One of the most frequently asked is, 'What was John Wayne really like?'  My answer?  '...What you saw, was what you got!'...  But I think Katharine Hepburn, in her book 'Me'  put it best when she said, ..... 'When you buy a cotton shirt----you want to get a cotton shirt.  Not nylon.  It stays clean but it makes you sweat.  Not drip-dry, which you don't have to press but you should.  Just cotton.  Good simple long lasting cotton.  No synthetics.  That's what you get when you get John Wayne.  That's what I got.  And as you can see----I liked it.' ......

Here's a question for you...in how many films did John Wayne die?  There are  probably more then you think so  I'll give you a hint...he died in 8 films plus two more depending on how you look at it!  See if you can name them without going to the INTERNET for the answer.

If you enjoy reading as both Barbara and I do here are a few tips for you...

• 'Company of Heroes'...My Life as as Actor in The John Ford Stock Company by Harry Carey, Jr.  For anyone who loves the western genre, this book is a must for your library!  You can get it direct from him at his website www.harrycareyjr.com or most book stores. 

•  'The Westerners' by my friend Courtney Joyner featuring interviews with actors, directors, writers and producers, has been released and is now available through McFarland, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Yahoo Shopper and about ten other sites including international ones.  It should now be available on shelves of most book stores or can also be ordered through www.thewesternersbook.com.  There will be a book signing on December 5, 2009 at Darkdelicies (www.darkdelicacies.com) in Burbank, CA and I will be attending this event along with Julie Adams and A.J. Fenady.  William Smith will be at the  event with his new book as well.  Hope to see you then!

... In the mean time...hang in there...
