Marion Robert Morrison
(May 26, 1907 – June 11, 1979), known professionally as
John Wayne
and nicknamed
Duke
, was an American actor and filmmaker who became a
popular icon
through his starring roles in films made during
Hollywood’s Golden Age
, especially in Western and war movies. His career flourished from the
silent era
of the 1920s through the
American New Wave
, as he appeared in a total of 179 film and television productions. He was among the top box office draws for three decades,
and he appeared with many other important Hollywood stars of his era. In 1999, the
American Film Institute
selected Wayne as one of the
greatest male stars
of classic American cinema.
Wayne was born in

The Big Trail
(1930), an early widescreen film epic which was a box-office failure. He played leading roles in numerous
B movies

John Ford
's
Stagecoach
