He was a good Father. That is a legacy worth celebrating.
His children has done him proud. All winners and not a bad apple in the bunch.
Yep

Interesting since he was a racist. Hopefully he didn't teach them to be
Patrick runs the Cancer society part . Ethan was born in 61.
There will never be another giant like the Duke
Narrator with a little effort could put us all to sleep
I agree he can read the telephone directory and we will be sleeping. Wonderful voice.
I'll take your comment as a compliment.
I put this on instead of taking melatonin. 😅
Fantastic narrator 😊
Yep, he could talk a glass eye to sleep
Glad to know all his children had good lives, and done well

AMERICA NEEDED & LOVED, JOHN WAYNE!
*His children has done him proud. All winners and not a bad apple in the bunch*
For someone who was rumored to be racist, he seemed to have loved Latino women.
They were just Hispanic then white
Latina not latino
Glad all his children were Good people, can't say the same about some of his contemporaries. RIP Legend/Hero. 🇺🇲
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
John wayne was a nazi
John Wayne was someone worth looking up to, by his kids, and by everyone else! And did you notice? None of his kids turned out bad!😊🤠
😂
You wouldn’t want to turn out bad if The Duke was your Dad.
Mop
but none of them turned out to be half as interesting or accomplished as him. it's interesting how genes set the foundation, but environment determines the rest
John Wayne was a scumbag. May he now rest in Hell. Russian bot!
I will stop every thing to watch The quiet man and McClintock. He and Maureen O’Hara are magic
John Wayne lives on in his grandchildren.
Was my dad's favourite actor. Loved watching True Grit with him.
Thank you this facinated me. I knew little about John Wayne's life outside his movies, his children didn't grow up to write the nasty tell all books that destroyed the reputation of many Hollywood greats, he taught his children respect a great gift many neglected.
loved his movies but by far my personal favourite has to be,The Quite Man,Mr Wayne and the gorgeous Maureen O'Hara plus the beautiful Irish scenery.perfect!!
Greetings from Ireland, do visit someday.
That was me and my dear mother's film. Lost count of the number of times we watched it together.
@@johnlavery6116 Had the pleasure of visiting Ireland in 2017 with my daughter ,unfortunately only had a short time, went to Co Clare, and Co Roscommon ,as this was where my ancestors came from ,also would have liked to have had
time in Co Donegal but this didn't happen. Such a stunningly beautiful country and wonderful people
@@katewalker6625 Glad you enjoyed the holiday!
Rumor has it that he always loved her and they had an ongoing affair to some extent
Love the Duke.
When John Wayne passed away, my sister called our mom to tell her. Her comment was "Dukes Dead?' She was a big fan of his. John Wayne children admired him and did the same thing he did, that shows a lot of respect for their dad.
He will never forget by many Fans.
My dad was John Wayne personified! That was how my dad was with us kids! He was a hard, firm, but loving. He loved the song by Aaron Tippin You’ve got to stand for something or you’ll fall for anything. That’s how my dad was.
CHICKENSGYT HID OUT IN MEXICO FOR WW II WHILE TALKING KIDS TO GO TO vIETNM TO DIE ...
THAT'S YOUR HERO ?????????????????????
Decades ago, when one of Wayne's daughters was going through a divorce in Orange county, California, I rode down the elevator with the daughter and Pilar. Both smiled, I returned the same and respected their privacy. I remember thinking how beautiful Pilar was even in her years. That's my John Wayne story. Everyone is just people, living life.
I thought it was Marion Michael Morrison?
The house i grew up in , located in Thornton, Colorado area was
One of seven show homes. John
Wayne's manager was contacted by the developer of this housing project and asked to make an appearance for the Grand opening. He agreed and spent
Several hours there walking through the houses and signing
Autographs. We didn't get a picture of this event but , it happened in 1955. So not only did Wayne walk through my home but the man passed away on my 20th birthday too! That
Was a bummer and a little weird!
He has a Catholic priest grandson, Fr. Matt Muñoz.
it's strange
I've loved John Wayne's movies as far back that can remember! If I see one listed I will watch it!
John Wayne's personal character could be seen in every role he played... I believe he was an honorable man.
