I didn't know that little fact about Leif Garrett. That is a name I haven't heard in quite a long time.

He was probably the biggest teen idol in the world when John Wayne died.

I just watched this again tonight! I always thought that this is one of Duke's most underrated movies! I saw it for the first time on the big screen when I was a kid; at a drive in in Garland, Texas! At that young age, the story kept my interest! All these years later, I still get caught up in the story!
A modest budget with a good story is so much better than what we get today; extreme budget and no story!
By-the-way, the guy that played Duke's youngest son, Clay O'Brian [Cooper] is in the rodeo hall-of-fame, and as a team roper is still winning rodeos! He was also one of "The Cowboys".
Leif Garrett auditioned for his role in "The Cowboys".
Does anyone know how well John Wayne knew Jackie Coogan?
