I cry each time I watch this because John Wayne was a childhood hero of mine, then to learn of what he did behind the scenes and in his private life made him even more of a hero. I love watching his movies and take away some of his actions as an American man. He still figures as a great example in my life at my age of 63. God Bless!
@@gracieg7601 it’s sad that a lot of people, including myself, bought into the movie character “John Wayne”, until I found out who the man behind character was..homosexual, racist, the epitome of why you should never meet your idol. I’ve seen the pictures. Even the great movie director, John Ford, was a homosexual. I couldn’t believe it
I remember a time while crusing by his house in a boat in Newport Beach Harbor, CA,. He was sitting on his deck at the dock. I yelled out to him "Hello Duke" and He yelled back a hello to me. Thank for all you do Jerry. Well done.
At least once every year, my mother and I would sit together and watch The Quiet Man. Though she is gone now, I watch it whenever it comes on. For a while, she's here with me again. God bless you, John Wayne.
I'm actually shedding tears as I finish watching the 'great one's life story to the 'finish'. I saw every film this wonderful guy made, some repeats. So far...no other actor or 'person' has EVER been fortunate enough to be an acting movie star as John Wayne was. I've seen all of his past movies, he is missed!
I met him once while fishing up in the northwest. His gentle, kind, and humble demeanor was entirely unexpected but vastly appreciated. He was a giant of a man in all respects, and I am grateful for the chance encounter. This is a marvelous memorial Mr. Skinner.
Thank you for making us aware of what “The Duke” was really about. What a good guy, raising good children, and leaving us with such good memories. Thank you Jerry. I love your video education presentations.
I can't tell you how much I just love John Wayne! I have loved him since I was a child and that love never wavered as I grew older! Thank you for this!
John Wayne was a big part of my childhood my father and I would watch westerns together on Saturdays or Sunday's after dinner, my Dad was a big fan of westerns and John Wayne was among his favorite actors. Thank you Jerry for this video it took me back.
I'm actually shedding tears after watching the life story of the greatest actor on the screen...JOHN Wayne. Just watched and listened to the wonderful story of his ever so full life as the most fantastic actor that won so many hearts by seeing his many movies which he made, even while very ill with cancer. No other has come forth to 'fill his late life' as an actor.
John Wayne was #1 actor of all time. My mom and I could get my dad to the movies to see cowboy movies. Most were John Wayne. To a true hero by how he lived and treated people with his kind heart. His children were the apple in his eye. He made many movies with actors and actresses to show how he knew what great actors and actresses. He will always be missed. I truly loved Maureen O'Hara as well. I think she was and is my favorite actress and seemed to have my temperamentnt. I’m half Irish. No influence on my decision.😉 God Bless them all including their children.
I actually watched one of his movies today (The Fighting Kentuckian) and probably watch at least one or two every month, his work is always on TV here in the UK. Really enjoyed your documentary. God Bless and RIP John Wayne.
I have been a John Wayne fan for over 50 years and have many of his movies. He is such an iconic character for America. This video helped me learn a lot more about his life. What an extensive family. The next time I watch some of his movies, I will look for his children in them. We are fortunate that he was not able to continue his life playing football. What a fantastic actor and person.
This chap does a real service with his mini biographies.Thank you sir.Probably the biggest male star ever. IMO.He was my favourite . I still watch any of his films that come on tv to this day . Even though I practically know all the scripts ,ha ha ha.He seemed to be a loyal friend as he used a lot of his friends multiple times in his films.
Thank you so much Jerry that was wonderful. I have always been a big fan of the Duke. I've seen almost all his movies and read much about him, but I learned a few things here. John Wayne was the greatest and he will live in our hearts forever.