JOHN WAYNE IS MY HERO HE IS SO MISSED THEY DO NOT MAKE THEM LIKE HIM ANYMORE SADLY 🥰
Yes they do they call them Trumptards.
Patrick is do good looking and a good actor.
I met Patrick years ago. He was at the U.S. Capitol receiving an award for his father
Met and worked with Michael on several occasions really a class act, nice man
WHAT A GREAT actor and man. I have seen ALL of his movies!
Loved John Wayne! McClintock and the Cowboys were a few of my favorites!♥️♥️
Rio Lobo,The Longest Day and The Hell Fighters too.
@@strfltcmnd.9925 All John Wayne films are my favourites. (But theres always a but) if I had to pick one. The shootist would be the one. Even though he had cancer he still gave a mighty performance in that flim.
John Wayne. What an ICON.
My dad had met John Wayne in South Africa when John Wayne gave him his card he signed it and I remember the card was gold embossed. Sadly, I lost the card after my dad passed away, but John Wayne had signed John Wayne very legible
I didn't have a dad growing up and I remember watching John Wayne movies like 'True Grit'. I was always a huge fan and kind of thought of him as to what my dad might have been like. Over the years throughout my childhood, I guess, my heart sort of 'borrowed' him as a 'dad figure'. I hope his children will forgive me for borrowing their dad! I loved him too! What can I say!
❤
I thought I was the only one who thought like that. To me was exactly the same. I still drop tears when he says "goodbye mrs Rogers" in The Shootist. I knew I was going to lost my father again... God bless him.
@monav...
I honestly believe that John Wayne's kids would be honored that you thought of their dad as you did. I think they're just as kind, friendly & down to earth as John Wayne was. I was fortunate enough to have met him twice & he was every bit the perfect gentleman his fans would hope he'd be. In the 70's I worked at LAX 5:00am to 1:00pm. One day I was asked to work a half hour over which was no problem, but that half hour led into 4 hours over. It was 5:00pm & I had to be back at 5:00 in the morning so I told my supervisor I don't care if you have to run the register but I'm leaving, which was perfect timing. When walking through the tunnel to the street I saw a bigger than life figure walking towards me & I thought no way. I thought the Duke probably had a private plane but as he got closer I couldn't believe it was him. Too embarrassed to say anything cause an airline guy I knew was near so I kept walking. I realized this was a once in a lifetime experience so I turned around, caught up to him & his entourage & said "excuse me Mr. Wayne", everyone stopped & John Wayne said "yes little lady may I help you?" I told him I have pictures of him & would like to know if I could send them to him to be autographed. He handed me an autograph card & his business card where I could mail them to him which I did. You may have already heard or read some or all of these stories, but in case you haven't, Google childhood memories of John Wayne's adult children. They tell of things they did as children & they're cute . I love the one about taking his daughter golfing. I don't rember if it was Michael or Patrick but one of them said to the sister who went golfing with Duke. He said " thanks we've been wanting to belt him one for a long time." The Ireland story is cute also.
@@wandawelsh8382 Thank you for your kind reply and for the info on where to see and read more about him and his children. I would have loved to have seen him in real life! And here, you not only got to see him but also spoke to him as well! Amazing!
Your comment warmed up my heart. God bless you. 🙏🏼💖
@@alvaropelayo8084
🙏🏼💖
We( my family)watched one of his movies tonight while we ate dinner at Applebees. Just pulled it up on the phone propped it up against the wall. It was El Dorado !❤
Hello Glenna,how are you doing?
John Wayne was a true American icon
I used to deliver Michael's mail & would often see Patrick at the house. 1 day while Patrick & Michael were outside i came by & was talking to them, i mentioned how my was a hugh fan of there father. The next weekend they gave a picture for my mom of all three of them with both of them singing it to mom. Great guys.
Good to see😊
John Wayne was my hero,my idol, my everything. God blessed us all with his presence.
John Wayne's the man ! The most famous, successful actor ever to live. He must of been a good father because none of his kids turned out bad.
All beautiful children.
The last one to be born among the children, she really resembles her dad.
RIP John Wayne.
My great grandpa was a brother to John Wayne.I will never forget my grandmother telling me.
