Career Highlights
Wayne was raised in California since the age of four. He attended the University of Southern California where he also played for the USC Trojans Football team. A bodysurfing injury ended his athletic career and Wayne was forced to withdraw from the University. In 1930, Wayne starred in his first feature role in The Big Trail. He went on to star in over 150 films, most notably Stagecoach, Sands of Iwo Jima, and True Grit. Wayne battled lung cancer, having surgery in 1964 to remove his left lung. His cancer returned in the late 1970s ultimately leading to his death. -
