I met John Wayne when I was a Kid. My family used to rent a beach house in Newport Beach every summer. John Wayne had a home on the marina. There was a resturant called the Crab Cooker. It's still there and is kind of a Newport Beach icon.
Anyways, John Wayne came to get a bite to eat and he was saying hi to the people waiting in line to get in the place. I remember him shaking my hand and saying in that famouse voice," How' are you doing little guy?" He was just like he was in the movies. I deffinately knew who he was. Probably one of the most recognized movie stars in history.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

You lucky bastard....
One of his co-stars used to own a fairly large ranch about 60 miles north of Wichita. Dammit I cannot remember his name right offhand, but he was in many westerns and many movies with John Wayne.
A friend of mine met John once, as John used to occasionally fly out to Kansas to stay at the ranch for a week or two at a time just to hang out and get away from it all....I forget the details.
How cool it would be to meet such a legendary actor!Last edited by Hardrock69; 08-20-2006, 01:01 PM.Comment

I probably was 8 years old when I met him. He liked the Crab Cookers clam chowder. Usually he would send someone or sometimes wait in the car while the driver ran in, but that evening the Duke wanted to be with the people.
Newport Beach was basically a middle class surfers town and family vacation spot. John Wayne was the first celebrity to move down there, so naming the Orange County Airport after him is very propper.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

He is buried not too far from there as well....in Corona Del Mar.
Man why does he just have that little headstone????
He deserves some kind of fucking MONUMENT!!!Comment

I have the John Wayne Comemorative Winchester Model 94 with the big ass lever loop on it so you can to the True Grit Twirl if you want to. They sold them in the 80's. I'm never selling it.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

I bought a Winchester 94 in 1972...why? From watching all the John Wayne and Kirk Douglas films.
Of course, because they were in every cowboy movie ever made also.
It was a pretty cool rifle...perfect size for a 12-year-old (being a carbine).
I see them now at gun shows and they look so small to me.Comment

Great thread.
I watch Duke movies whenever they are on.
Watched El Dorado actually this past weekend.
I agree with Hardrock when he called Charlene Holt a Milf. She was hot for her day.
Personally I prefer El Dorado over Rio Bravo since I also like Robert Mitchum.“If bullshit was currency, Joe Biden would be a billionaire.” - George W. BushComment

I said it before, I'll say it again....that pic in your sig is the fucking SHIT!!!
