John Wayne  

Definición

  • Actor For both the World War II and Vietnam generations, the motion picture icon John Wayne embodied the place where American manhood and martial valor met. Whether riding “tall in the saddle” or portraying a no-nonsense soldier, Wayne presented to Americans and moviegoers around the world an image of American manhood that was captured in his nickname “the Duke.” As with many men whose image is larger than life, the real life John Wayne was less heroic, more complex, and arguably more interesting than the tough-talking marine who dominated the screen. [Source: Encyclopedia of War & American Society; Wayne, John]
