2 American Icons

When I was 15 I watched "The Shootist" and I wondered how 6'4" John Wayne could have died of cancer when he seemed so indestructible. The problem was I had only seen movies he made after 1964 at that time, or earlier ones like "The Comancheros" where he only smoked cigars.

Thanks Mike, great clip

With respect to the cigarette ad, it just makes me want to . Yuck! Cigarettes! And if I remember correctly, Camels were the ones without filters - one of the worst. And there's our man, bragging about smoking them for "the past twenty years." Unfortunately, he would rue the day . . . .

Wow! Patty Reagan! I haven't thought about her in 20 years. Coincidentally, while up in Oregon recently, I bought a container of Boraxo soap, for the heavier jobs. The Mrs. says she remembers using Boraxo soap when she was little.

And Jimmy Durante! I would have liked to see the end of that! :teeth_smile:

Did Patti ever reconcile with her father?
