Visiting John Wayne's grave to honor his service

🎙️

We delve into the life and career of Hollywood legend John Wayne.

We'll take you from the dusty plains of Wyoming during the filming of 1930's 'The Big Trail,' where a young and determined John Wayne began to carve out his place in cinematic history, to the memorable performance in his final film, 'The Shootist,' where he poignantly confronted his own mortality.

We highlight Wayne's journey through various roles, his relationship with director John Ford, and his attempts to serve in World War II.

Last but not least, we touch upon Jenn's recent visit to Wayne's gravesite and discuss his impactful legacy on American cinema and military portrayal.
