john Wayne was and still is one of America's. greatest heroes. he did nt take crap from anyone he was his own man. that's what made him great. he walked the walk. and meant what he said. he is the type guy that was proud to be an american. one of Hollywood's greatest. he will always be missed.
John Wayne was injured and suffered a broken leg while playing football in college. He was turned down for military service due to that so he and John ( Pappy ) Ford another great American produced patriotic movies and sold war Bonds. I wish people would research topics before they make stupid comments. This is my last comment. John Wayne is and always will be my hero !!!
To the Wayne Family; Your father was a great man and he stood for the straight of america. No matter where you go you'll always hear "Who do you think you are? JOHN WAYNE. I severed 20+ years in the Marine Corps and I served by his standards. Love for Life, Respect, Courage, and Take responsibility for your actions. I would of followed your father into any battlefield. Just want say Thank you for letting me share your father. Semper Fi.... From: John Wayne Boswell
A real American icon. Believed in the dreams and principles of our country. Today's actors and entertainers would learn so much by viewing these interviews of John Wayne and his family. They really don't understand what America is all about.
Never got the chance to say"Thank You, Mr. Wayne" you have inspired everyone with pride and respect, a very sound man. Bless you and your family for all time!
As a Vietnam vet I grew up watching the Duke my hero and still to this day watch his movies over and over. God bless his family and he will forever be in my heart.
I love this man. But my father was my greatest love and I admire him for his strength and courage. John reminds me of my father...a gentle giant. I hope me and dad can visit John together when I pass to be with dad. People don't realize what they truly leave as a legacy to others until we think of their memories. I love you dad and I love you John. Sam..
John Wayne movies are great! You can watch anyone of them over and over again without getting tired of them. John Wayne will always be number 1 with me!
John Wayne was a great actor. It's difficult to pick a favourite film but Rio Bravo, The Searchers and The Quiet Man immeadiately come to mind as films I never tire of watching. I think Marisa is 100% right; they are a fantatstic family doing a lot of good work, in a quiet but respectful way. I am sure he would be immensley proud of the work they are doing in his name.
I can easily see that John Wayne would be Proud of his Daughter. She did a Great Interview and seems very relaxed and Honest. She Represents the Cancer institute Well. Best Wishes! M.H.
Duke Morrison was and is one of the greatest Men (and actors) to grace this U.S. To be of his Family is to carry with pride a legacy that is equal to all those before, and, without question, after his passing.
FUCK OFF Walter. Plenty of great actors didn't serve. Tell that to the troops in Vietnam, Korea and elsewhere. THEY loved him. You are a sad sack of shit.....Piss off.
One of the finest actors in the business with the a HIGHEST morals. No perfect, none of us are. They don't make them like him anymore. Best of luck with the products.
SHE IS JW FAV CHILD, I AM YOUNGER THAN HER BUT I HAVE READ ALOT ABOUT THE DUKE AND THINK HE WAS THE GREATEST IN HOLLYWOOD, HE HAD ME CRYING EVERYTIME I WATCH THE SHOOTIST, IT SEEMS SO REAL LIKE HE WAS SAYING GOODBYE TO HIS FANS AND FAMILY THOUGH THAT MOVIE,,GOD BLESS ALL HIS FAMILY! LOVE TO ALL,
The Duke was larger than life. A true American and patriot. In my opinion he is the greatest American actor ever. I never get tired of watching his films. RIP my dear friend.
Your love for your father is evident and your voice and your words and your eyes. your father put out great movies I'm sharing them with my 9-year-old son today. Especially the older ones. We watch true grit the other night, the new true grit from a few years ago couldn't even compare, it couldn't hold a candle to what your father did.
I hope somehow this is passed on to the Wayne Family, I was a child prisoner of war in WW 2 in Shanghai China, Born a British Subject became an American because of your Father, he was America to me, am proud I will die an American. Thank You all for being the good this "good man." left behind. My Respects.
+Rory Gibbons I hope you see this. I applaud your historic life journey. I wish you a long and prosperous life. I'm sure that you've honored both the USA and the Duke with your life. I hope to see you in heaven.
The movie "The High and the Mighty" is a FABULOUS movie, even though it's not a "western movie" and I love it!!! "Island in the Sky" is a really good movie also. Both of these movies were written by Ernest Gann, and he and William Wellman were GREAT FRIENDS who shared a common history from WW I, and a love of aviation!!!!
It says a lot that all of John Wayne's children and grandchildren are so genuine, well mannered, down to earth people. They all stand out in front with such quiet respectful dignity in memory of their beloved father and grandfather.
Your Dad,was in my mind ,my dad too.He gave me what I needed to know what a man really is . I'm 61 now,I miss him so much.Saw you at The John Wayne Museum last year.Finally got to see that yellow handle 45 at the Cowboy Museum, in Oklahoma City. Bless you !
