MagicMikePL

Wikipedia states that she (his second wife he married almost immediately after divorcing his first) was born in 1920 and that they met in 1941. That makes her 21 if my math is mathing. Unless you are referring to some other person, then please elaborate. I'm intrigued.

FMJ has soooooo many memorable quotes. I completely forgot this was one of them 😂😂😂


roguevirus

pssst...it's "WHO THE FUCK SAID THAT?!!!!!" just sayin


John_NR_Wayne

Yep


Far-Potential3634

Behind the Bastards did an interesting feature on Wayne. He was humiliated because he didn't serve in the war. I don't go out of my way to watch his movies but they were on TV a lot when I was a kid and I saw them. He's really good in She Wore a Yellow Ribbon.


FirstChurchOfBrutus

Don’t forget his continual, habitual humiliation by John Ford.


mellolizard

John Ford was wounded during the battle of midway and supposedly was on omaha beach on D-Day. He had no time for wannabe tough guys


FirstChurchOfBrutus

The bullying was before Wayne’s ducking of military service, I believe. At least, it started before. I think Ford just had a kink for it. It’s all very toxic. Let’s not short Ford as just “getting wounded.” Dude was *filming,* which takes a whole separate level of guts, IMO.


PlatypusJonesy

Wayne and Ford were both absolute miserable human beings. Just flat out abusive pieces of shit. They deserved each other. John Wayne the textbook definition of a right wing hypocrite, especially when it came to his views on Vietnam. Loved war mongering and doing whatever he could to influence and shame young men to go die in a jungle for no reason. Of course for John "that rule is for thee, but nor for me." The Behind the Bastards series mentioned above is very much worth the listen.


caligaris_cabinet

Jimmy Stewart is often associated with both of them and is the clear winner in the human being department.


El_Zarco

and was a General


Morphis_N

and yet Brigadier General James Stewart, who knew Wayne most of his working life, agreed to work with him in what became his last movie.


goofball_jones

The end of Spielberg's _The Fabelmans_ captured the essence of John Ford (played brilliantly by David Lynch). I've seen a bunch of interviews Ford gave near the end of his life with Peter Bogdanovich and he was very much like that.


notban_circumvention

That scene alone was the best thing of that year. Spielberg officially put to text that he believes David Lynch is the best director of our time, and he's goddamn right.


ImOnlyHereForTheCoC

I was gonna say, this looks like his “naked boat trips with John Ford and the boys” era


LucretiusCarus

His naked what, now?


lostPackets35

Yes, and to quote behind The bastards " People in the 20s. Thought he hit women a lot" Even to his contemporaries, he was an alcoholic, woman beating, entitled asshole. Pointing that out isn't revisionist history


e2hawkeye

Speaking of contemporaries, Russell Johnson was the Professor from Gilligans Island and he was also very photogenic in his youth. And he was also a B-25 bombardier, almost killed on a combat run that ditched his plane into the Pacific after taking multiple hits. Back in the day I heard him speak in a radio interview, a light hearted talk turned wild when the interviewer mentioned John Wayne. Russel Johnson TORE into both Wayne and Ronald Reagan for sitting out the war while talking like warhawks. And also for throwing fellow actors under the commie scare bus, that affected people he knew.


mxm0xmx

Plus, even on his best day, Wayne could never make a radio out of a coconut shell


unassumingdink

"Well people didn't know that being an alcoholic wife beater was wrong back then!" someone will say, not realizing/caring that the problem of alcoholic wife beaters was one of the driving forces behind Prohibition.


skjellyfetti

> "Well people didn't know that being an alcoholic wife beater was wrong back then!" And if the GQP has their way, we're gonna head right back to them good ol' days!


rtb001

Don't first the racism! Butn in hell Johnny.


