Originally named Marion Michael Morrison but known around the world as John Wayne, the American actor and filmmaker became a popular icon through his starring roles in films made during Hollywood’s Golden Age. In particular, when someone thinks of a Western or war movie, John Wayne will no doubt come to mind. His career spanned from the silent era of the 1920s through the American New Wave. Wayne appeared in an astonishing total of 179 film and television productions. He was even among the top box office draws for three decades, and appeared with many other important Hollywood stars of his era.
Wayne played leading roles in numerous B movies during the 1930s, most of them Westerns, but he hadn’t quite yet become a major name. That all changed with John Ford's 1939 movie, Stagecoach. The Western classic made Wayne a mainstream star. Wayne starred in fourteen of Ford’s productions. A celebrated collaboration unlike any other in Hollywood history. Wayne has played a wide range of roles in Westerns that include a cattleman in Red River, a Civil War veteran in The Searchers, a troubled rancher in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, and a cantankerous one-eyed marshal in True Grit. His performance in True Grit earned Wayne an Academy Award for Best Actor.
Owning a career filled with way over a hundred film and television productions, it’s hard to imagine an actor at the very peak of the industry, ever having to deal with money worries ever again. But, sadly and strangely, that’s exactly what John Wayne had to overcome. In Fact, Wayne almost wound up flat broke at one point in his career. This wasn’t early in his career either but after more than 25 years in the business. So how did Wayne lose vast quantities of his fortune? And what was the passion project that proved an absolute nightmare for the star?
Join us as we take a look at the side of John Wayne’s career that most people have never heard about before.

He never lost all his friends or money!!!!!!

And yes he had issues. I love John Wayne ,but he had problems even back then. But none of us. Are perfect not even the dude. But we still love the man. And he did lose his ass in the Alamo movie.
@@faithfultotheend5202
It sure seems like it doesn't it.
Thank you!
@@faithfultotheend5202 _Waaaaaaahh._
I and millions of other John Wayne fans are all his friends; and we'll never leave him. Anyone claiming to be his friend and has left him, was never his friend to begin with.
❤️❤️❤️
"Don't want to be an American idiot." Friend of someone you never knew. Or really knew the truth of. Moronic. That sort of idol worship facilitates all sorts of nastiness on the part of celebrities. There are still people who refuse to believe Michael Jackson was a paedophile. You're exhibiting the same mentality. Just idiotic.
What nonsense! Duke’s friends were lifelong and loyal! Money comes and goes in Hollywood but The Duke is a Legend! I will always love him and admire most of his films.
john wayne was to me one of the greatest actors that ever lived.
I haven't seen a John Wayne movie that I didn't like. Some of his earliest movies are my favorite.
I agree i met him once at Huntington beach once in 1974 nice man
Did you ever see The Conqueror?
@@hydrolito Or Big Jim McLain? Or Circus World?

