Who is John Wayne...?
To be honest, I don't really know much about John Wayne, but I do know that he was in The Big Trail, however it wasn't a huge success but it is where he got his name. John Wayne is actually his stage name created by I think the director. He obviously fit the part of a western cowboy. I expect him in his movies to be singing because he was the films first singing cowboy. He wasn't really a big star until the movie Stagecoach came along and gave him his ticket to stardom. His biggest movie that he has starred in is probably The Searchers. He is known for his stunts and his singing talents, which made him an American icon.

Interesting history on him...I didn't know John Wayne wasn't his real name or that he sang - not that I know much else about him anyway, other than he was a famous portrayer of the iconic western cowboy.
ReplyDeleteEmily, for to not know much about him you've done your research. I to know little about John Wayne otherthan, he's a cowboy playing western movies. I expect his movies to be about protecting property from bad guys, and protection the women.
