This intimate glimpse into the Duke’s personal and public lives, from filmmaking and the military to politics and life at home, showcases rare full-color family snapshots, iconic film stills, and unique memorabilia, including reproductions of letters, telegrams, and personal notes—all collected from and authorized by the John Wayne estate. Excerpts from Wayne’s private letters and his unfinished memoir reflect his personality, and interviews with close family and personal friends bring to life one of Hollywood’s greatest stars, appealing to fans of Hollywood and Americana alike.

Publishing Date: 1979
Notes:
Paperback, 95 pages, Illustrated
Published in the United Kingdom, this is likely a “tribute magazine” published quickly to capitalize on the passing of John Wayne in 1979. Not much else is known about this very rare item (the image shown is a “stock” image, and not of the actual book/magazine), other than it does show up infrequently on various online auction sites.