Thanks for watching, Frank!
@@FactsVerse you did not tell the truth about John Wayne ... maybe you should change your name so that it doesn't say Facts Verse anymore .
Where are you getting your information from .
@@gardensofthegods John Wayne tried to assault a young Native American girl at the Oscars in '73
@@dosmundos3830 dos mundos .... no that is not the truth ... Sasheen Littlefeather CLAIMS that somewhere offstage John Wayne had to be restrained by security guards from coming up on the stage .
One must consider the source ... she was ALSO AN ACTRESS ... there's a clip of her on RUclips in a pretty cheesy part .
Who knows if she told the truth or if she exaggerated it ... I didn't hear of anybody corroborating that story .
John Wayne has been dead a long time and plenty of people who were there had the chance to mention it and never did .
Also there's a big difference between being restrained by security guards to stop you from going up on stage ... and what Will Smith did .
Think about the difference between the two .
People try to rewrite history nowadays .
I was 14 during those Awards and watching them live .
If John Wayne was restrained from going up on stage I don't know anybody that remembers seeing it .
And of course once a rumor it like that is out there you're going to have more and more people repeating it .
And you shame on you .... even if he had to be restrained it doesn't mean he tried to assault her .
In all likelihood give him a fifty-fifty chance that he was going to yell at her and tell her to get off stage which is not the same as assaulting someone .
@@gardensofthegods wtf are you talking about? She's not the source, the hundreds of audience members were the source. Just because you weren't there or even born doesn't mean it didn't happen. give your head a shake!
John Wayne's net worth on the day of his death was $7 million. Yes many of his friends were actors however I do not believe they were acting when they spoke about their loss of their friend. Next time make an Honest Headline over instead of a Bogus Headline like this one is.
I agree the title didn’t live up to what I hope to hear about. As you know this happens all to many times with facts first. Do you even read the comments your Views post?
They always seem to make a ridiculous headline. I guess they think nobody will be interested in the truth
Facts Verse...what is your goal with these supposedly factual videos about conservative actors? "I know, I know, I'm gonna use good judgement. I haven't lost my temper in 40 years. But, pilgrim, you caused a lot a trouble this morning (poking the other fellar in the ribs with the shotgun); might've gotten someone killed. And somebody ought to belt you in the mouth, but I won't.... I won't..... The HELL I won't!" so there is your comment.
After being a multimillionaire three times and loosing it three times, I have learned that the accomplishments are much more important and have more value than the money. The Alamo was one of Wayne’s best movies. Wayne was really a smart guy, but he made great movies, and will always be remembered.
I read a biography about him that said he had lost his money 2-3 times because of his money managers were taking advantage of him financially but he never blamed anyone but himself saying that he was too involved in making movies and should have been more hands on with his investments and making them more accountable with where his money was going
John Wayne played John Wayne in all of his movies. Gotta love him for getting away with that.
He should be commemorated , he was and still is and always will be an icon.
I enjoy watching all his western films. He was a good actor.
Made doesn't get the credit he deserves. Darn good actor.
Bigger than Life . he was 'John Wayne'
A great actor, that he could insert the character into himself and not the other way around. What you see is pure.

He was a great man of choice words and beliefs, respectful ideals and an American patriot , Great Guy we should have more humans like that.All the critics can go scratch .
What's your favorite memory fo him, Mike?
Join Wayne was in my opinion the greatest Cowboy in America 🇺🇸
Thanks for watching, James!
Marion Morrison was never a 'cowboy', though he portrayed several on film.
His 'cowboy' persona was modeled after Yakima Canutt, a genuine rancher, rodeo star, and pioneering stuntman.
I appreciate how you feel about John Wayne.
You do know he only acted as a cowboy. He wasn't an actual cowboy.
I hope meant that epitomized amarican cowboys better than other actors. He also wasn't a soldier. He rather avoided going to WWII as as a real soldier. If you want to appreciate him for who he really was, he was an actor not a cowboy.
@@honeybeechanger Correct on all counts.
He WAS the greatest cowboy actor ever. And, when he started out it was as a stuntman and he was considered one of the best riders in Hollywood. Yakima Canute was one of his best friends and taught him many riding tricks and stunts. He was just a human like all of us. If anyone of our lives were given this treatment we wouldn't come out looking good. Not one of us.
I read an article about John Wayne once. Some Marines found out where he lived and went up to his dock at night. Wayne went out with his gun and yelled something to the effect of "who the hell is on my dock? Get off or I'll shoot!" One of the Marines yelled back " We're new recruits from Pendleton, sir and we want to meet John Wayne". Wayne responded "Well come on in have have a drink with me".
Steve I wonder if that's the huge boat that he had which was a military vessel that I can't think of what it's called but I saw a video about it several weeks ago ... it was very large ! And really a very cool boat .
John Wayne (the Duke) was a true American Patriot and all his movie's were patriotic !!!!! 💯🇺🇸🦅🗽⚔️

His friends never left him,nor did he lose ALL his money. Jeez,...
BTW,../my favorite film of all is "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance",for both John Wayne AND Lee Marvin (as Liberty).
Well I am happy for him for making more money than movie was worth. Thank God For John Wayne!!!!!!!!

