The Untold Truth Of John Wayne
John Wayne remains an American icon thanks to his roles in popular Westerns and war movies, but what do we really know about him? From his early days to his heights of fame and later controversies, this is the untold truth of John Wayne. Wayne was born Marion Robert Morrison in 1907 in Iowa. In 1914, he headed west with his family to California. Young Wayne's closest companion was his little dog, an Airedale named Duke. The two were so inseparable that they became known as "Little Duke" and "Big Duke," and thus a lifelong nickname was born. While attending Glendale High School, Wayne excelled at football and theater. At first, he believed he was destined for a career on the gridiron. He played so well that he received a scholarship to play for the University of Southern California Trojans. In his leisure time, he was a typical surfer dude at Newport Beach. Unfortunately, his days on the waves and his budding football career ended in 1926 when he was injured in a bodysurfing accident. This forced him to leave school, and he began working for local movie studios.
