Lung Health Biography

John
Wayne (born Marion Morrison) was the son of pharmacist Clyde Morrison
and his wife Mary. Clyde developed a lung condition that required him to
move his family from Iowa to the warmer climate of southern California,
where they tried ranching in the Mojave Desert. Until the ranch failed,
Marion and his younger brother Robert E. Morrison swam in an irrigation
ditch and rode a horse to school. When the ranch failed, the family
moved to Glendale, California, where Marion delivered medicines for his
father, sold newspapers and had an Airedale dog named "Duke" (the source
of his own nickname). He did well at school both academically and in
football. When he narrowly failed admission to Annapolis he went to USC
on a football scholarship 1925-7. Tom Mix got him a summer job as a prop
man in exchange for football tickets. On the set he became close
friends with director John Ford for whom, among others, he began doing
bit parts, some billed as John Wayne. His first featured film was Men
Without Women (1930). After more than 70 low-budget westerns and
adventures, mostly routine, Wayne's career was stuck in a rut until Ford
cast him in Stagecoach (1939), the movie that made him a star. He
appeared in nearly 250 movies, many of epic proportions. From 1942-43 he
was in a radio series, "The Three Sheets to the Wind", and in 1944 he
helped found the Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of
American Ideals, a Conservative political organization, later becoming
its President. His conservative political stance was also reflected in
The Alamo (1960), which he produced, directed and starred in. His
patriotic stand was enshrined in The Green Berets (1968) which he
co-directed and starred in. Over the years Wayne was beset with health
problems. In September 1964 he had a cancerous left lung removed; in
March 1978 there was heart valve replacement surgery; and in January
1979 his stomach was removed. He received the Best Actor nomination for
Sands of Iwo Jima (1949) and finally got the Oscar for his role as
one-eyed Rooster Cogburn in True Grit (1969). A Congressional Gold Medal
was struck in his honor in 1979. He is perhaps best remembered for his
parts in Ford's cavalry trilogy - Fort Apache (1948), She Wore a Yellow
Ribbon (1949) and Rio Grande (1950).
Most published sources refer to Wayne's birth name as Marion Michael Morrison. His birth certificate, however, gives his original name as Marion Robert Morrison. According to Wayne's own statements, after the birth of his younger brother in 1911, his parents named the newborn Robert Emmett and changed Wayne's name from Marion Robert to Marion Michael. It has also been suggested by several of his biographers that Wayne's parents actually changed his birth name from Marion Robert to Marion Mitchell. In "Duke: The Life and Times of John Wayne" (1985), Donald Shepherd and Robert F. Slatzer state that when Wayne's younger brother was born, "the Duke's middle name was changed from Robert to Mitchell. . . . After he gained celebrity, Duke deliberately confused biographers and others by claiming Michael as his middle name, a claim that had no basis in fact.His production company, Batjac, was originally to be called Batjak, after the shipping company owned by Luther Adler's character in the film Wake of the Red Witch (1948). A secretary's typo while she was drawing up the papers resulted in it being called Batjac, and Wayne, not wanting to hurt her feelings, kept her spelling of it. In the comic "Preacher", his ghost appears in several issues, clothed in his traditional gunfighter outfit, as a mentor to the hero of the series, Jesse Custer. Great-uncle of boxer/actor Tommy Morrison, aka "The Duke". An entry in the logbook of director John Ford's yacht "Araner", during a voyage along the Baja peninsula, made a reference to one of Wayne's pranks on Ward Bond: "Caught the first mate [Wayne] pissing in [Ward] Bond's flask this morning - must remember to give him a raise." He and his drinking buddy, actor Ward Bond, frequently played practical jokes on each other. In one incident, Bond bet Wayne that they could stand on opposite sides of a newspaper and Wayne wouldn't be able to hit him. Bond set a sheet of newspaper down in a doorway, Wayne stood on one end, and Bond slammed the door in his face, shouting "Try and hit me now!" Wayne responded by sending his fist through the door, flooring Bond (and winning the bet). His favorite drink was Sauza Commemorativo Tequila, and he often served it with ice that he had chipped from an iceberg during one of his voyages on his yacht, "The Wild Goose". He was offered the lead in The Dirty Dozen (1967), but went to star in and direct The Green Berets (1968) instead. The part was eventually given to Lee Marvin. The evening before a shoot he was trying to get some sleep in a Las Vegas hotel. The suite directly below his was that of Frank Sinatra (never a good friend of Wayne), who was having a party. The noise kept Wayne awake, and each time he made a complaining phone call it quieted temporarily but each time eventually grew louder. Wayne at last appeared at Sinatra's door and told Frank to stop the noise. A Sinatra bodyguard of Wayne's size approached saying, "Nobody talks to Mr. Sinatra that way." Wayne looked at the man, turned as though to leave, then backhanded the bodyguard, who fell to the floor, where Wayne knocked him out by crashing a chair on top of him. The party noise stopped. His spoken album "America: Why I Love Her" became a surprise best-seller and Grammy nominee when it was released in 1973. Reissued on CD in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, it became a best-seller all over again.

The other films honored were Beau Geste (1939), The Wizard of Oz (1939), and Gone with the Wind (1939). Upon being cast by Raoul Walsh in Fox's The Big Trail (1930) the studio decided his name had to be changed. Walsh said he was reading a biography on General "Mad" Anthony Wayne and suggested that name. The studio liked the last name but not the first and decided on "John Wayne" as the final rendition. He once made a cameo appearance on The Beverly Hillbillies (1962). In episode, The Beverly Hillbillies: The Indians Are Coming (1967). And when asked how he wanted to be paid, his answer, in return, was "Give me a fifth of bourbon - that'll square it.".