Those are both so good, Elizabeth!
I think the Alamo was was very underrated and not given enough credit as film.
We agree, James!
The J. Wayne Alamo movie was not Historically accurate. NOT EVEN CLOSE .
Always enjoyed his movies. He was a favorite Actor of my Dad. I think despite everything that happened, he made a wise choice directing his own movie.
What's your favorite John Wayne movie, Robert?
No where in this video was there anything about Wayne's friends leaving him.....
I noticed that myself. Don't forget to hit the "dislike" button.
Well gee. Maybe because that was just crap. Hell’s bells. His immediate family was like 25 or 30 people. There wouldn’t have been room for too many friends. I’m sure some sad bastard will put out a video telling how his family hated him too. I think there is some angst here but it ain’t with John Wayne.
@@GuapoJhimi Sacheen Littlefeather was no friend of his lol
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained." Glad he didn't die wishing he'd pursued his dream project.
Although I didn't hear/see in this video how he lost "all" his friends, if that truly was the case, which I think is a wild over-exaggeration (e.g., Maureen O'Hara, Ward Bond), then my only comment is "SOME friends!".
Ward Bond died in 1960 and they were still friends. O'Hara and Wayne were always close.
@@Savannahtyyy My point, exactly. Thanks!
He didn’t lose all his friends. That’s just lying crap stuck in here to make this friendless punk with no past, no present, and no future feel better about himself. It ain’t gonna work.
JOHN WAS, AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE DUKE IN MY WORLD!!!!!!!!
John Wayne is an example where a media profile far exceeded and captivated a public more than who they were in real life, not that I judge him as a bad person, far from it. He, perhaps more, than anyone else, personified Holywood. Now that is some legacy. Reality check here, legacy is of much more value than financial status.
Thanks for watching, Malcolm!
He personified America. The world felt that way. Also,so did the military. they named that little fold over metal can opener after him.
@@xScooterAZx The P38?
Marion Morrison ('John Wayne') never served in any branch of the U.S. military.
@@-oiiio-3993 I never said he did. BUT the P38 is still known as the John Wayne,even by my Father who served in WWII.

I thought John Wayne was the best and i still do
What's your favorite John Wayne movie, Clara?

Oh and Big Jake
John Wayne was just tough enough to pull this one off and he did. He was not perfect, but he was a great American. His Western and military movies are to this day some of the finest movies ever made. Many great entrepreneurs have had numerous financial difficulties, but it is not where you start or are in the middle of your life that counts. It is where you finish.
He was THEE MAN of westerns, I loved him and he was the poster guy of Patriotism
When he died, he had 700,000,000 dollars. I remember reading about it. If that is broke, i, ll trade him any day.
I think you added a few too many zeros, his net worth at his death was $7 Million not $700 Million. Most of his net worth came from his property, he did not gave a great amount of liquid wealth. He once owned the Bar 26 Cattle Ranch in Arizona but that lost money because he had to hire people to run it for him.
More like 500,000
LOL, I think you mean 7,000,000.00.
That is false!
He did what a lot of others won't, he put his own skin in the game and should be remembered for making a hit.

If you don’t mind I would still wanna hear a explanation to why you think of John Wayne as a real man?
He was a actor.
Just another attempt to destroy the heros of the past in my opinion. These actors today can't hold a candle to John Wayne.
Donald I have to agree with you I don't think this guy on this channel did proper research .
Several weeks ago I saw an excellent video of John Wayne's boat which was actually a very huge vessel ... I think it was actually a military boat .
I can't think of the name of the video but you might want to look for it and that ship was really impressive ... they did a tour inside it and told stories about John Wayne
Wayne followed his dream. Kudos.
Thank you Fact Verse.
Thanks for watching, Desert Dragon!
John Wayne put everything he had into the Alamo. It really was his last stand.
Yes it was, makeminefreedom!
Hogwash, The Duke was not broke at the time of his death. I know his family.
I'd always heard he lost his money on the Alamo but apparently he did not as it turned a profit at the box office and, I'm sure, beaucoup bucks on release to TV. I must have watched it a hundred times.
How do you know his family, Rooster Cogburn?
@@FactsVerse I meet John Wayne and some of his family along with Glen Campbell in Dallas, TX when they came to debut the movie True Grit at the Gemini Drive in in 1969. I stay in touch with Aissa and Ethan...
When I was living in Central America Panama 🇵🇦. He had a penthouse suite right across the street from us. We found out he was coming. So we waited for him and he signed autographs on pics of himself and he then asked us to Xcode to lunch the next day. So we had lunch. He was aweaome

