Another article about the young marine, Bill Atkins, that appeared in Flying Leathernecks (1951) and is now a realtor. He has converted part of his office to a John Wayne Museum in Bowie, Maryland.
Memorabilia from John Wayne's Personal and Professional Archives will be up for auction in Los Angeles October 3 - 6, 2011. Items such as a True Grit eyepatch, his True Grit Golden Globe Award, his hat from Rooster Cogburn (1975) and other such items as costumes, scripts, and handwritten notes.

I have started a blog about classic movies, Classic Cinema by Newt. This blog is a little different than other movie blogs in that I put up entries on the lesser known stars and films. Most of the blog entries have a connection to John Wayne. The latest entry is about the film A Lady Takes A Chance (1943) starring Jean Arthur and John Wayne, it is a cute little romantic comedy. Besides this article is one on Elizabeth Taylor, I felt that with her passing, it deserved some notice. Besides the article on Liz Taylor I have posted entries on Gabby Hayes and Katy Jurado. These blog entries are separate for this newsletter, so please visit and give me your feedback. Also while you are there at the blog check out the links of my other stores at the bottom of the entries.

As always, be assured that the email address you used to sign up for this mailing list will NEVER be sold or given to any other party, NOT EVER! Forward this newsletter to your friends that might be interested in the Duke or have them sign-up here.
Your comments or suggestions are always welcome and encouraged. I am always on the look-out for John Wayne and/or classic film information to pass along in these little newsletters, if you come across any news on these subjects, please let me know.
Later Pilgrim,
Paul Newton
