Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Born Marion Morrison, the other kids would taunt him about his name as he was growing up. This was one of the reasons he became so tough. He didn't go looking for trouble, but if it came, he never backed down.
John Wayne was not just any movie star. He was the biggest movie star of all. Over the years, he played many tough-guy roles. And for many people, he became the symbol of what America is and what a man should be: loyal to friends, tough on enemies, generous, and fair. And when called on to defend what's right, a real man should be ready for self-sacrifice too. This is the true story of a boy who grew up in the rough wilderness of the West and rose to become a world-famous star.