He once said James Garner was the best American actor
I felt it James Garner was one of the most underrated actors. He could do comedy or drama. And he came up from the School of hard knocks. Great man. I miss him sorely.
Well he wasn’t always right.
What's this B/S about?
I was lucky enough to meet John Wayne in 1976, I was an extra in one of his movies.
He was very kind and helpful to play my part.
He was not broke or loose any of his real friends.
Stop the B/S!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Tom!
Thank you!!!
He was like Doris Day.
The Duke had a great comment:
"Life is hard. It's s even harder when you're stupid".
😂
There aren’t many other actors whose character differed as much from the roles he plays. Mouse like personality.
John Wayne was one of Hollywood's greatest Cowboys as well as other roles he played. Duke you were one of the best.

Little fact I know...Studio wanted John to make "Green Barret" but he wanted to make "Hell Fighters"...he agreed to make Green Barret if they agreed to produce Hell Fighters...if you watch Green Baret then Hell Fighters they have basically the same cast because they started shooting Hell Fighters right after Green Baret ended...to this day Hell Fighters is my favorite..a hard dvd to find...
I reckon he was a mighty fine cowboy.. mighty fine
Thanks for watching, Tim!
I kayaked the Johnston Strait a couple of years ago, and some of the older locals remember him cruising up and staying every year or so. Not a bad word was said.
Cheers
The man was a real true icon of the film industry, much of life is timing and hard work, God Bless Duke
It was a great movie and he made a modest profit so I think he was wise to give it a try.
We agree, Roxi
He always will be America's top male actor!!!!!
What's your favorite John Wayne role, James?
Despite being a top-ten money maker for 1960, and its popularity in Europe and Japan, the film could not recoup its massive budget in its initial release. John Wayne assumed huge personal debt to get the film finished after United Artists refused to pay for cost overruns during production. It wasn't until the television rights sale in 1971 that Wayne's personal debts were finally paid off.
Thanks for watching!
LMAO. So what. You sound as if that was some kind of foolish or stupid business on Wayne’s part. How much money do YOU owe. Student loans? Waiting for me and my taxpayer friends to cover your ass. I have two college degrees and I owed nothing. Why? Because I went full time and worked full time. Was it hard? Oh God yes. But I didn’t sit around and whine. I just got a job. An entry level job. What do you do for a living? Bug your parents for money?
John Wayne when he died he was worth $7 million….Number 2…John Wayne‘s friends were true friends and he had many And not only that majority of John Wayne’s friends died before him.
Thanks for watching, Charla!
@@FactsVerse Why on earth do you so often start with 'the tragic life and death od' his is rarely true so why, Strikes me you are a bunch on dishonourable wankers!
That is true. Ward Bond and Victor Maclaughlin died in the '50's. Most actors seemed to like John Wayne, even those who disagreed with his politics.
to me he should of had an oscar for director & another one for the acting in his own movie ,,, i throughly enjoyed every bit of the show it was great !!! thats how i feel !!!!
Don't buy a boat.The costs of keeping it in tip top shape are enormous, and all your "friends" think it'a free cruise around the world.Also don't invest in shrimps.

I don’t know whether you are being sarcastic or not. You don’t seem to be very good at conveying your point. If it isn’t sarcasm it is hogwash (I’m sure Wayne would be the first to say that), and if it is sarcasm then you are just a poor communicator.
My father and grandfather both huge John Wayne fans!!! I too am one due to both of them be fans of his!!! Saw many of his movies, some not all I think are great westerns. I’ve heard many people don’t like him now and I can understand why. But still like his westerns and always will!!!

