Présentation de l'éditeur :

"John Wayne: The Genuine Article" provides readers a rare glimpse into the life of one of the most iconic movie stars of all time through a treasure trove of memorabilia, stories, and interviews. This definitive book includes anecdotes from the Wayne family as well as incredibly compelling text from Wayne's unfinished memoir. Important milestones in the Academy Award-winning actor, director, and producer's life are also well documented here through anecdotes and photos from the John Wayne Enterprises' collection. The story of John Wayne's rise, reach, and influence in American culture is alive and well in this brilliant opus. With a foreword by Jimmy Carter and a preface by his son Ethan Wayne, "John Wayne: The Genuine Article" presents the complete story of how an ordinary man became a top box office draw for six decades, and a larger-than-life Icon known simply as the Duke. Previously published in an expanded coffee-table edition, this reprint makes John Wayne s moving biography available to a wider audience in both print and ebook editions."