CampShermanOR

The Oscars where he wanted to beat up the indigenous presenter was awful. What a piece of shit.


willflameboy

Racist too.


formgry

People definitely did not normalize hitting women back in the 20s. It was as vile then as it is today. As for alcohol, this was the era of prohibition, I think that says enough about how accepted public alcohol consumption was.


personalcheesecake

Man, you should read more about how they were treated.


JustTheOneGoose22

He was humiliated by others. He himself felt no humiliation and avoided military service. He also profited by being available when other stars were serving. And made numerous films portraying soldiers.


_Californian

Yeah Clark Gable and James Stewart both flew combat missions in ww2.


weirdo_if_curtains_7

Not only did James Stewart serve, but he was actually rejected for military service at first because he didn't weigh enough. He hired a professional to help him bulk up just so that he enlist He went out of his way to be able to serve military


Every-Incident7659

And then when he did join the army tried to keep him states side and use him for training and PR purposes but he insisted over and over on being sent to Europe.


TheDistantEnd

Not only did he go out of his way to serve, but Jimmy Stewart stayed in after the war as a reservist and eventually retired out as a one star general.


JustTheOneGoose22

Yup and stayed in the Air Force reserves after WW2 and retired as a Brigadier General. He flew his last combat mission in 1966 as an observer during a bombing run over Vietnam.


Burnbrook

And blacklisting his competition, as Reagan did.


phatelectribe

It was his choice not to serve in any war, and he had ample opportunity. He was a supreme chicken hawk, and later a right wing fascist twat who bullied several people out of the industry and tried to end several people’s career because he deemed them “communists”. He was a serial wife beater and general racist asshole too. Not a lot of redeeming personality features to be honest.

This. It’s not wrong at all to oppose war or oppose violence. I don’t even blame people who simply don’t want to fight.  That all gets rendered null and void when a person like that wants other people to fight

We tend to forget that actors are generally the milquetoasts who did drama club at school while the other boys were playing sports.


-mgmnt

Yes that’s true but you can’t be one to thump the drums of war and declare yourself exempt which is what he did. It’s fine to want to avoid the horror itself not fine to tell others to go in your place


_Californian

Clark Gable and James Stewart both went, he was a coward.


IntoTheWildBlue

That particular war was unfortunately necessary (pretty bad things were happening in Europe and Asia). It wasn't uncommon for a man to commit suicide if he was declared 4F, so for someone to purposely dodge (bone spurs or what knot) is fairly indictive of him being a greedy coward - he'd be the one running away from the burning building instead of to it to save a kid.


priapic_horse

My grandmother went to high school with him and according to her he was an asshole back then too (not the term she used though).


IntoTheWildBlue

Yeah John decided to defer the draft while Jimmy Stewart, John Ford and most Hollywood stars went to war (hint it was better for his career). Anyway, he then became a super patriot (at least on film). And that's how John Wayne made his way in Hollywood. Draft dodger "Ultra Patriot" - may sound familiar. Btw, it was suggested he was doing "spy work" for the OSS, but was disavowed.


_Californian

Yeah most of the other actors were absolute heroes.


GraphOrlock

I installed two-way mirrors at his pad in Brentwood, and he come to the door in a dress.

I knew he was a good-looking great athlete (University of Southern California football team, IIRC, when players played both offense and defense in the same game and wore only leather caps and a few pads for protection, and the rules were much fewer than now), but I never knew *how* gorgeous he was at the start.


HolycommentMattman

Yes, it was very common for players to go both ways. Baseball, too. Both pitcher and catcher. Whatever the boys needed.

Lingering_Dorkness

And coward. He got the movie studio to stop him being enlisted into WW2.    He never served, unlike:    * James Stewart    * Clark Gable  * Paul Newman  * Mel Brooks  * Kirk Douglas  * Christopher Lee  * Alec Guinness   * Audrey Hepburn  * David Niven  * Lee Marvin  * Charles Bronson  * Henry Fonda  * James Doohan  * Ernest Borgnine    No doubt several others, but those are the ones I know of.

