John Wayne

No one portrayed war, through patriotic movies, better than John Wayne. He had acted in countless films and soon became a bankable star in the genre. The reason may have been his experience serving in the military, although the star never actually got to be on the borders, fighting, due to his age and flourishing career in Hollywood.

Regardless of whether he actually served or not, John’s films were a big hit in an otherwise sad country. It lifted everyone’s spirits and renewed the feeling of defending the nation’s honor!
