- John Wayne, famous for his onscreen personification of the quintessential American hero, was fascinated by the legend of the Alamo. His 1960 production of the epic story of the 1836 Battle of the Alamo premiered in San Antonio. His daughter Marisa Wayne, and his granddaughter, Anita Lacava Swift, talk about Wayne's dream of being able to tell the story of the Alamo and why he made such an enormous personal committment to making the movie

Rip to John Wayne he was the best Rip Amen xxx
When I was young I asked my Uncle Bob how I should be- he told me to pick a couple of Actors, to which I picked John Wayne and Johnny Weissmuller, as Tarzana. This simple tool has helped guide me through my life. It was a blessing to have so many Great Actors when I grew up. Being 74 years old.
One Plus With John Wayne, Is He Loved Being An American. And He Was A Patriot, Most American's Will Not Forget The '' THE DUKE '' R.I.P
A great movie I met John Wayne when I was five yrs old. San Antonio is my home town. Remember the Alamo.
God Bless John Wayne & His Family.... R.I.P Duke....
John Wayne was legendary as is the Alamo. Without the battle of the Alamo there would be no Republic of Texas and later the State of Texas! God Bless Texas!
John Wayne was a 2nd cousin to my parternal grandma Cecil (Morrison) Rosenberg never got to meet him but am proud to be related to him
That was a great movie!!!
I love John Wayne. He was a good person and he had wonderful children. Very good family. I like The Alamo and the Searchers very much.
A great movie, and still inspiring, it should be required viewing in schools,
No, it was a Hollywood take on history. You need to teach facts in school, not fiction.
John Wayne did tremendous work and intense love in making his magnum opus “The Alamo”. From it two legends will be remembered. The men of the Alamo and of the Duke!!!
I was there for that event they close the entire block at the Alamo. We had a great time. The next day we were allowed to go visit the movie set out in Brackettville. Great memories.
MY NAME IS JOHN WAYNE EVERETT THEY TOOK DOWN HIS ....AT USC I WILL NEVER GO THERE AGAIN TO USC ....TERRIBLE HE LOVED THE USA AND PEOPLE MORE THAN ANY ONE IN MOVIES HE IS STILL MY REAL LIFE HERO I THANK GOD FOR JOHN WAYNE AND HIS LIFE HE WAS A GREAT PERSON NEVER HATED ANYONE ....WE R ALL HUIMANS...

Absolutely
Agreed!
I stumbled across this and I’m so glad I did. Great tribute. I’m a life long JW fan like so many others, and being able to see the Alamo in TX is still on my bucket list. Thanks for sharing this.
It is amazing, u must go😊!
Love him he is my hero and always will be xxxx
He was a great man and actor god bless you John xx❤❤❤
I remember seeing the movie when it came out in 1960 in Houston as a 7 year old. Then driving to San Antonio with my family to see the Alamo. Had a big impact on me.
It was quite a task for Mr. Wayne to produce, direct and act in that film. I have watched it many times and still enjoy it, well done Duke...
Even in death the man's a GIANT humanitarian! !
Gigante umanitario...
Diede prova di quanto fosse "umanitario" quando aggredi' Piccola piuma in occasione del rifiuto di Marlon Brando dell'Oscar per protesta in difesa degli indiani.
Wayne era un suprematista bianco,in poche parole un razzista coglione...
I loved John Wayne. And I sobbed through “The Alamo” as a teenager. RIP John Wayne.
Now you got ME started! 😞
The Actual Alamo Replica used by John Wayne sits out in the Texas desert in decay something should be done to save it and restore it hopefully
Money
As native of San Antonio, I love the story of the brave defenders of the Alamo and treasure the Shrine of Texas liberty. God bless Texas AND God bless John Wayne!
Thank you John!
John Wayne will always be special to me. R.I.P
wow, Duke really had looks in his DNA ! ! you ladies are lovely.

He be proud of his Children have a great Class of Woman and Men , Patriots of the greatest Americans has to offer . Things are coming . Weatherby things .

