John Wayne

 Biografie John Wayne

In 11 iunie 1979, moare John Wayne. Vedeta care a jucat in nenumarate filme western s-a luptat cu cancerul vreme de peste un deceniu. Numele real al lui Wayne a fost Marion Michael Morrison si s-a nascut in 1908, la Iowa. In copilarie s-a mutat la Glendale, California. Dupa ce a jucat cu succes fotbal american la Liceul din Glendale, s-a inscris la Universitatea din California de Sud, pe baza de bursa, insa a renuntat la facultate dupa doi ani.

In timp ce lucra intr-un studio de film, s-a imprietenit cu John Ford, un regizor aflat in ascensiune. Wayne a jucat roluri mici, cu numele de scena Duke Morrison (o porecla din copilarie, provenita de la cainele familiei, care-l insotea aproape permanent pe Marion). In 1930, un prieten din facultate, Raoul Walsh, l-a distribuit in primul sau rol principal, platit cu 75 de dolari pe saptamana, in filmul The Big Trail, care a fost un esec lamentabil.

In anul urmator, studioul Fox a renuntat la serviciile lui Wayne. Dupa ce a plecat de la Fox, Wayne a lucrat la LoneStar/Monogram, unde a jucat in 16 westernuri mediocre, intre 1933 si 1935. Turnand uneori doua westernuri pe saptamana, Wayne a jucat mai multe personaje dure si necizelate. In 1939, Wayne a resusit in sfarsit sa se impuna, atunci cand vechiul sau prieten John Ford l-a distribuit in filmul Stagecoach. Dupa aceea, Wayne a interpretat eroi memorabili in numeroase filme. In 1969, a castigat Oscarul pentru rolul sau din filmul True Grit.

In patru decenii de actorie, Wayne a aparut in 250 de filme. Dintre acestea, majoritatea au fost regizate de Ford, iar cele mai importante filme ale sale au fost She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949) si The Quiet Man (1952). John Wayne a fost casatorit de trei ori si a avut sapte copii si 16 nepoti.
