Editorial Review:
John Wayne - An American Icon is the biography of John Wayne, an iconic Academy Award-winning American film actor. John Wayne epitomized ruggedly individualistic masculinity, and has become an enduring American icon. He is famous for his distinctive voice, walk and enormous physical presence. He was also known for his conservative political views and his support in the 1950s for anti-communist positions. In 1999, the American Film Institute named Wayne thirteenth among the Greatest Male Stars of All Time. His career began in silent movies in the 1920s and he was a major star from the 1940s to the 1970s. He is closely associated with Westerns and war movies, but he also made a wide range of films from various genres - biographies, romantic comedies, police dramas, and more. John Wayne - An American Icon is highly recommended for those interested in reading more about this popular film actor.
John Wayne - An American Icon (Biography) Reviews:
General Info 
2009-02-21 - This is a very general review of John Wayne 's Life and career. It is worth the price I paid for it. I was looking for a book that had More information. But all in all it had good information init.
John Wayne 101 
2008-09-05 - A poor attempt to write a public domain record of the life and history of John Wayne. I bought this book thinking it was a new collaboration or information about John Wayne that we hadn't seen before. But what was published was a 50 page work of garbage copies from some good and bad sources. Some of the references/footnotes are from inaccurate sources, some are even taken from the error filled IMDB site. To top it off they state they are using a public domain photo of Duke and the photo is horribly copies and printed on the front cover. The whole book looks as if it was written by a 1st Grader. it's not worth the paper it is printed on. John Wayne is my hero but this book is an insult to his name.