Sounds like John had the love and respect of all his children.
John Wayne's oldest son, Michael, was the brother-in-law of Frankie Avalon. Michael's wife, Gretchen and Frankie's wife, Kathryn, are sisters.
Such a soothing voice telling the family history of a beloved movie actor!!
Hello Linda, how are you doing?
Would love to sit down and watch a John Wayne movie with my Dad he was Dad's favorite.
Me too.
@@chocoholic832 Me as well. Now that Dad is gone,,,,sure miss em - Both!
@stevepotts4228 24 years since I lost my dad & really miss him. He was an avid John Wayne fan & watched all of his films together when I was a child.
In Harm's way. What a movie!
And it's free on YT for those who haven't seen it
a guy i worked for in the early 70ties opened a ski shop in socal with John Waynes oldest son as a partner --calif was in deep drought,no snow--the ski shop closed..went to a couple parties where Mr Wayne was there--nice guy,not uppity at all,normal dude--damn shame Mr Wayne smoked very heavily even after getting one lung remove,it killed him...
Most of the actors from that era died of lung cancer, emphysema, stroke, heart attacks or other smoking related complications…I’m really not that surprised because I’ve been listening to radio shows from the 1950’s on RUclips and the emphasis on prolific smoking on the adverts was so invasive. I think practically every single actor or actress from that era were brainwashed that smoking was the in thing to do!
John Wayne - not just western films.
John wayne was good Actor love all he cowboy 🤠 R.I.P john wayne
I remember an Interview he had years ago when someone asked him why his wives had Hispanic heritage? His reply: you die your way, I die my way.
Loved it. My mom was half Hispanic half italian. Dad always smiled. Hmm..
His last Mistress was a YT lady. She and he lived on his yacht...in his final years. He was legally separated from his last wife. It was an open secret back in the 1970's. His second wife ..was a bit of work. Besides..his choice of spouses..was his own decisions.
His children did him proud and that says alot about his influence as their father.
I was disappointed that he was a race mixer.
I have always loved John Wayne and his movies especially his westerns he was a true legend in his time which he later became a goat the talent he had was rare and one of a kind it’s sad he passed away so young he truly left his mark on the silver screen and the world he was one of a kind he’s was great at what he did and that type of charisma,talent,and charm is very rare in someone
My dad’s favourite actor , he had every single video of hes films , we bought him them , but he’s all time favourite was The Quiet Man , he loved John Wayne acting with victor maclagen
My favourite as well
Love that part in Forth" Apache". When Victor Mcloughlin said. Is there any one here for Cork. Is there any one here from County Tipperary. Or is there any here from Sligo. All IRISH places.
Legend has it that Wyatt Earp knew & even tutored a young John Wayne in the ways of a western lawman
Wayne said he copied the way Earp walked and talked. John Ford also knew Earp.
I know Wyatt Earp’s granddaughter who lives in San Diego. Where Wyatt Earp lived until he passed.
The Duke was a legend.
HORSEMANURE ~ he spent the whole WW II hiding out in Mexico like the chickensgyt war monger he was .
To clarify: Ethan Wayne was in a slasher film "Scream" (1981) but not THE slasher film "Scream" (1996).
I always felt that it wasn’t that he was such a good actor but that the roles that he played was just him. In other words he just played himself in whatever situation he was in! He was a good role motto on screen and evidently off screen too. He raised good upright citizens! It is sad that we can’t say that regarding those in that business and in many other people that we have left to pattern our futures after, past leaders of our nation etc. This is just observations of an old 84 yr. Old woman who has lived and seen a lot in my time!
Watch him in The Searchers and Red River. He was a GREAT actor.
@@teastrainer3604 i’m sure she has.
Role motto? Role model..English 101
In 1979 Ethan Wayne found his dad's prized liquor lists and secret concoctions and runs a successful winery.
Patrick Wayne is one of the nicest guys you'll meet - I was set up next to him many times at western and collector's shows - and he's a doll. Very funny, not one of the Hollywood sad-stories about the kids of famous celebs, he had a great relationship with his father and loves talking about him. I watched him many times with fans and he was/is a great ambassador for his dad, very appreciative and understanding of people's desire to know John Wayne though him.