❤❤❤❤❤
What I remember of the show, "The Alamo", he did the history some justice with how the movie was produced.
I always was, and still am a fan of John Wayne, and was saddened when I heard of his death. He was to me, like Elvis Presley was to his fans....BIGGER THAN LIFE. And if anyone knows about the way he acted, I felt like he knew his roles before he actually filmed them.
Never knew about the Event, so this was neat to watch.
Thank you for the information on The Alamo and John Wayne.
Dumnezeu să-l odihnească în pace ❤
Want to THANK John Wayne & his family. We in the US are running out of PATRIOTS! Everything in society is Me, Me ,ME ! Whatever happened to WE, as in WE THE PEOPLE? As an old-timer myself I'd like to THANK Mr. Wayne & others like him who inspired confidence in our country at tough times when we most needed it! Take a look around. Where ARE we headed? The world is a tinder box & people want to keep lighting FIRES instead of putting them out? Duke, if you're listening, please pull a few strings & see about sending America a true LEADER, we have too many politicans dividing the country instead of keeping it together!___GOD BLESS AMERICA___
The greatest movie ever made in America, about America, by Americans.
Yes he was the director and starred in the 1960 Alamo movie.
God Bless Our Republic!!!!!!
my name is jay a. reynolds jr. watts. my cuz was dr. john purdy reynolds who died in the alamo war also in the same blood line is burt reynolds and jack (hacksaw) reynolds of the NFL san francisco 49's.
I remember reading this movie almost broke him.
We loved your Daddy, ladies!
Some of the story of “The Searchers” came from my Texas ancestors direct participation with the Cynthia Ann Parker kidnapping by the Comanche. My Great-Great Grandpa was married to Cynthia Ann’s cousin Rachel Parker (Plummer).
She & son James were also captured in that Indian raid of May 19, 1836-2 months after the Fall of the Alamo.
God speed to the John Wayne family.

Jim G. Plummer Thank you for the link - the account made for harrowing reading and admiration for the self preservation instincts of some of the survivors. Much appreciated.
To me...
John Wayne is as big as George Washington 🇺🇸
They both loved this nation that much 🇺🇸
Jhon Wayne american hero
I remember reading an article about the issues that beset the production - John Wayne's financing worries, the murder of one of the minor female cast members, the problem of rattlesnakes on a filming location backlot, clashes of temperaments between a couple of principal actors- it's a wonder the Alamo was ever made.
Then there was the tacky post production campaign to promote Oscar nominations - which didn't work thankfully.
Still a great film though.
Come join us at Maureen And Duke ~ "Forever In Our Hears" Fan Group as we Remember Duke and fight like it's THE ALAMO because his reputation and legacy are under attack!
John Wayne el mas famoso actor norteamericano de la década del 60 y El Álamo es una de las mejores película que he visto y he pasado (soy operador cinematográfico,con 45 años de cabina de proyección).
The only thing I'm sorry about John Wayne is that he never made a movie with Gary Cooper. The two were the greatest Western movie stars of all time. I think that had they been born 30 or forty years later, they would have played more roles with the native American Indian being the good guys.
Now in it's 185th year.
Save the set dammit!!!¡!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry I don't agree with the 1960 movie and the actors picked to portray certain historical people..but he was and is a very good and great man. The 2000 Alamo movie is more accurate to how many of us Mexican Americans believe except for the Santa Ana depiction that is too negative
@tejaspics he just made the movie about it rite ?? lol
@tejaspics whats funny ??
How do you figure?.....the rest of America wants to know....
The only movie john wayne made for grown adults might have been was The Shootist and it was farfetched,his worst movie was The Alamo that by far was the worst it’s so far from what really happened at the Alamo it’s absolutely ridiculous especially the scene where they balance a feather on their noses and try to blow them off ridiculous!!!
And you would know anything about me....how?
@TexazTru John Wayne has NOTHING to do with the Alamo
he certainly publicized it to a whole nation not from TX, and generations removed from the time that he, Wayne, lived. You're welcome. You treat him like he was a Mexican generalissimo.
LOL...John Wayne???
The Alamo...
A symbol of slavery and Manifest Destiny.
The 2004 Alamo is far superior and truthful to the John Wayne one, which was far to long and too much speechifying by him.
As I agree with you about the 2004 version being very historically accurate, and I thought also will made. The one thing I thought that it lacked was a spirit and a pride that made you proud to be an American. And that was John Wayne’s version did for me just my opinion.
The 2004 rag was based on a KNOWN forgery! It was no more accurate than Snow White or Little Red Riding Hood!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Nice try ladies!
Anybody who cites John Wayne's Alamo as a historical source is a big FOOL! Did john ever serve his country? Here's comes the excuses folks!
You ain't from Texas. He's a freaking actor. No REAL connection, except in his mind.
Those who settled and defended Texas weren't from Texas either you dolt.
