Cowboy John Wayne | Marion Robert Morrison
Actor John Wayne was perhaps best known for his cowboy roles in Hollywood westerns.
He was born Marion Robert Morrison but just his name for the movies. "Duke" was a life-long nickname and he was often called Duke Wayne. He was the grandson of a Civil War soldier and his great-great grandfather, a Scots-Irish, emigrated to the United States in 1782. This history may have contributed to his conservative take on politics.
He was married 3 times.
