He rode a horse to school, swam in irrigation ditches and worked alongside his father clearing sagebrush on their California farm land to plant crops, but John Wayne’s destiny was Hollywood, and it was there that he developed and nurtured his reputation as a western and military film hero and American icon.
Marion Roberts Morrison
According to the Ronald L. Davis book Duke, on May 26, 1907, the legendary actor, John Wayne, was born in Winterset, Iowa to Clyde and Mary Alberta Morrison. He was named Marion Roberts Morrison after his grandfather, Marion Mitchell Morrison, who fought in the Civil War, but nicknamed “Duke” after the family's Airedale terrier who followed him everywhere.
The Morrison family moved to Earlham in 1910 where Clyde Morrison owned a pharmacy. In 1914, the family moved again, this time to Lancaster, California. Wayne played football for the Glendale High School team. He also applied to the U.S. Naval Academy, but was turned down. He enrolled instead with the University of Southern California where he played football until he was injured and lost his scholarship.
