John Wayne took on triple duty in The Alamo (1960)—directing, producing, and starring as Davy Crockett in this sweeping historical epic. A passion project over a decade in the making, Duke even invested his own money to bring the 1836 Battle of the Alamo to the big screen. The result? A bold, ambitious film that earned an Academy Award for Best Sound and a Best Picture nomination. Now on display at the John Wayne: An American Experience Museum in the Fort Worth Stockyards: Duke’s personal annotated script and a Stetson signed by the cast and crew. Tickets available at johnwayneae.com or at the link in our bio. Join us for National Day of the American Cowboy! Wear your cowboy hat and get $2 OFF admission to the museum on Saturday, July 26, from 9a–6p. #JohnWayne #TheAlamo #ClassicWestern #EpicFilms #FilmHistory
