To me it's one of his most shocking on screen deaths cause it's so sudden and unexpected. I don't think most people realize or remember that Waynes character in "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" is actually dead at the beginning of the movie. The story being told in flashback. It's an offscreen death and the only one I can think of where his character dies of (presumably) natural causes. |

Plus you could argue that his wounds prior to the shotgun blast were fairly fatal as well.

Re The Cowboys, Laura Dern has said that she was uninvited to parties when her dad killed John Wayne.

There was one western movie about a gay cowboy which was unusual.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

John Wayne is known to have used some homophobic slurs in reference to Drugstore Cowboy so apparently he saw subtext there. I've never seen Drugstore Cowboy but that's bold talk for a guy named Marion. I love John Wayne's movies and the story about him beating up Sinatra's bodyguards but he said a few really stupid things IRL.
