John Wayne on the Dean Martin Show in 1966. Dino asks Duke what he wants for his new daughter Marisa Wayne. “I’d just like to stick around long enough to see she gets started right. I’d like her to know some of the values that we knew as kids. Some of those values that too many people these days are thinking are old-fashioned. Most of all, I want her to be grateful as I am every day of my life, to live in these United States. I know it may sound a little corny, but the first thing my daughter is learning from me is the Lord’s Prayer and some of the Psalms. And I really don’t care if she ever memorizes the Gettysburg Address, just so long as she understands it. And since little girls are seldom called upon to defend their country, she may never have to raise her hand for that oath, but I certainly want her to respect all those who do. I guess that’s about what I want for my daughter Dean.” #JohnWayne #AmericanIcon #ClassicHollywood #DeanMartin #WesternHeritage
