People's Describing John Wayne

     "I liked Wayne's wholeness, his style. As for his politics,-well-I suppose even cave men felt a little admiration for the dinosaurs that were trying to gobble them up."    

Abbie Hoffman, a radical of the 1960's

     "Wayne is, of course, marvelously indestructible, and has become an almost perfect father figure."

Vincent Canby, reviewing 'The Cowboys' for the New York Times

     "He would become a 'superpatriot' for the rest of his live trying to atone for staying home."

Pilar Wayne, John Wayne's third wife

     "It is important for you to know that I am a registered Democrat and, to my knowledge, share none of the political views espoused by Duke. However, whether he is ill disposed or healthy, John Wayne is far beyond the normal because of his talents as an actor, his strength as a leader, his warmth as a human being throughout his illustrious career, he is entitled to a unique spot in our hearts and minds. In this industry, we often judge people, sometimes unfairly, by asking whether they have paid their dues. John Wayne has paid his dues over and over, and I'm proud to consider him a friend, and am very much in favor of my Government recognizing in some important fashion the contribution that Mr. Wayne has made."

Robert Aldrich, then president of the Directors Guild Of America, testifying to Congress of the merit and deservedness of the Congressional Gold Medal for John Wayne
