Love his movies
KatWOhler
His cancer came from filming on site for The Conqueror. It was an old nuclear testing site. Every person on that set died of some form of cancer.
Damomma2004
One of his best was The Quiet Man

WaldoLydeker, He was denied entry to the military because of a bad shoulder. He always had mixed emotions about doing military films for that exact reason.

EV777, Right on! I love the Duke. I am part Apache and appreciate how much he was supportive of Indians. 😊

KatWOhler, Of about 250 cast and crew, 90 got cancer and at least 50 died. They were 100 miles downwind of the Nevada Test Site.

While touring Madison County coveted bridges, my cousin and I happened on Winterset, which is the birthplace of The Duke. There is a statue of him in front of the museum. You can tour his house too, but it was closed when we were there.

I saw him driving in CA on our way to see Hatari. I was 10. waved and got a big smile back. I was thrilled.

KatWOhler, Wow! I didn't know this. Thanks for sharing!
Tony
KatWOhler, Sad
Judy
KatWOhler, His smoking didn’t help.
Michelle
Deborah , so true
Lionessa
His final film, The Shootist, is a study of a gunfighter dying of cancer. It is a heartbreaking case of life imitating art, and a beautiful movie.
Connie
When JW learned that a hit was put out on him, he did not wuss or cry, nor did he tell his family, he handled it.
Renee
KatWOhler, that is horrible! I hope they chose that spot to film without knowing the dangers…
Patty
KatWOhler, I read this.

KatWOhler, John Wayne was a heavy smoker, as were most people of his era. His lung cancer was caused by smoking. Thank God that the Surgeon General came out in the early '60's and said that smoking causes cancer. Both of my parents were smokers (mom - 1 pack a day; dad - 2 packs a day). Mom immediately quit and dad quit a year later. At that time they were in their mid-late fifties. Dad lived to be 90 and mom lived to be 96. Others of that era that didn't quit died of cancer.
Heather
Now this is something. Absolute greatness. To persevere, pursue, and push through all of that, Wow. And the moment with his son…..goodness!
Top Cat

I, like many other young men, looked up to John Wayne as the man we wanted to be. He was
strong, tough, and fair minded.

DawnW73, I think he was talking about him being a real man. not his manhood ! some people dont know how to speak American English I guess.

KatWOhler, one more proof that humans are the most dangerous creature on the planet

Loved that movie saw with my grandmother at age 10 have it on DVD
Player Diver Dan
John Wayne was an abject, unapologetic racist (See his Playboy interview) who opted out of World War II because he was "too busy".
Leslie
I am a big fan of the Duke my mom loves him too
Player #29510507
I loved him as "Rooster Cogburn" in "True Grit"
