Default The REAL John Wayne

Interesting read in that it really tells the story about how Hollywood
icons aren't really as they seem.

Meyer if you need help with the link, let me know, I'll show you how to
copy and paste.

Nope. I'm good.

His real life military adventures parallel our own Harry Krause.

Wayne played Wayne for a long long time. People liked him for who he
played on screen and for his persona off screen. He seemed larger than
life. Hell, I liked him; I thought he was a pretty good actor. I liked
Charlton Heston, too, until he lost his mind with the National Rifle
Association. Heston, in my opinion, was a better actor than Wayne.

I don't really give a **** whether Wayne was in the military. Being in
the military only means you were in the military. It doesn't mean that
you are a good person or a bad person.

Anyone who thinks John Wayne was anything but a movie actor probably
takes Alex Baldwin, Kevin Costner and Paris Hilton seriously



I take Baldwin and Costner seriously as movie stars.

Paris acts like she's been seeking interesting positions all over the
world. She'd also make darn good trawler crew.
