Marion Robert Morrison -- a.k.a. John Wayne -- was born May 26, 1907 in Winterset, Iowa. To commemorate the occasion, the Encore Westerns cable network is presenting a day-long marathon of The Duke's movies, climaxing tonight with a rootin'-tootin' double bill of Chisum (7 pm CDT) and The Cowboys (9 p.m. CDT). Coming soon to a newsstand near you: The July issue of Cowboys & Indians, which will showcase a tribute to John Wayne on the 30th anniversary of his death.(BTW: Although many published sources refer to Wayne's middle name as Michael, Robert is what actually appears on his birth certificate. Honest.)
