Additional Information
This portrait of the iconic film actor John Wayne, taken in 1965, shows him how his illustrious career continued to thrive after his successful transition from the silent era to the Golden Age of Hollywood and into the 1970s, where his signature genre, the Western, remained a popular medium that attracted large audiences and significant profits at the box office. In 1999, Wayne was declared one of the most essential male leads in cinema by the American Film Institute, and his influence on the medium cannot be underestimated with his appearance in over one hundred and seventy films during a career that spanned decades and saw significant transformations not only in technology but content and audience reception.
Wayne, born in Iowa and raised in southern California, was awarded a full scholarship to The University of Southern California. However, a bodysurfing accident led to an injury that forced him to leave the university and accept a position at the Fox Film Corporation. Wayne's on-screen image, portraying a rugged frontiersman, immediately resonated with the nation, making him one of the biggest stars of the era. His persona continues to influence American culture, a testament to the enduring impact of his legacy.
This portrait captures Wayne's essential stoic image and remains one of the most iconic images of the actor. Its distinctive style immediately transports the viewer back in time, creating an indelible bond between the past and present. It is a piece of American cinematic history.
