I'm glad Aissa Wayne shared her memories with us.

Aissa Wayne (the author of this book and daughter of John Wanye)wines and complains thoughout the whole book. Making this very disappointing if you were hoping to read some good stories of John Wayne behind the camera.

In Tucson, the whole town loved John Wayne and affectionately dubbed a Saturday Night midnight viewing of ... Read More
