"I have tried to live my life so that my family would love me and my friends respect me. The others can do whatever the hell they please.” – John Wayne

John Wayne was an American actor tuned pop culture icon during Hollywood's Golden Age. His name is synonymous with Westerns and war movies.

His career spanned from the silent era through until the “new” Hollywood. Wayne starred in over 179 film and television productions, 146 of which were motion pictures.

For over three decades he was one of the top box office draws, and for millions, he personified America's frontier heritage.

Aside from his on-screen accolades, the man known as The Duke was an incredibly polarizing figure. A hero for millions and a lightning rod for controversy.

This episode will take a more in depth look into the man that the Duke was off of the screen. In addition, you'll learn about a movie of his that's so bad, that just shooting it, may have led to his death.

As a featured recipe, Chef Money is preparing a pair of side dishes to accompany his "Dinner For the Duke." This time around, you get one of the Chef's personal favourites - Chef's Cornbread.

Cheers!