This is a wonderful biography of John Wayne. There will never ever be another John Wayne. He truly was our American hero. May he Rest In Peace, knowing he was loved by all. God Bless
Loved the commentary of John Wayne. My husband and I are GREAT FANS . We truly LOVE WATCHING HIS westerns and war movies. We sometimes would have a Saturday for the WHOLE DAY FOR JOHN WAYNE’S MOVIES! We sure do miss him. You don’t see any good westerns anymore. Sad day when he died. 😢 Thanks for his movies and a great biography of MR. WAYNE. 👍🇺🇸😊
I am so lucky to be able to say that I was a personal friend of John Wayne from 1970 to 1973. He was the most average and normal man I ever knew while living in Hollywood, there was NEVER one bit of pretence on his part, heck, he never wore his hair when we were together, no matter where we were going. He was, as he said to me, not John Wayne, he was just the man who happened to be John Wayne on the big screen. We traveled together to Tucson, Arizona, where he made some movies, and played cards with some of his friends at his place in Newport Beach. There isn't a day goes by that I don't remember something he said, or some other special memory. I have to tell you that I still pinch myself when I remember how lucky I was to have been able to meet him. Thank you for sharing this memory of a great motion picture giant with us. Love this channel. I learn so much.
I don't mean to make fun of The Duke, but it is kinda funny if you thin about it , that in his last western films he used a lather to get on and off horses. Never got a chance to meet him , knew a lot of people who knew him, but, that's not good enough.
John Wayne will live on in the memories of his millions of fans around the world! He’ll never be forgotten...he lives on in his many films and in the hearts of his children!!!
Roger Howard except you said Pilar died in 1961 in Mexico. They had their second child in 1962, John Ethan Wayne. You might try to correct that. But it was a very interesting piece. Thank you.
@@johneckhoff8348 you might want to re-watch it because he says his 2nd wife Chata returned to Mexico and died in 1961 not his 3rd wife Pliar, who outlived him.
I miss John Wayne to this day. I watch one of his westerns weekly. I was lucky enough in the 80’s, to pet his horse Dollor. A family in Texas bought him and brought him to Fort Worth, Texas to a parade.
There is not enough thumbs up that I can click!! Simply a Beautiful man and his friendship with Mrs. O'Hara is so moving!! Love them both always have and always will!
🙋🏼♀️ No problem Bear Bear! Your comment really bummed me out😢 but isn’t it funny how many of us like to believe we know what these famous ppl 🤩 are really like!? And most of the time we’re let down 😕 because the “stars” 🌟 are just human beings as are the rest of us. 🙄 Guess i’m not _really_ surprised. 🤷♀️ TY for your input! 🥳🤟🏼💋
I am in tears, this man was a childhood Hero of mine, while not a perfect man, he did his best, loved his family and was a positive role model for young boys like me. He did not replace my parents whom are my lifetime heroes, but he reinforced what they had taught me!
That was a great video, the ending made me tear up my dad loved John, had all his films on VCR tapes and played them all the time, I lost my dad in 1997, after a long illness one of the very last tapes he watched was a John Wayne film. Thank you for this, it was very well done.
I'm so sorry about your Dad. I lost mine too and it's very hard. I hope that whenever you see a documentary like this or one of John Wayne's films it makes you smile too remembering your Dad.
My dad died of lung cancer and brain tumors last year. Until the end, he wanted to watch the Wayne collection we had. Rio Bravo was he's favorite though. One thought, though. Watching wayne smoking in EVERY film, all his fans were smoking too. And i want to make clear that i don't blame Wayne for this. I guess hollywood must recognize the crime that was selling in the 30s, 40s, 50s and on and on.
@@johnyrebbaron2618 They can't help themselves when it comes to Duke... ...because he was the walking embodiment of everything they hate. So-called "TOXIC MASCULINITY" was never more singularly personified in any man... and GOD BLESS HIM for it.
Jerry Skinner, that was superb. America, no the world, died a little at the Duke's passing. It would not be Christmas if there wasn't a John Wayne film on TV.
That was fantastic I loved John Wayne and all his movies, He was one of my heros. My mom lost her life to cancer and it was really quick thank god but this video was really good and hit home. rest in piece John wayne.
Jerry...I've been involved in the field of History through many years of research & professional association. I have learned more from watching your videos than information gained from text books, historical documents, History instructors and fellow History associates. My sincere appreciation for all the time you put into researching and producing these excellent video presentations. Thank you very much.
