John Wayne accepting an Oscar for the movie True Grit (My favorite western) and probably one of the best westerns of all time. This was a man. There is something to be said of his absolute humbleness as he makes his brief speech. Few if anyone could even come close to him today.

Yes, John Wayne had nothing but class. That has gone by the wayside and made the oscars a joke. they give them out now as a political tool. Wasn't it the Oscars a couple years ago when Robert De Niro came out looking like a homeless person in some straggly beard and said, "F- Trump" then everyone swooned. No class anymore, no morals, and not even a care for their craft. Just disgusting. The days of John Wayne and Jimmie Stewart are long gone and will probably never return.

It is a shame how he has been persecuted the last few years. But he still stands tall in my book!
Those that would persecute are nothing but smaller men. John Wayne was an icon for the ages. He told it like it was and never backed down, never compromised, a man of distinction.
