HAPPY BIRTHDAY VINCE


Well today is Vince's birthday and in his honor I have researched a little John Wayne trivia. One of the most frequently asked trivia questions about John Wayne is, "In how many films did his character die?" The answer is a little more complicated than it may appear, because no one really knows how many films The Duke made. Estimates vary anywhere between 200 and 300, and many of his earliest films have been lost, so it is impossible to know an exact answer to the question. There are those who would dispute the inclusion of this film because Wayne's character doesn't actually die in the course of the film -- he is already dead before the film begins. The movie begins with Wayne's funeral and is told in an extended flashback.
So with that Happy Birthday Vince!

It's a good thing this is a typing blog and doesn't have sound files... I know, Amy will probably figure out how to add sound files. :) Hope you had a wonderful birthday Uncle Vinny!

Love you!
