his own right, "and the core values of what it means to be an American are strongly felt here down in Texas."
In the Fort Worth Stockyards, you can… [Read More]

I’ll bet you didn’t know that there was a John Wayne museum in the Fort Worth Stockyards. I didn’t either until just recently. The John Wayne: An American Experience exhibit opened quietly last December in the Stockyards as part of the much ballyhooed Mule Alley redevelopment.
The official dedication of the museum, which is filled with images and a curated collection of personal items and movie costumes of the film star and Western icon, will be held next Wednesday, May 26.
General entertainment television network INSP announced today that every weekend in May will be dedicated to the best Western films of legendary screen star John Wayne, "The Duke."
The announcement came from Doug Butts, SVP of Programming for INSP. "Our viewers have responded consistently and positively to our commitment to airing Westerns on our network, and we will keep delivering what they want," said Butts. "This will mark the sixth year of devoting a month of weekends to the iconic Wayne,… [Read More]

Along with Flash Gordon, Joseph Campbell, and about a million other things, George Lucas was inspired by The Searchers when he created Star Wars. The director even slid a few subtle references to the film into A New Hope.
The star of The Searchers, of course, is John Wayne, so it's cool in a full-circle kind of way that his grandson is now officially part of the Star Wars universe.
Brendan Wayne got his start in the family business in a 2001 episode of Angel, and since then he's appeared in a… [Read More]
