The actress first appeared opposite John Wayne in “Red River”, with JW playing ruthless trail leader Thomas Dunson, offering to sire children with her in the manner of a bull mating with a heffer. Not surprisingly Dru, as pioneer Tess Millay, spurns Dunson’s offer and takes up with Dunson’s orphaned friend Matt Garth instead, played by Montgomery C...
We’re somewhat surprised Donna Reed isn’t lauded as much as other actresses of her generation, seeing as she starred in two of the most famous Hollywood classics ever made, “It’s A Wonderful Life” and “From Here to Eternity”, the latter garnering her a Best Supporting Actress award in 1953. Along with those two films, her understated role as army n...
Gail Russell was one of the most beautiful of Wayne’s co-stars, but alas was also one of the most tragic, dying of alcoholism at the much too young age of 36. She really hit the big time in 1947 when she won the role of the young Quaker girl, Penelope Worth, in “Angel and the Badman”, nursing wounded outlaw John Wayne back to health. In the film, R...
Next to Katherine Hepburn, Patricia Neal is probably the most award-laden of all Wayne’s female co-stars with Academy, Tony and Global nominations to her name along with a BAFTA for her role opposite Duke in the Preminger war epic “In Harm’s Way”. Prior to this, she appeared as Wayne’s estranged wife in “Operation Pacific”, giving a convincing perf...
Husky of voice and extremely easy on the eye, it was inevitable that Lauren Bacall would end up in the arms of John Wayne sooner or later, onscreen of course, appearing opposite JW for the first time in “Blood Alley”. Wayne is in full commie-baiting mode as the captain of a steamer attempting to sneak a group of villagers out of communist-ruled Chi...
Hayward comes about six places down on the cast list for “Reap the Wild Wind”, so her role is not that substantial. She’s just required to scream a lot as she drowns in the hold of a boat that has been scuppered by the dastardly Captain Jack Stuart, a rare villainous role for JW. A couple of years later Hayward played opposite JW in “The Fighting S...
It appears to be a matter of public record that Mr. Wayne and Miss Dietrich enjoyed a “meaningful relationship” for nigh on three years whilst Wayne was married to his first wife, Josephine Saenz. The couple first linked up, onscreen anyway, in “Seven Sinners”, a comedy drama romance of sorts in which Dietrich played the improbably named torch sing...
Claire Trevor qualifies as one of the most frequent leading ladies in the films of John Wayne, managing to get her man in three of the four films she appeared in with him. First up, of course, is “Stagecoach”, in which she plays lady of the night Dallas, expelled from the town of Tonto for being too free and easy with her favours. Although billed a...
Vera Miles is best known in the JW world for her role as Laurie Jorgenson in “The Searchers”, the long-suffering girlfriend of Martin Pawley (Jeffrey Hunter), who leaves home to accompany JW on a five-year odyssey to help rescue the niece of Ethan Edwards from the Comanche chief Scar. The actress had a much more robust role in “The Man Who Shot Lib...
No prizes for guessing who occupies the number one slot in Wayne’s list of leading ladies with whom he appeared with the most. Maureen O Hara, once described, appropriately, as ‘illegally beautiful’, was also a very good actress and more than capable of holding her own onscreen opposite Wayne. Their first pairing was in John Ford’s cavalry movie, “...
Feb 19, 2018 · The Conqueror, a film that depicts a turbulent love affair between a Mongol warrior chief named Temujin and the beautiful daughter of his worst enemy, features a stellar cast of John Wayne, Susan Hayward, and Pedro Armendáriz. However, despite its high-profile cast and moderate box office success, the film was an absolute critical flop.

Oct 14, 2015 · JOHN WAYNE – The man and the myth. A lot has been written about John Wayne and his early days as an actor in ‘B’ westerns during the 1930s, although even he thought ‘B-Grade’ was rather over-generous description. ‘Hell, they were a lot farther down the alphabet than that’, he recalled. And they were, too. Rock bottom in his career ...
