Made a bunch of old movies? The telegrapher from Gene Autry Oklahoma or that Leonard Slye fella from Cowtown? Hatari.

Re: John Wayne marathon on Turner Classic Movies smokeyjoe53 wrote: Little known fact: John Wayne actually started his movie career as "Singing Cowboy"............ Well, Pilgrim, they tried to make him a singing cowboy but finally figured out he could fake fight a heck of a lot better than he could sing. Jet Pilot.

Before Lonesome Dove..................... You played pojo with Call? They Were Expendable. What does any of this mean Pojo's kind of a pun on polo. Tommy Lee played Call in Lonesome Dove. Call was very, very, very loosely based on Charles Goodnight by Larry Mc Murtry. Expendables is a John (Marion Morrison) Wayne movie. Oop's, almost forgot. The Barbarian and the Geisha. Pee Ess. Hint: if you missed it earlier Leonard Slye= Roy Rogers= singing cowboy # 2.

He was raisied in Achille & Ravia OK. Later bought a ranch outside Berwyn OK & the townfolk's renamed it Gene Autry. http://www.cow-boy.com/museum.htmDad stopped by there on the way to ??? when I was a kid. It was closed but I remember the grounds. Blood Alley.

Re: John Wayne marathon on Turner Classic Movies Daddy's Duke Story. End of WWII Army Staff Sargent in the Phillipines. 1949? a guy who worked for him & knew he liked to fly (had a piper cub) suggested they join the Marine Corps Reserve & they could fly such & such a plane through the Naval Reserve Base. Korea, activated. El Toro, CA., Flight Crew Chief. John Wayne & co come to shoot scenes for Flying Leathernecks. "Filming" plane breaks down. Dad seeks & obtains permission to use a base plane for 3-4 filming runs (most flight scenes in the movie come from a film library). They remove a door & anchor down a tripod.
That evening the crew & a few others were invited to steaks & drinks with the Duke in a tent on site.
I was told he was the same in person as on screen, down to earth.
