Marion Michael Morrison …

was born on this date in 1907. As John Wayne he won a Best Actor Oscar for True Grit. He was nominated for the same award 20 years earlier, but did not win for Sands of Iwo Jima. Wayne had the lead in 142 films (all but 11 he was in). He died in 1979.

(Morrison was named Marion Robert Morrison when he was born. His middle name was changed by his parents to Michael — or possibly Mitchell — when his brother Robert was born.)
