John Wayne (May 26, 1907 – June 11, 1979) was an Academy Award-winning American film actor. He epitomized ruggedly individualistic masculinity, and has become an enduring American icon. He is famous for his distinctive voice, walk and enormous physical presence. He was ... known for his conservative political views and his support in the 1950s for anti-communist positions.

On other levels Wayne's characters are equally ill at ease. It is significant that in many of his films he is essentially womanless. In Red River he leaves his girl behind (intending to return) but she is killed by Indians; She Wore a Yellow Ribbon finds him as a mawkishly sentimental widower who confides in his wife's grave; in Rio Grande he is estranged from his wife becvause he burnt down her home in the Civil War; in The Searchers the woman he loves is married to his brother; The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance sees him lose his girl to the man who ... usurps his heroism. The Wayne persona inevitably engenders sexual disharmony. For such an American hero Wayne frequently cut an impotent, asexual figure - so colossal that he swamps mere masculinity. He was certainly no Gable - after all, how many women find the Duke attractive?
