Did you know that John Wayne and Frank Sinatra almost got into a fight over the latter figure hiring a blacklisted Communist director and that Clark Gable refused to star in John Wayne’s directorial debut because he didn’t think the Western legend was going to be a good filmmaker? John Wayne was a movie star whose conservative politics, as well as his penchant for speaking his mind, caught the ire of many of his peers. There were several stars that couldn’t stand John, and we’ll be taking a look at some of them in this video! While plenty of John’s peers couldn’t stand him, the ones who hated him the most weren’t afraid to talk about it.

Wayne was a devout Patriot, and a product of that era of Political Climate.. Sinatra was a die hard Liberal, and friend of Mob Bosses across the US. Wayne held to his principles, not out of malice, but simply he loved this Country, and didnt see himself as being anything but that.. Wayne supported our Armed Forces, and believed in what the US was doing.. was he RIGHT in all of this > ? no.. and Lennons criticism of Wayne was simply Lennon being Lennon. he isnt the best role model to be sure, great artist, absolutely, but, not exactly a pillar of society either. I love Waynes movies, and believe he simply did what he thought was best, to support the US, its Armed Forces, and its leaders.. Hollywood leaned hard left then, it leans much harder left now.. I still applaud Waynes life and films.. its easy to cast aspersions on people long gone, from a time when things had not yet changed perceptions of people as they have now, 50-60 yrs later.

That's true yes, but I'm not talking personal lives in my dislike of John Wayne he chose to make it public, esspecially when he had to be restrained by 4 plus security when he tried to physically abuse Sacheen Littlefeather at the 1973 academy awards,this was not a one of. My comments of him being a state made star where true he was asked probably even paid to spy on artists he worked with. He was just a turkey hateful man. Most artists not celebrities, big difference tend to have sensible politics weather they lean left or right and most high level artists would lean left that is just statistically correct. Then you get Muppets like Wayne and Hestern hateful people who let the side down. The one that supprised me recently was not for necessarily for there political lean(was still a surprise) but his active support of Trump means i cant watch Frasier any more with out feeling sick 🤢.......

So let me get this right - Katharine Hepburn and Frank Sinatra both had problems with Wayne over politics in the 1950s, but came to mutual respect and affection later. Spike Lee and John Lennon - who can barely have known the man - didn’t like what (little) they knew of him. And Clark Gable didn’t want to play Davy Crockett because it was Wayne’s directorial debut. Hardly “hated John Wayne” is it? And while Wayne might be controversial- surely no one disagrees he was a fine actor in his genre and willing to take on controversial roles - like Ethan Edwards in the Searchers.

I understand that Robert Ryan (a staunch Democrat) and Duke had more than a few dust-ups over politics on the sets of the movies in which they were co-stars. Kirk Douglas was another co-star that didn't see eye to eye with him on political matters. Doubtful their differences resulted in "hate" in either case.

@TWS-pd5dc 6 ай бұрын

They didn't. Ryan was a very private and quiet man. Ernest Borgnine made a few movies with him and admired him but said he was tough to get to know. He was a big liberal and Wayne a big conservative. They may or may not have had an issue or two but they co-starred in 2 movies. Kirk Douglas and Wayne enjoyed a very friendly relationship but were not close friends. That said, Kirk did send a nice telegram to Wayne when he went back in the hospital around 1978 or so. They respected each other and did have very good chemistry in their 3 films.

@@stevecampbell6294 It is speculated that John Wayne did not serve in World War II because he was classified as “3-A” when he did his part in registering with Selective Service. “3-A” is one of the classifications that allowed the registrant to defer service. Its official name is “Hardship Deferment.” It applies to registrants whose commitment to service can burden (cause hardship for) their families. John Wayne was considered one of these "3-A" registrants because he had a wife and 4 kids to provide for. "2-A” is another classification with grounds for deferment. Republic Pictures, when Wayne was eligible to enlist, filed a “2-A” deferment to keep him in their studio. After his “Stagecoach” role, Wayne was the only A-list actor at Republic Pictures. So, it was no surprise that they did not want to ‘“lose” him to the war. As an actor, Wayne qualified as a “2-A” registrant in a non-agricultural occupation. Displaced paperwork is another possible reason why John Wayne did not serve in World War II. It was believed that the required papers for his enlistment were processed but mistakenly sent to his ex-wife’s house and not his. Thus, he never knew about it. Some sources claimed that she neglected it, while some contended that she withheld it intentionally because she and the children were still relying on Wayne’s star power to live comfortably.

Duke was an overall good man with good intentions, who was raised in a wholesome conservative midwest home with conservative ideals. He was in his prime in the 1930s and followed suit with the interests of our country at a time when international tensions were tight and Nazi Germany was spreading propaganda like a wildfire. If John Wayne had been born in the 50s, his rhetoric would have been a lot different. His messages to America had good intentions and his movies tell fun stories. I'm a centrist Democrat who leans very slightly left of moderate. I believe in a socially organized system of taking care of those less fortunate with foundations that provide aid as nothing more than a starter kit toward self sustained living. If they fumble and fall off track they get one more chance, after that, figure it out yourself. When it comes to race, I'm color blind. When it comes to social injustice and racial persecution, I am appalled. Grow up and learn acceptance. You would be amazed at who could become your best friend.

