The Ugly Side of John Wayne

Marion Robert Morrison, also known as Duke or John Wayne, was a Hollywood icon from the late 1930s till he passed away in 1979. The actor and filmmaker graced the screen in a whopping 179 productions over three decades of hits. Interestingly, his first leading role in The Big Trail tanked at the box office, and the roles that followed in the coming years on the big and small screen, such as in The Deceiver, The Three Musketeers, and Riders of Destiney, among others, did little for his career.
