The Duke

Sooo....I just happened to be poking around for pictures of a particular hair-do and I typed in "John Wayne" and saw some pictures I'd never seen before...I had to share some of these great pictures of my all-time favorite actor!

Young Duke...

Very possibly I have seen this one as I have seen many of his early B-Westerns.

This one and the next one are from the same film--obviously...

And I haven't seen it! This must have been one of his very first movies because he is so young.

Coffee with the horse...(is that a Packard back there?)

Colonel and Mrs. York (aka John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara in Rio Grande--my favorite--if I can say that I actually have a favorite Duke movie.)

This here is a different kind of horse for him...

And one more for good measure! (Actually kinds of reminds me of Grandpa in this one...)

The Duke always played a man's man--and I truely believe that's who he was. Whether or not he was a Christian...well, I don't speculate on that. :)

I'm afraid John Wayne is something of a litmus test for good-lookin' in my book; that square jaw and a smile that lights up his whole face. :D Well, John Wayne and my own Daddy of course!

So, now you have it! I think Duke was awful handsome. (But...of course, if you already know me; you probably already knew that! :D)
