The man has so much humility. A truly humble acceptance speech. John Wayne has left a legacy that will go on for decades. Like many of his contemporaries John Wayne’s work lives on and on. Unlike some of the so called “stars” of today.

True Grit indeed. It is my favorite John Wayne movie.

That has to be the BEST award acceptance speech I’ve ever heard! Short, Honest, heart felt, and perfectly delivered. It just doesn’t get any better than the “Duke”! Back when “Stars” really did seem larger than life. They were starts on screen and looked like you’d imagine a “Star” would look like when you watched them on an award show. Today, it’s hard to tell a star from a street person! Half the time today they look like they grabbed something to wear from the hamper!
Those were the days!

He deserved so many more!!
I won’t say …
I won’t say anything bad about John Wayne as an actor, or even his political beliefs, but on his hypocrisy. During the Vietnam war, he used to say “get off your butt and join the Marines”, yet when he was eligible during WWII, he sought and got deferments, while actors like Jimmy Stewart, John Garfield and Robert Ryan went into the military.

Oscars look like …
Oscars look like they’re rigged. Look at frame 0:29 and on. Jon Voight & Richard Burton have look like they know they lost and Duke has smug look like he’s won. Everyone involved must know the outcome before it’s announced. Dustin Hoffman was nominated & didn’t show. Do you think he’d have NOT appeared if he KNEW he was going to win? No way.
his only oscar

I hope you made it to Heaven Mr. Wayne.

@waydownNMway Asshole…..Wayne was 12 when WWI broke out. He was 36, married with kids when WWII broke out. 50 something during Vietnam.
You are a nitwit.
I just visited …
I just visited White ‘O Mornin where John filmed The Quiet Man and his presence is still there as Sean Thornton. What a great great actor and what a man. Nobodies perfect and so what if he said some things, you’ve gotta admire the man. Brilliant, my favourite actor.
wow, these …
wow, these acceptance speeches are noting like today. Such sophistication and gratitude. Very well spoken.

@77KMAN … John Wayne was an unAmerican, draft-dodging coward.