What's your favorite John Wayne role, James?
not a fan of a movie where all the hero's die at the end, The Searchers is my favourite John Wayne movie
We loved that movie too, Denis!
I always liked his westerns but it's not a mystery why he went broke. He spent too much of his own money to make "The Alamo" and never made it back. Every Wayne fan knows that.
Not true. Just because you know tht doesnt mean every fan of his does. Most people dont pay attention to his finances,or if a movie made money or not. They just enjoy watching it.I've been a real fan of his since i was a little girl,in the early 60's. We watched his movies,at the cinema and on tv. But we didnt go hunting for stats.
Not being rude,mind you,just letting you know that not all fans were into all that income,etc.
Every Wayne fan knows that not long after he really made it big, his business manager was found to have cheated him and embezzled from him. That is when he started Batjac Production Co.
Very Good!.. John Wayne Did No Wrong!!!..
good man and actor rip sir
dust to dust and ashes to ashes, it happens to us all
Thanks for watching, Jesse!
Stick with what you know. John was a great actor but he also worked under the best directors. He should of began with a much smaller project. He was right that people would like his movie but way under estimated the difficulty of producing at mega star production. Francis Ford Coppola made the same mistake making Apocalypse now. I am a life time John Wayne fan.
Charles somewhere here on RUclips is an excellent video about John Wayne's but which was actually a very large vessel that he got from the military and it was actually a ship .
They do a tour all through the vessel ....even the engine room .
It really was a great video and they even tell stories about John Wayne there .
Sorry I can't remember the name of the channel are the video but it really was good
Love him, and his films, may he rest in peace 🙏, great video thanks 🖤
Actually, no studio backed him on Alamo. Which is why he put so much money into it. And most of the cast helped Wayne out by not taking a salary at all. Only one, who got a salary was Laurence Olivia, but Laurance didn't want a salary either, but only the way he could do this movie. Laurance was under contract with another studio and only way they allow it, was him to be paid.
With a net worth $50M I think you don't appear to understand what losing all your money means.
Thank you!
Sometimes you just have to go with your passion and do it
We agree, Stephen
John Wayne didn't lose his money and friends Commies
John is America
We all do what we want. He did what he wanted. Don’t you dare tell someone you can’t. Democracy at it’s best.
Good point, Gordon
I am still his friend as are millions of other viewers, and always will be. He was the friend of all man kind.
Thanks for watching, Stan!
He never got away with anything. He never claimed great acting skills. In fact, to paraphrase him, he once said about acting that “you just put yourself in that characters situation and do what you would normally do”. I’m speaking of acting and not the parts being played. I doubt John Wayne ever thought he was the person he portrayed on the screen, unlike some more recent “actors”. He didn’t have to. I think he was comfortable with himself.
Love them all
I admired John Wayne more as a man and an American patriot, than as an actor; although his performances in a couple of his films, "The Searchers" and "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance", were as good as it gets.
"The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" is my ultimate favorite movie. Over all others. John Wayne vs Lee Marvin is something to watch. I tell you. Both men are amazing actors. Add Jimmy Stewart into the mix and it just rocks. Plus Woody Strode.
(sorry,I got carried away)
@@xScooterAZx As a fellow John Wayne AND Lee Marvin fan, I appreciate your enthusiasm.
Some "patriot", he chickened out of military service. And THAT's a fact, Jack!
I have almost every movie he was in. The same with Clint Eastwood.

Visit the Alamo and you will just as I did wonder how it got so big in the movie. It is a really small...
I just love his movies. I have a john Wayne doll. Hes wearing that peach color shirt n scarf .He wears that outfit in a lot of his movies..
What's your favorite John Wayne movie, Rosemarie?
Wasn't he the biggest box office ever, or close to it.
Wayne took care of his children and family - he passed a very wealthy man.
Thanks for watching!
Its easy to talk about someone that is gone
Yeah Frank. That's what I always tell others. Personally if you can't say anything positive don't say anything. I havnt got much except for my character. Good comment.
I think he should be commended for pursuing his dream and he spent his own money in doing so this shows his passion for his country eventually he sold the rights to this movie even though it's the best version in many folks opinion and one of my favorites as well although originally over 3hrs running time it was hacked and cut to reduce time as a kid I'd always love to watch this around Christmas time the myth surrounding the ALAMO the courageous men who many were just volunteers fighting for what they believed was right is an amazing accomplishment and one we could live by today 👍
He didn't lose all his friends or money fool!
John Wayne was his own person.and everything that anyone had to say about him,was to their own benefit. Only the insecure name drop. As you see yourself,you see what people mean in your comparison. If you don’t see yourself as much,John Wayne plays what you doubt in you, and we never know your name. All is your understanding,John Wayne,Jesus Christ,the roll of the next dice.
He was a great actor but we all have financial problems. His movies were great!
