Big John

From the Associated Press: John Wayne has been honored on the 100th anniversary of the year of his birth with a larger-than-life bronze statue at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City. Sculptor Edward J. Fraughton said he modeled the 8-foot, 8-inch statue -- which the museum officially unveiled Saturday -- after the middle years of Wayne's career and tried "to portray him in a real epic form rather than as an individual in a particular film."
