This actor headlined over 140 movies in his lifetime, an impressive record that can be chalked up to many factors.
The Big Picture Today, many lead actors pride themselves on scarcity. Leonardo DiCaprio, Sandra Bullock, and Denzel Washington have emerged as the rare movie stars in modern pop culture partially because they don’t inundate audiences with new movies. These performers can take years off in between movies and make people’s hearts grow fonder for their presence. Whenever they show up in a new motion picture , it’s a must-see event for the general public.
John Wayne and Westerns, an Inseparable Pairing When you think of John Wayne, you think of Westerns. The man and the genre are forever linked, the world of plains and tumbleweeds eternally affixed to Wayne’s silver screen persona. Of course, Wayne didn’t just headline Westerns as a leading man, thanks to roles in titles firmly set in the-then-modern world like The High and the Mighty or his infamous turn as Genghis Khan in The Conqueror.
While Wayne, in the wake of the 1939 hit Stagecoach, would eventually transform him into an A-list leading man, his stint as a star of cheapie Westerns in the 1930s is heavily responsible for his deluge of starring gigs. Later on in his career, Wayne used his persona as the default Western star to become a fixture of the genre, particularly when it came to movies directed by John Ford.
