Found some more family news today, Pilar is looking to sell her house in Fort Worth, Tx. See the article below.
Pilar Wayne, the widow of John Wayne, is trying to sell her Fort Worth, Texas, home for just $100,000 more than what it cost back in 1998.
The Peruvian-born actress, who was married to the Duke for 25 years until his death in 1979, has cut her asking price to $2.3 million, from $2.6 million when she listed it this summer.
The home is in a roughly 700-acre gated community, Mira Vista, in the southwestern part of the city. Ms. Wayne's current husband, Jesse Upchurch, chairman of travel-agency network Virtuoso, paid about $2.2 million for the newly built house on a half-acre in 1998, records show.
The 9,000-square-foot house has six bedrooms, one of which Ms. Wayne uses as an art studio (she sells her oil paintings). There's also a pool, a hot tub, an elevator and five fireplaces and it's adjacent to a Tom Weiskopf-designed golf course.
The couple live full-time in Irvine, Calif. -- not too far from Newport Beach, where the actor and Ms. Wayne mainly lived when not aboard his yacht, the Wild Goose. DeeAnn Moore, of Mira Vista Realtors, has the listing.

Sounds like it's in a very nice area, no pictures of the house/property.
