Marion Mitchell Morrison, May 26, 1907 – June 11, 1979, better known by his stage name John Wayne, was an American film actor, director and producer. John Wayne was born in Winterset, Iowa. He received his first leading film role in The Big Trail (1930). Settling in Glendale, California, Wayne received
his distinctive nickname "Duke" while living there. John Wayne had a dog by that
name of "Duke", and he spent so much time with his pet that the pair became known
as "Little Duke" and "Big Duke," according to the official John Wayne
website. |