If Good old John took better care for his children they wouldn't need to 'set up ' at a 'show!
And in Big Jake when Patrick didn't respect him
He threw him of the horse. Then in another seen he told Patrick to put a blanket on horses back. Patrick said I be alright with out a blanket. John Wayne said. I'm not worried about your butt it's the horse back I'm worried about. Best every actor. Never get tried of his films. Watched the Quiet Man for the thousand time again the other day (19th of October 2023) great flim.
@@MAC-ws8fz what do you mean by my that remark.
Did a great job on the video. Thank you so much for sharing.
We need more men and people like John Wayne in this world.
🤮
@@jerrysweet9072Let me guess , you like pedophiles like Biden
I worked for the moving company that was hired to bring the household goods from John Wayne's Lido Island Estate into storage. It was an ongoing effort and I was familiar with three of his sons, who oversaw the project. They didn't come off like their dad. Thankfully.
Sadly so many younger people don't even know of John Wayne. Such is life.
They all seem fine, John Wayne did something right.
Jealousy eats up the mind.
A man of morals and he love america
He bailed on America by NOT serving in WW2 with real life heros
Morals ?, eh ? Philandering would not meet that definition me thinks. Big fan though.
He was denied entry into service for health reasons and being a family man. Your a liar.
Ku Klux klan said they loved America too.
@@doreekaplan2589 let me think this over! become a world wide movie star and make millions of dollars or join the military and (become a hero to all the blood sucking politicians and strangers) perhaps get killed...tough choice. The Duke was obviously smarter than you.
Great narration, no hype or BS..!
New subscriber here.
I grew up a John Wayne person. Hv all his early movies and plus the rest he made. Every time I c his movie I watch over and over he was a icon for me surely miss him still today
*I have always loved John Wayne and his movies especially his westerns he was a true legend in his time which he later became a goat the talent he had was rare and one of a kind it’s sad he passed away so young he truly left his mark on the silver screen and the world he was one of a kind he’s was great at what he did and that type of charisma,talent,and charm is very rare in someone*
👍
He wasn't young when he died. He had money. In the USA with money you do very well.
@@aimeekubik8803- John Wayne was in his late 60’s when he passed away.
I remember reading about it .
But he was a great man on camera and he was a good man.
John Wayne would be very proud.
Duke sure had allot of grand children.
I met more than 1 of his children they were kind generous people
Always loved the big guy his westerns and true grit
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
My mom's daddy could pass as John Wayne, he died of a massive heart attack years ago. R.I.P to two legends ❤
Like hell he could.
Pass as John Wayne. 🤭
Had a great, successful family.
hes my dad favorite actor
Thanks for the nickname. I loved the Duke growing up. So my family called me Duke.
My father was everything to me. Smartest man I ever knew. Had the greatest wit. Had so many talents( actor, town officer, artistic painter using anything from pencil to oil based ). With my equally intellectual mother I was instilled with their interests in science, art and history to where I was asked to teach my high school class in science for two days, history for a day and drama class for a day. So where am I going with this? Parents make us . Some make us who we become. And a few make us to become who we become later on. Regardless mothers and fathers are the back bone of society. Be we good or not it is how you raise your kids. If parents put love,knowledge, respect for others into the children they produce. The world would be a better place
and UNFORTUNATELY, the lack of parents positive influence is deteriorating society
History , very informative. I like it
Film sometime can tell you how a person was in real life as a parent. So as you can see John Wayne was not only a good actor but a good dad.
Bad dad. Very bad dad
I agree he must have been a good Dad. No stories of his kids on drugs and none of them appeared to be estranged from him.
❤❤😅
The Wayne family can populate a village all by themselves.
John Wayne did so much for the war effort to keep us free! He served this country in so many ways. He was a friend to all that new him or needed help. He covered hospital bills for people that couldn’t afford surgeries or illness’s oh loyal to the end to anyone he knew! Yep my grand dad worked with him and said he was true to his country and god!
He never served and none of his children ever served. As a matter of fact, his celebrity kept his sons out of the military. He had no problem however sending other people’s sons into war. Not my kind of hero.
Only he never served. Justified Native American genocide. Only a famous actor.
