John Wayne, pseudonimo di Marion Robert Morrison (Winterset, 26 maggio 1907 – Los Angeles, 11 giugno 1979), è stato un attore statunitense. Soprannominato Duke (Duca), cominciò la carriera con il cinema muto negli anni venti, diventando poi fra gli anni quaranta e gli anni settanta uno degli attori più famosi del mondo, celebre soprattutto per i suoi film western, ma anche per molti altri ruoli in generi differenti. Si identificò nel ruolo dell'eroe senza macchia e senza paura, rude ma generoso ed è considerato una leggenda del cinema: l'American Film Institute l'ha inserito al tredicesimo posto tra le più grandi star della storia del cinema.