Thank you Jerry, I was moved to tears by the end of you film, I grew up watching john Wayne movies , my mum loved him dearly and had pictures and ornaments all over our house of the duke. Your film is like a walk down memory lane with an old friend. Well done and keep up the good work please. Xx
In my youth John Wayne was my favorite!! He sounds like a wonderful humbled man!! Actors today are very different! The story about your friend brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for another biography!! You are the best!
I watched many films starring John Wayne as a kid and to this day (I am in my 50's) I still enjoy his screen presence. What a man John Wayne was and may his name remain legendary!
Lost my whole family to cancer Jerry once again wish I could give you a billion thumbs up. Not only my favorite actor yet my cat Thor is a John Wayne freak loves watching his westerns over and over.
Thank you Jerry for this wonderful documentary that only you can do properly on a great American. Bless you Jerry and I look forward to seeing your next video.
Another great video Jerry! John Wayne is missed...when John was doing the Alamo in Brackettville, Tx., John bought several cars off my Dad in San Antonio and I got to meet him. I can't tell you much about the meeting I was too star struck, but he signed all the papers and closed the deal with a handshake. He said a man's word is his bond. I remembered it all my life.
John Wayne is my favorite actor, bar none. He is the salt of the earth; a good, simple, honest man we can all look up to. He once said a wife should be pretty and a good companion. I have happily followed this advice, haha! Thank you, Duke. You will not be forgotten!
Jerry, great job. John Wayne is by far one of my favorite actors of all time. What an amazing history of movies John had. Thank you so much for making this video. I will watch it again, and again.
Mr. Skinner, thank you so much for your wonderful videos. I think I have watched them all and I have never seen such wonderful Bios. Integrity, honesty, and accuracy. Thank you again.
Just loved his movie's.. Always watching one every week on the western channel.. As always just a good movie to enjoy at the evening time or a weekend treat.. Never new he had so many kids too.. Lovely and talent like he was too.... Thanks for the enjoyment of this one....
I love this, thank you for sharing it. Our son was born in April of 1979, shortly before we lost John to cancer. We called him Duke from his birth, til his death in 2007. We all loved this great man and actor, what a huge loss! ❤️
The man's voice fit within every American family.Cant watch Duke and not get up out of the dirt.That guy was tough even off screen.Thanks for this,loved it..
Jerry, You have done a masterpiece for John ! I am sure he is looking down, with a smile ! John Wayne was, a true American hero ! Thank you for this amazing tribute !
Mr. Skinner you didn’t talk about John Wayne have scoliosis. That’s why he walked the way he did as he got older. My stepfather was friends with , he told my stepfather about that. And playing sports helped his pain from the scoliosis. I worked at a western wear store in the mid 80’s, we had an autograph picture of John, he also wore a size 8 in men’s boots. I really enjoy all your documentaries, thank you for sharing this with us! ✌️⭐️Stars!! 😀
Excellent. I was very moved, remembering this great man, and all his great movies I watched. I have a DVD collection of about 20 of his early westerns, and a few later ones. Always a pleasure to watch his movies.
I cry each time I watch this because John Wayne was a childhood hero of mine, then to learn of what he did behind the scenes and in his private life made him even more of a hero.

What He did that you admire Him so much ?
Mine too and I am now 65 years old.
At our house we had a picture of John Wayne on the wall in the living room like he was family. My daddy loved John wayne.

Mr. Skinner you didn’t talk about John Wayne have scoliosis. That’s why he walked the way he did as he got older. My stepfather was friends with , he told my stepfather about that. And playing sports helped his pain from the scoliosis.
I worked at a western wear store in the mid 80’s, we had an autograph picture of John, he also wore a size 8 in men’s boots.

Excellent. I was very moved, remembering this great man, and all his great movies I watched. I have a DVD collection of about 20 of his early westerns, and a few later ones. Always a pleasure to watch his movies.
