John Wayne died on this day,
June 11, 1979 (b. 1907). A problematic son of a bitch, I find it hard to ignore the fact that he stars in about ten films that I love (a few of them problematic sons of bitches themselves): Rio Bravo, El Dorado, Red River, The Searchers, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Stagecoach, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon...
John Wayne (with Dean Martin) in Rio Bravo, one of my favourite films.
