Trivia: John Wayne's real name is Marion Robert Morrison

March 26th: Guess who can spell his name!!!!

We celebrate it with a video...enjoy!

Fun Fact: But back to True Grit (1969). Henry Hathaway used the backgrounds in such a way that it became almost a fantasy. Remember that one scene, where old Rooster is facing those four men across the meadow, and he takes the reins in his teeth and charges? Fill your hands, you varmints!

March 19th: Duke had a dentist appointment today, I am floored and amazing this kid is daily. I have NEVER seen him behave so good as he did for the dentist today. He showed thy hygienist how to clean a toy monkey and dinosaurs teeth, which he won't even do at home without a fight. He sat on his own and let the doctor poke around in his mouth and did what the doctor said. The experience was AMAZING!!!!

I would like to thank Duke's Teacher for the prep work on this, he just learned about teeth, as shared in February as their lesson....this is him...not amused, but it paid off by making the appointment easier.

"Not that I had thoughts of becoming a song and dance man, but, like most young actors, I did want to play a variety of roles." John Wayne

March 3rd: Duke and I were watching the Oscars and this happened. It was a challenge for Duke because he love to dance fast, for this song he had to get on his slow Jam. At the end he tries to get a partner to dance with him.

 

P.S. When Bette Midler performed Duke yelled at the TV  "Ma Ma!!" I will take that compliment!
