Inscription on Mr. Wayne's headstone: About John WayneNote: Links with green underlines are shopping links and will open in a new window John Wayne (born Marion Morrison, May 26, 1907 – June 11, 1979) is such an iconic American legend that his name has become synonymous with courage, integrity, heroism, America, and standing up for what is right. Born in Winterset, Iowa in 1907, he moved to California at an early age with his family. After graduating high school he attended the University of Southern California on an athletic scholarship, playing football until a surfing injury caused his retirement from athletics and subsequently lost him his scholarship. However, while still attending college he had begun working at local film studios, where he was able to begin picking up bit parts in various movies. John Wayne's movie career moved forward slowly for several years. He made more than 70 movies, including a long list of low-budget Westerns, before being cast in the 1939 Western "Stagecoach." While his career had its ups and downs from that point until his last film ("The Shootist" in 1976) the part of the Ringo Kid in "Stagecoach" proved to be his breakout role. While starring in and excelling at numerous roles, John Wayne became best known as the quintessential movie cowboy and war hero, and one of the best recognized symbols of America at home and abroad.
