THE GRIT AND WISDOM OF AN AMERICAN ICON

PERHAPS BEST KNOWN FOR HIS CLASSIC MOVIE LINES, SUCH AS “FILL YOUR HANDS, YOU SONS-OF-BITCHES!” FROM TRUE GRIT, THE LATE ACTOR JOHN WAYNE OFTEN DISPLAYED A SPONTANEOUS AND BITING WIT WHEN AWAY FROM THE SCREEN AS WELL. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN A REPORTER FROM THE HARVARD CRIMSON SARCASTICALLY ASKED WAYNE IF HE LOOKED AT HIMSELF AS AN AMERICAN LEGEND, THE DUKE REPLIED: “WELL, NOT BEINIG A HARVARD MAN, I DON’T LOOK AT MYSELF ANYMORE THAN NECESSARY.”
