Happy Birthday, John Wayne

Scott Eyman, author of the great John Ford biography PRINT THE LEGEND, celebrates the centennial of John Wayne's birth with "100 Reasons to Love John Wayne." Don't miss it.

The Centennial Celebration at Wayne's birthplace in Winterset, Iowa, sounds really special.

Over at The Shelf, J.C. Loophole and Wolf Flywheel choose their Top 10 (make that 11, or 13!) John Wayne Westerns. It's a great list.

From the Fredricksburg Free Lance-Star: "As no one else on the screen, Wayne demonstrates to a young country the old virtues it needs to remain strong and blessed."
