"John Wayne: The Life and Legend" is an insightful biography by Scott Eyman.
John Wayne: The Life and Legend Hardcover - amazon.com: Drawing on interviews that author Scott Eyman conducted with John Wayne before his death and more than interviews with the actor’s family, co-stars, and close associates, this revelatory biography shows how both the facts and fictions about Wayne illuminate his singular life.
John Wayne was more than just one of Hollywood's most successful actors. As he grew as an actor, he transformed into a symbol of America itself. He epitomized the genre of the Western film, which for many people epitomized America. In his political life, he identified himself with conservative causes, from the early s to his passing in In doing so, he became a hero to a generation of Americans and a villain to another generation.
But John Wayne had no interest in politics as a career, unlike his fellow actor Ronald Reagan. John Wayne was also like many of his fellow stars, he changed his life story, claiming to have become an actor almost by accident when in fact he had studied drama and aspired to act for most of his youth. In his love life, he married three times, each to a Latina woman, and carried out a long affair with actress Marlene Dietrich, as unlikely a romantic partner as one could imagine for him.
The characters John portrayed in his films all projected dignity, integrity, and strength, even when the characters were flawed; his characters also prepared to confront injustice in their own method. More than three decades after his passing, John Wayne is still a standard by which other male actors are judged and his morally unambiguous movies continue to attract sizable audiences.
In creating this biography, author Scott Eyman interviewed John Wayne, and many of John's family members, and he has used previously unpublished information from John's friends and associates, as well as documents from John's production company to product insight on John's business affairs.
Scott traces John from his childhood until he achieved stardom in the movie "Stagecoach" and dozens of movies after that. He also looks at John's relationship with director John Ford, who directed some of John Wayne's best films, including "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon", "The Quiet Man", and "The Searchers". His evaluation of Wayne himself is shrewd: a skilled actor who was reluctant to step outside his comfort zone.
Wayne was self-aware; he once said, "I've played the kind of man I'd like to have been." It's that man and the real John Wayne who are brilliantly profiled in this biography.