The female role in the script her agent read was small, small enough that he didn't bother mentioning it to Hepburn. Ironically, the role was eventually expanded and offered to Geraldine Fitzgerald. She accepted the part. It established her reputation in the film industry. I'd like more, but we're burning daylight, pilgrim. 🤠

I addition, I have never seen or read anything about Katharine Hepburn disliking John Wayne's behavior on the set of the movie they made together. Both actors objected to the directing and voiced their opinions loud and clear. Although I like the movie, I have to agree that the directing left it a flawed film. Wayne and Hepburn with their combined, maybe 100 years in the movie business were right.

The public knows that Hollywood was filled with left of left leaning characters. Communism was big back then and is making a resurgence today. If you watch some old movies the themes are left leaning, preachy sort of genre’s. It is also obvious that many in Hollywood were not very educated. Furthermore, left of center ideas appeal to a vacuous mindset. Yes, Wayne was part of the group that outed these America Haters but I think they asked for what they got by making their opinions public. We all live with the consequences of our actions.

John Wayne was thrown from a horse when he was 17-18. This was during the Great Depression and his family could not afford to send him to a doctor.

Without proof, your assertion that Ford said that to him is meaningless.

I wanted to jump down a hole, and pull it in with me. That said, Admiral ret. John "Pappy" Ford did his best to get The Duke a special exception made to induct him into the military after Wayne had been refused induction more than once because of the same permanent shoulder injury that cost him his athletic scholarship to USC, besides the fact he was pushing 40 with 4 small children. Wayne and Ford were life long friends, as were Wayne and Ret.General James Stewart, and several other Veteran Officers who wouldn't give the time of day to a draft dodger.

Later i realized he was a bigoted, small minded, xenophobic, and stupidly worked to blacklist anyone who didn’t fit his view of patriotism. But perhaps he is best seen as a mirror of many of the people of his time. This video portrays the people who disliked JW in a superficial way. But I feel sorry he caught cancer and ironically got it from filming close to a nuclear test area from which half of the cast eventually got cancer. And he was perfect for the role in True Grit and deserved an Oscar for that.

Also Kirk Douglas, Alan Ladd, Glenn Ford, Rock Hudson, Randolph Scott and everything would have been fine if it wasn't because at that time an Italian guy started making movies where we saw Cowboys and bandits compared to which US made cowboys looked like wussies. Just see these two subplots taken, by me, from real movies. In some traditional Western the hero is shot and he survives but he is badly wounded. Then every woman in the cast comes to nurse him back to health, they rally around the bedridden hero and bring him comfort, hot soup, bathing him, and so on. In a Leone flick in the same situation the badly wounded guy manages to go hide in an abandoned mine and there he tough if up, cure and nurse himself, like Rambo used to do, and then comes back to get his revenge. How could you not love this guy compared to the other one...?

@Frederick Wells One that comes to mind is "Fort Apache" and there was more than one and what I actually said was that Native Americans were treated with dignity and respect in his movies and they were.

Disagreeing isn’t the same as hating. Frank Sinatra became more conservative in his later years. I certainly don’t agree with everything John Wayne ever said, but he could eat John Lennon and Spike Lee for breakfast.

That's NONSENSE both Spike Lee and John Lennon are GLOBAL ICONS ,John Wayne is mere 50s american grade B actor.

John Wayne ought to be good at acting; he played the same person throughout his film career. Spike Lee: "She's Gotta Have It ". People who live in glass houses....

John was a true patriot! We need him today. Sadly, the Commies have taken over just about all areas of our great country. Of course John Lennon hated Wayne- he was a threat to Lennon’s Commy beliefs. God bless John Wayne and all he stood for!👍🇺🇸❤️

I laugh about all these people who complain about actors making war movies during a time of war but will go see current actors who are for gun control and against violence but act in movies full of guns and violence. Two that come to mind are Matt Damon and Daniel Craig.

I agree - we have so much violence in the movies and in our society - we have normalized killing to the degree that i think of all western societies we have more homicides than other countries.

Glad to know that you learned something new about Spike and Clark. Which film of John is the most appealing to you?

Not one of these men could ever be a fraction of the man John Wayne was!! He's still on the Top Ten most popular male stars 44 years after his death! We the people love him!! I for one don't give a hoot about the haters!! John Lennon sound like a moron! I know he has a "feminine side". I love the Duke!!

@donnalindsey7044 - Well, donna, what you said about the haters of John Wayne is pathetic and even pretty low as well! Furthermore, John Wayne was a deeply flawed human being, too!

real men are not misogynists or people who claim special status to avoid going to WWII or have despicable views about other cultures - Native Americans are selfish cause they did not want to give up their land to the invaders, and portraying said cultures as savages, while the Native Americans were savagely slaughtered - don't call that a "real man".
