'''John Wayne''' (born Marion Michael Morrison, nicknamed "The Duke") is considered by many to be the closest thing to the [[Rated
A former college football star (a leg injury led to his well-known gait), Wayne got his start as a bit actor before John Ford cast him as a major player in the movie ''[[Stagecoach]]''. From there, he went on to appear in dozens of Westerns, including ''[[She Wore a Yellow Ribbon]]'', ''[[True Grit]]'', ''[[The Searchers]]'', and ''[[McLintock]]''. Occasionally, he switched to being a soldier (assuming, as was the case in ''Ribbon'', he wasn't both at the same time), and his wartime roles include a paratrooper in ''[[The Longest Day]]''.
