The Aging Of John Wayne

Forgive me for jumping ahead, but let's face it, I'm going to die long before I reach the end of this blog and I thought it might be interesting (to me, if to no one else) to see what John Wayne looked like as he aged over the years. Besides, this should give you something to anticipate since I'll eventually write about every one of these movies.

And forgive me if I recycle the photo from The Big Trail essay, but it's just so amazing I can't not show it again.
