JOHN WAYNE THE ACTOR

John Wayne: The Legend and the Man celebrates Duke's life and legacy through film stills and backstage photos and snapshots ranging from his cinematic masterpieces—True Grit, Rio Grande, Sands of Iwo Jima, The Quiet Man, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Fort Apache, and The Alamo—to a surprising variety of early-career, leading-man films: The Big Trail, Stagecoach, Flying Tigers, They Were Expendable. Also included are a wide selection of fan mail art; family albums, photos from friends and loved ones, and the many treasures gathered over the years in his immense archive (famed film costumes, publicity photos exchanged with costars, telegrams and medals), many of the photos and these personal effects being published for the first time, and all from Duke's personal archive.

Review
"This is THE best John Wayne photo book ever!"
-True West

"As with many screen legends from that era, there was an aura about John Wayne that both enhanced and transcended the roles he played…That indefinable quality radiates throughout this remarkable collection of photographs."
-Cowboys & Indians
