John Wayne Trivia
|
- Children with Pilar: Aissa Wayne, John Ethan Wayne and Marisa Wayne.
- Inducted into the Hall of Great Western Performers of the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in 1974.
- 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).
- In 1973 he was awarded the Gold Medal from the National Football Foundation for his days playing football for Glendale High School and USC.
