powerHouse Books is asking folks to vote for the cover image for the upcoming John Wayne: The Legend And The Man. Sounds like a great book, offering a glimpse into the Wayne archives and photo albums.
Go here to chime in. The Searchers (1956) shot is great, so are the ones from Hondo (1953) and The Three Godfathers (1948), but I would’ve put something from Rio Bravo (1959, below) in the running. Guess we’ve all got our favorites. (Now that I look at ‘em, that Comancheros shot is pretty cool, too.)
I was watching a video of Battle Los Angeles and one soldier says to the staff sergeant, (Aaron Eckhart), “man, that was totally John Wayne,” a few seconds later someone says, “who’s John Wayne?”