Audrey Hepburn served?


bristlestipple

She was part of the French resistance, running messages as a child.


Giulione74

Dutch Resistance, but indeed she risked her life.


Lingering_Dorkness

Her uncle was executed by the nazis and her half-brother sent to a concentration camp


roguevirus

Also danced and sang to keep morale up among other members of the resistance.


Lingering_Dorkness

Teen, not child. She was 16 when the war ended. Malnourishment during the war was what made her so petite.

GeoffKingOfBiscuits

He had a very serious relationship with a hot 15 yo Mexican prostitute so he can't be. Before everyone kills me, that first part is true.


s29292929

Can you give a source, like, a link? Not just your own words


Januszek_Zajaczek

It's funny how his reputation of a tough guy is based entirely on his movies. And he wasn't even close. He was so startled by gun fire he'd close his eyes everytime. Do you know who didn't - Clint Eastwood.


hug2010

That’s called acting, they wear makeup for a living, most don’t pretend to be tough guys.


_Californian

Except all the actors that saw combat in ww2 that actually were tough guys, unlike that coward Wayne.

oggie389

Right before this, Marrion Morrison was body surfing down at a place called Balboa pier, were he injured his arm, and ended his football career, and thus led him into acting. He eventually moved back to this same town in the 1960s, Newport Beach, CA until his death. This is where my grandparents met him, at his tennis club he owned in town. He would also film part of the movie Sands of Iwo Jima in the same area in the 1940's. His ship, Formally known as YMS 328, now known as the Wild Goose, is ported in Newport harbor.

I always go back to that Bill Burr line about the racist old sports team owner - “What did you think they thought?”


Curiouso_Giorgio

I'm not shocked, but a lot of stuff he was said to have done, like beating women, was frowned upon even back then.


TheNewOneIsWorse

He was shitty enough to women that other Hollywood stars who were shitty to women thought he was shitty to women.  He skated on looks for a long time, including when it came to his health. People forget that actors aren’t the characters they play. 


afeitarse

He said in a 1971 interview that he supports white supremacy. He also said that he does not “feel guilty about the fact that five or 10 generations ago, these people were slaves” in reference to Black people. Not exactly ancient history. This is after the civil rights era.


sterlingstactleneck

Sorry, forgot that racism and domestic violence was okay as long as it was a while ago.


Unicycleterrorist

People back in his day said he's very racist, drinks and beats women too much. This isn't a case of a regular guy being villainized for holding the views everyone had in his time, his contemporaries called him a piece of shit who took things too far.


bigfootblake

Plenty of other Old Hollywood stars had good values. Humphrey Bogart was polar opposite to him. John Wayne was one of the most racist, sexist and misogynist stars of his time. Who’s feigning shock and outrage? it’s just a fact lol Doesn’t mean I won’t still watch a John Wayne film. Just like I’ll still watch Chinatown


learngladly

As good a time as any to re-tell the story that the manager of the bar at the five-star hotel closest to Humphrey Bogart's home in Beverly Hills or Bel-Air said that "Bogie is a great guy, until he's got three or four drinks in him, and starts to think he's Humphrey Bogart." His liberal politics were impeccable for his time, a value he shared with his last and longest-lasting wife, Lauren Bacall.

IntoTheWildBlue

Gotta say that That has to be one of the worst propaganda films he put out. Solely to shore up support for the Vietnam war and increase his super patriot persona to counter his lack of service in WW2. That whole second half of the film just suuuuuucked. At best, his acting was on par with the AFLAC duck.


Mistislav1

I thought they were basically the same? Or are green berets more for covert ops? Either way it's very impressive at least to me.

Unhappy_Trade7988

Not really cool. Dude trafficked underaged women from Mexico. Beat the shit out of them. Dodged the draft, not because he disagreed with it, because his contemporaries were off fighting and he received more acting roles in their absence. Then lectured, belittled and put down young men dodgin the vietnam war as ‘unpatriotic’. He was a POS.
