John Wayne
![Wayne {{circa|1965}}](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7b/John_Wayne_-_still_portrait.jpg)
Wayne was born in Winterset, Iowa, but grew up in Southern California. After losing his football scholarship to the University of Southern California due to a bodysurfing accident, he began working for the Fox Film Corporation. He appeared mostly in small parts, but his first leading role came in Raoul Walsh's Western ''The Big Trail'' (1930), an early widescreen film epic that was a box-office failure. He played leading roles in numerous during the 1930s, most of them also Westerns, without becoming a major name. John Ford's ''Stagecoach'' (1939) made Wayne a mainstream star, and he starred in 142 motion pictures altogether. According to biographer Ronald Davis, "John Wayne personified for millions the nation's frontier heritage."
Wayne's other roles in Westerns included a cattleman driving his herd on the Chisholm Trail in ''Red River'' (1948), a Civil War veteran whose niece is abducted by a tribe of Comanches in ''The Searchers'' (1956), a troubled rancher competing with a lawyer (James Stewart) for a woman's hand in ''The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance'' (1962), and a cantankerous one-eyed marshal in ''True Grit'' (1969), for which he received the Academy Award for Best Actor. Wayne is also remembered for his roles in ''The Quiet Man'' (1952) with Maureen O'Hara, ''Rio Bravo'' (1959) with Dean Martin, and ''The Longest Day'' (1962). In his final screen performance, he starred as an aging gunfighter battling cancer in ''The Shootist'' (1976). Wayne made his last public appearance at the Academy Awards ceremony on April 9, 1979, and died of stomach cancer two months later. In 1980, he was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor of the United States. Provided by Wikipedia
