It seems that if I ever had to call any celebrity a parent, as personified on the screen, I would have to say it would John Wayne.
His screen class and demeanor was that of an out and out gentleman. A parent that many adults, myself included, wish they could be at times. The Duke may have disputed my observation, and Patrick, his son, may also give a grumble to the statement, but to me he was a very stern well done on screen character.
I have found that The Duke’s love of life, God and Country was one that I could easily emulate. It was one that I have found to be easy on the soul to carry, his love of country never faltered, regardless of the times. And his faith in God and Family was that which could be seen as steadfast.
It was John Wayne’s love of America and its history that still stands with me today. It was what drove me to learn more out the United States, where we came from, what makes us great and what makes us tick. It was his true patriotism that staands head and shoulders in my personal family.
His acting may have been at times campy, or rough around the edges, but his passion was always there to fill in the gaps.