@sandrakostic5998 oh what a Sourpuss, maybe tomorrow might be a better day for you.
%::😅Aaa!!!!!!qqa qa a Qq qq😅😅
He did anything BUT serve his country like other American men during WW2, making him an actual coward like Reagan who also failed the country by claiming poor eyesight while.NOT ever wearing glasses. Neither was a hero except as fakes in films
One of John children was on You Bet Your Life. R.I.P John.😊❤
John Wayne every movie he was in I loved great actor
John Wayne wasn’t an actor… he was John Wayne…hero to those growing up watching him….we need more John Wayne’s!
Yes. He wasent a good actor st all. A wonderful role model
Draft dodgers aren't heroes! The true heroes are the ones who had the balls to fight for our freedoms ( that we don't really have)
His grandson, Brenden Wayne is one of the ones who play Mando in The Mandalorian.. 😊
That's why The Duke is still #1.
SAMMY DAVIS JR. was very
Fast draw , so fast you almost couldn't see it !😮😮
He had a pair of Colt 45 s
Peace makers , chromed ,
Balanced custom 1886 ? beauties.
Only the very handsome Patrick was capable of finding acting work beyond his father's films.
Two of his daughters..were .. beautiful.
Ethan found quite a bit of wok infront of the camera also.
Love boat
John had a home built in El Encinar de los Reyes outside of Madrid. The front facade was in the shape of a stagecoach, for obvious reasons. We lived in the off-base housing for Torrejon AB in the same general neighborhood, separate from the more expensive homes but there nonetheless. Pretty expensive neighborhood for AF base housing but distance to the base was close and to Madrid even closer, but without the Metro system. Saw the home once or twice from the outside...impressive. Been to the home in western Iowa also. And have seen the pretty much hidden statue at John Wayne Airport in Anaheim. The man was seriously influential in Hollywood and politics and he had his opinions and detractors but he pretty much built Anaheim. Big fan no matter the faults.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
John Wayne, a man's man
If a movie had John Wayne in it, you knew who the winners were from the start.
Best John Wayne film (for me) was, "Island in the Sky". Then "The High and the Mighty". Both films had an aviation theme, pre commercial jets.
John Wayne was in the "Shootist", but cancer won that round.
Comancheros, Apache, Rio Bravo are the best 3 I can remember now.I was very young then.
Thank you for sharing Mr. John Wayne was an awesome actor A legend all his own
It wouldn't matter what John Wayne things about American today if he was still here. This is God's world God's county We. American's need to take better care of this world cause it matters to God.👃🙏🙌
Always had a crush on Patrick....
Just watched Mr. Roberts. BOY WAS HE EVER A KID IN THAT MOVIE!!!!!
John Wayne is an American icon. Emblematic and indicative that he now considered canceled
So true, but as evidenced by all the comments he isn't canceled and never will be. Only by the media.
While my dad was stationed at Long Beach during World War II, he lived in the garage apartment formerly reserved for servants of a judge who lived next door to John Wayne. Dad reported that he often heard Wayne arguing with his wife.
So what...
They were probably arguing about Duke’s boyfriends. There was a movie in recent years about the blacklist era in Hollywood. A remark was made intimating that Hedda Hopper knew Wayne was gay.
@nativevirginian8344
Your info about this list?
@@nativevirginian8344
Good God some people will believe anything. There's no way in hell that John Wayne was gay. Yeah right, and I'm Mother Theresa.
The black list era in Hollywood had to do with sympathizing with, and pushing communistic ideals.
John Wayne spoke out against communism at every turn, as was disliked by many for it.
It doesn't surprise me that someone like her might have said such a thing, but good try.
Come back when you can prove it!!
This was awesome didn't know all of this information.
I am big fans of him 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😢😮😮😮😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I was in love with Ethan. He did the remake of Adam 12
The greatest action hero (better than Errol flynn!) ALWAYS top billing !
I liked the narrator's voice. Calming.
John Wayne great actor and father. ❤❤
Nah, he was a nazi
Magnífico Wayne. Obrigada! Paz e luz.❤❤❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻
Awesome video, thank you.
Wow, great family
I love his SC cap in the last picture....
