#3876S- 37¢ John Wayne: Mint - sheet of 20

Perhaps no actor typifies American cinema more than John Wayne (1907-1979). Known as "The Duke", Wayne appeared in over 170 films in a career spanning six decades. Standing 6'4" tall, Wayne's break came in the 1930 western "The Big Trail", and it was 1939's "Stagecoach" that made Wayne a top box office attraction. While primarily known for his westerns, Wayne's larger than life image worked well in leadership roles that symbolized American values and ideals. His enduring status as an iconic American earned him two of the nation's highest civilian decorations: the Congressional Gold Medal and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. US #3876 sheet of 20
