John Wayne; a giant shadow
C.McGivern
Foreword authorised by Steven Spielberg
“My real name is Marion Morrison...
I’m happy people call me “Duke”…if you were my size, wore cowboy boots and a big hat, outrode, outfought and outshot all the badmen in the West…how would you like to climb down off a horse, throw your saddle over the corral rail and then walk offcamera to a chair labelled,
“Marion”?
This updated and revised edition provides a high profile and unusual look at Hollywood’s most enduring icon.
Described by the head of DreamWorks as “appetising and very moving.” It’s also full of surprises and shocks. If you thought you knew John Wayne…it is time to think again.
Full of Wayne quotes, direct and personal, the way he liked to do business. Movie buffs and John Wayne fans all over the world love it.
Carolyn’s narrative reads so true and feels so right, that it debunks any prejudice that only a family member or Wayne intimate or at the very least, an American, could possibly get this close to the real man.
