RIP Robert Duvall

I liked Duvall ever since The Godfather. The best part is Hollyweird couldn't get him to wear a wig.
Travel on, Lt. Colonel Kilgore.
He wore one in The Godfather. He complained because it was ugly.
Thanks. I still like his characters. I watched Open Range 3 or 4 times. Anything with Annette Bening makes me laugh.
When Wayne won an Academy award for his role he said if he had known wearing an eye patch would win him an academy award he would have worh one a long time before.
I watch Open Range yesterday in memory of Robert Duval err Bluebonnet.
Getting on and riding a horse at Wayne's age and weight is risky, especially in The Cowboys. I lived in Belle Fourche for a few months (where the Cowboys were headed to sell their cattle). It made me want to buy a horse or Harley until I realized it snows in August. Belle Fourche is said to be the center of the North American continent. I like trivia, what can I say?
Nah, for all the films Wayne was in he only acted in three; Searchers, Red River, and True Grit. Take out the Quiet Man, El Dorado, StageCoach (largely because it was his first), and a few of the John Ford films and he could have mailed it the other hundred or so
I never liked Bruce Dern after he shot John Wayne in the back! Wayne filmed The Sons of Katie Elder just months after having a partial pneumonectomy. He was pretty tough. He had a pig valve put into his heart. Johnny Carson ask how he was feeling. Wayne said pretty good but on rainy days he wanted to wallow in the mud.

The Sons of Katie Elder and the Man that Killed Liberty Valence were pretty good too.

One of those actors who elevated every film he was in. "Lonesome Dove" is tops for me, but what a list.
I liked The Shootest with Richard Boone. (Paladin)
Agreed. I teared up when Gus died. That is great acting.
I’d go with the Liberty Valance film, but not the other, it is the same role Wayne played for sixty years
I never liked John Wayne, horrible actor, never served in WWII and he was a racist.I never liked Bruce Dern after he shot John Wayne in the back!
