John Wayne died more than thirty years ago, but he remains one of the five favourite movie stars of contemporary audiences. Yet, there has never been a comprehensive biography worthy of the man as well as the star. Until now. The beloved Hollywood icon comes fully to life in this complex portrait by a master biographer whose skilful prose has been hailed as 'outstanding' and 'compulsive reading' by reviewers from The New York Times to The Hollywood Reporter. Exploring Wayne's early life with a difficult mother and a feckless father, Eyman makes startling connections to his later days as an anti-Communist conservative, his stormy marriages to Latina women, and his notorious - and surprisingly long-lived-extra-marital affair with Marlene Dietrich.
