Actor John Wayne ([Only registered and activated users can see links]), who would have been 100 years old this year, made many historic motion pictures with legendary director John Ford ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) (The Informer ([Only registered and activated users can see links]), How Green Was My Valley ([Only registered and activated users can see links])). Among them were Stagecoach ([Only registered and activated users can see links]), The Quiet Man ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance ([Only registered and activated users can see links]).
John Ford's grandson, Dan Ford, who wrote Pappy: The Life of John Ford, sat down with Box Office Mojo to talk about John Wayne, John Ford and their extraordinary careers.
Box Office Mojo: Have you seen every John Ford movie?
Dan Ford: I haven't seen some of the really old ones.
Box Office Mojo: What did John Ford value most about John Wayne?
Dan Ford: What he liked about John Wayne was John Wayne. He was such an appealing, likable, fun guy to be around—a man's man. He was a sensational card player, like Ford, a big drinker, like Ford was, and they had a lot in common. They were outdoor guys, they both loved boats—they spent every nickel they had on their boats—and it was a personal friendship.
