Hi, Loren. I appreciated your recent article dealing with John Wayne. The essay was interesting and informative. I like the clear path to understanding a persona, rather than the truth, to define an American Hollywood Hero. It becomes interesting to realize that a man who refused to serve his nation, supported subjugation of American Indians, possessed disdain for Blacks, betrayed his fellow Americans to a pernicious government, and followed the path to favor his career over one that stood for true moral character, Spike Lee's opinion was right, nonetheless. Thanks for your research and scholarship on presenting Wayne in all his faults. Thanks, Regards.
