Hollywood Stories: Short, Entertaining Anecdotes About the Stars and Legends of the Movies!

“At high noon on a cold November day in 1974, sixty-seven-year-old John Wayne faced off with the
staff of the Harvard Lampoon on the famous campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The students
had issued their challenge by calling the beloved American icon a fraud. Wayne, who had his new
movie McQ to promote, responded by saying he would be happy to show his flm in the pseudo-
intellectual swamps of Harvard Square. After the screening, without writers, the former USC
footballer delivered a classic performance. When one smart young man asked where he got his
phony toupee, Wayne insisted the hair was real. It wasn’t his, but it was real. The appreciative
underclassmen loved him and after the Q and A session, they all sat down to dinner. Later Wayne,
who was suffering greatly from both gout and the after effects of lung cancer (sadly the Duke only
had fve years to live), said that day at Harvard was the best time he ever had.”
