John Wayne died on June 11, 1979 of stomach cancer at UCLA Medical Center. He was buried at Pacific View Memorial Park cemetery in Corona del Mar. Wayne requested his tombstone to read "Feo, Fuerte y Formal" meaning "ugly, strong and dignified". The saying never happened. Wayne's grave went unmarked for twenty years. When his tombstone was marked, it wasn't with the phrase he wanted. It was marked with one of his quotation from his 'Playboy' interview: "Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes to us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday."
