Nah, that was "The Searchers".

Totally, totally agree!! The Movie industry black balled him for his political views as was shown by BatJac producing The Alamo and The Green Berets cause Hollywood wouldn't produce them. He was a GREAT actor.

@@the1757 Maybe Hollywood didn't want to produce GB because it sucked.

Ah...no...it was because it showed a supportive side of being in Vietnam which the left in 1968 didn't want to portray.@@trickydick6152

He was a cultural icon for sure, but nonetheless a very one-note actor and a very racist man by all accounts. We don't need more men like him

@@Jarrod1212 thank you

He was a rancid racist fascist with xero acting ability.

I will always remember him as the man who was gonna assaults Sacheen Littlefeather/ racist piece of shit.

Remember as a scu m bag rest in Piss

He was nothing but a racist A-hole!

I still prefer his work to 99.9% of any movie made since he left us.

He deserved it.

Well my father and I both liked him very much. I wasn't commenting on his morals or character, just his acting ability and heavy work ethic. Drunk or not I felt his acting improved greatly over the decades. I've been addicted to things and cheated and been cheated on. I never said he was a Christ like figure, just that I felt he deserved the standing ovation for his exceptionally productive career. I am wondering what the hell he may have done to you to elicit such a pained response...I've never ever been a fan of war/killing/forcing our beliefs on others in the world either. If he had refused to go to war in the recent past he would likely be touted as a peace activist. Everything is relative.

Anyone who hasn't sinned...be the first to cast a stone

Honestly, I like this better when they didn't do Standing Os. It gives the whole proceedings more humility.

drlee2 I totally agree.

Wayne was a nazi. Also he is not a great actor as actor.

Examples being when he made up a story about getting arrested while trying to meet Nelson Mandela (an ambassador Biden named as a witness came forward and confirmed the story never happened), or when he falsely claimed to have been endorsed by the NAACP every time he had run for a political office (the NAACP themselves came forward just a day later and confirmed they had never once endorsed him for anything).

He was very racist.

Tye Bear He tried his best to enlist. He had a bad back & knees from playing college football, he was married w/several children, & he was in his mid thirties. Then all men from their mid thirties were released from being drafted by FDR. Republic Pictures did their best to keep him from being accepted into the service & threatened to sue JW had he enlisted.

@@phealy02 how many Oscar's have you won????.......... Dickhead

He actually was a great actor.

"The Long Voyage Home"

He wasn't a great actor, but had screen presence, big difference

Not so quiet in the 1971 Playboy interview was he?

@@fezzik7619 you’re trying to make him quiet because he represents everything what you fear

@@reececlarke7368 you’re trying to analyze me? Good luck with that stranger. Who am I trying to quiet? What do I fear? The article I’m referring to in my comment is of John Wayne confirming his white supremacy. He also says negative things about native Americans. He’s not a man to be admired.

@@fezzik7619 to be fair as a British 14yr old I believe he’s a great icon and someone to look up to and although he may of had some ideas which are quite extreme now the majority of white people did have these views and I’m not saying they were right to believe in this way he was a true man and he also didn’t believed in hyphenated American and that if you’re born in America you should just be called as an American and if you’re gonna dig up dead people from 40 yrs ago and find out about your grandparents and great grandparents and what they said and believed in and I bet it wasn’t anything nice and you can’t say anything to them because they’re dead and I bet you’ve said some stuff in your life which wasn’t to pleasing and what if your kids and grandkids found out what you said but then again no one else would care because you’re dead and in a century’s time no one will remember this apart from the legacy’s which are in hearts and minda.

@@reececlarke7368 First, if you’re going to write a response make sure it’s coherent, not just one disjointed run on sentence with no punctuation. Second, as a 14 year old Brit I suggest you study a little about the history of racism in America. As a 44 year old American I can assure you that the majority of people here in 1971 were most definitely NOT white supremacists. There was a huge civil rights movement in the US in the 1960’s that led to sweeping changes in antiquated anti-black laws especially in southern states where black people were segregated to the point they weren’t allowed to stay in the se hotels as whites, eat at the same restaurants, use the same bathrooms or even the same drinking fountains. So before you go spouting off about things you’re ignorant to like most teenagers maybe you should pick up a book or do some research first.

Me too .

he was a massive homophobe and racist, a true shining symbol of america

You're wise beyond your years! God bless you! X♡

Allyson Flamingo Thank You.

yes but can you say Richard Burton is? Because that guy is 1 of the greatest actors ever.

I'm genuinely curious here, but would you and people your age also know who Paul Newman, Anne Bancroft, Ingrid Bergman Charlton Heston, and Jack Lemmon are? They are also some of the greatest actors of all time.

John Wayne never saw active service in WW2 unlike James Stewart Clark Gable and many others..just want to clear that up.

google crazy days nights bogart boat wayne

+honeybeebadger No, he didn't. However, he did try to enlist, and there are letters to a few friends asking their advice about which branch he should join. Eventually, he made the decision to sign up to be a recruiter and press photographer on the front lines because people would follow him anywhere. An OSS commander even approved his application, but the response was sent to the home of his estranged wife who didn't tell him about it. If something had happened to him, she would have had to raise their four kids by herself. It's a matter of public record...private record too with his grandchildren having some of those letters.

John Wayne was a draft dodging coward.

@@Stopsign32v yeah, because that’s what I wrote. I’m talking about Wayne himself. Look up the 1971 Playboy article where he actually TELLS the magazine he’s a White supremacist. He also goes on to say that the native Americans got what they deserved. I’ll warn you it’s not written in crayon so you may have a hard time with it because of your 3rd grade reading comprehension

@@fezzik7619 The problem is people like you even today care what a celebrity does or believes in behind closed doors. These are actors, it's a job. Either enjoy them for their acting or don't. But why you would care what their favorite food is, what they believe in, what they say in interviews, or how many times they fart is beyond me. Do you also research what your clothes manufacturer believes in before buying a pair of socks? Better yet, do you research how your electronics provider treats their workers? See the problem is people like you want to turn a blind eye to everything EXCEPT white supremacy. Why? Because it's the cool thing right now. Stop being a sheep. Bottom line is John Wayne is a LEGEND. Not because of what he told someone in an interview, but because of...His acting! *gasp* Oh, and the democratic party was the racist ones from day one. Abraham Lincoln had to fight them as a Republican. There, chew on that.

@@Stopsign32v ok you’re right. By your logic it’s definitely ok that he saw black people as second class citizens. Categorizing people by race is ok because you think my objection to it is based on it being trendy to do so. Gotcha. I hate misogyny towards women too. That must make me an asshole as well

@@maxsands3861 but Hillary was right: Jan.6. Those self-called "Patriots" were nothing but vicious and violent insurrectionists and traitors, driven by White Supremacist fears of a changing National Demographic. Those White Supremacists we're Hillary's "Deplorables". John Wayne was an openly self admitted White Supremacist. A TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOT does not marginalize an entire segment of their own Citizenry as inferior and deserving of fewer rights than other Citizens. Wrapping yourself in a flag does not make you a patriot. Standing up and tirelessly fighting Injustice, Poverty and Hate, while fighting FOR World Peace and National Cooperation and Harmony is being a Patriot.

The 19th Amendment (the Voting Rights Act of 1965 secured voting rights for racial minorities). Yep 1965! Bigots are raised that way. Assholes have a choice...

Eastwood popularized the amiable, lawless cowboy hero character. Wayne always hated him for darkening the traditional cowboy hero persona. Never socialized, or wanted to work with him because of it. That's show biz.