I have been binge watching John Wayne's movies, and though I have always regarded him as a Westerns Hero, what comes shining through is his fine sense of comic timing! I know there are plenty of actors doing westerns, but for me it will always be the Duke and James Stewart! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😊😊😊🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
My best to John Waynes family. I loved to watch John Wayne movies. He was an amazing actor. He loved our Country. I loved watching war movies as well as cowboy movies. The world lost a true Hero at soon a time. Miss John Wayne.
when I was I United States Marine Corps 75278 Camp Pendleton California I always felt that I always Mustang wing when I was in Sacramento California hello leave a message to John Wayne family he was a great man I always loved his movies he made a difference in his life and Americans life he will be missed forever God bless John Wayne
What a fantastic lady Marisa is in that interview. She is beautiful and intelligent and very proud of her Dad . I am a big Fan of the Duke and that is why I keep a collection of Memorabillia of him. It is great that her favourite movie is "The Quiet Man" and why not with a beautiful Co-Star in Maureen O'Hara.
John Wayne is a true legend and hero, i always remember when i was a kid, me and my grandad who was also a big fan of the duke, use to sit and watch his films and it would fill us with such joy,and still to this day no matter how busy i am, whenever i see a John Wayne film on tv i will watch it, my fav films have to be The Searchers,Chisum,sands of iwo jima,True Grit, The Quite Man. But lets face it all of his films where great, RIP John Wayne,,we love you and miss you xx.
For me, maybe The Searchers, maybe Liberty Valance, maybe Flying Tigers. True Grit, Shootist. The undefeated. The cowboys. She wore a yellow ribbon. Horse soldiers. Rio anything. I couldn't pick just one.
Why don't you SHUT up? Terrible actor? Really? Take your moron views and go watch something you might enjoy...LIke a Sean Penn or some other 'real' actor' you adore. Idiot.
I am glad to hear her favorite movie is The Quiet Man. That has always been my favorite too. I think that movie is the kind of ,man he really was. I would like to think so at least. Thanks Duke ever so much for an example of what a real man need be.
Thank you Marisa for doing the interview, I love what your dad stood for and how his name still carries on today. What I wouldn't give to spend one day with your family to talk about you father. Your a beautiful woman. I hope to see or hear of your children, especially Duke years down the road in a western.
I truly believe , that if more young men watched John Wayne movies , learn his values n use him as a ....template ,America would be much better off , thank you , Duke , for all that you've done , for all the "lessons " you've tried to teach everyone . God Bless ,
John Wynne supported white supremacist was anti Gay was glad Native Americans had their land taking. Is that an example for young people we see what America is like today over white supremacist🤷♂️🤔☘
I watch the same ones over and over and know most of the Duke's lines. We were on Balboa Island 4 years ago and heard some great stories about the Duke. He has always been my hero.
I cannot think of a greater influence in my life than Duke! Except my father. They were a lot alike in their values and persona. I regret never having the opportunity to meet the Duke and just thank him for his example as an "American". As Americans, we have a history like no others! A rich heritage and so mush to be thankful for. It is sad to see how our freedoms are eroding away under Obama. The Duke's America is dying and perhaps it was God's blessing that he did not live to see it. I hope he is resting comfortably in God's arms! Thanks, Duke for being an AMERICAN.....
I think he was such a great actor the all his movie's still watch all of them a amazing. I can sure pick out the Wayne kid's the eyes looks. I know you're dad proud of all of you kid's and grandkids he watching over you all.
As like Mr. Gibbons, I hope this gets to the Wayne family. I love all the Dukes movies and I am trying to collect all his movies. I will in time. But what I really wanted to say is that when me father passed away in 1997. His movies helped me to get through the grieving. It was his voice that some how would help. And now I still love watching his movies. I am glad that I can by them, thank you. Carol Severin
I know how you feel Carol, it's tough losing a loved one, to put it mildly. My own 'Pop', who passed away 3 years ago this month, was a huge western film fan and movie fan in general, who knew all the old timers, from Gene Audrey, to popular (at the time) sidekicks such as Andy Devine, Walter Brennan and George "Gabby" Hayes. He became a fan from his childhood days of making frequent visits to his Uncle who was projectionist at the local theater and collecting comic books, which at the time featured plenty of popular western film stars in their own sequential adventures.
Vanilla Bean is my favorite ice cream too! John Wayne ma favorite man. You can tell he raised his children well as they all appear to truly be humble gracious people all!
I have a picture of the Duke on my home office wall, I met him in Catalina island very briefly on his big boat when my friend and I came close to his boat in a dingy one evening just after dark. There was a party on board, we were invited on board, we were age 15 and we each eat a sandwich and had a root beer. He was very gracious and kind to us. We did not stay long and rowed away back to boat, good memory.
