Happy Heavenly Birthday to Dean Martin! 🎉🎂

Here’s a fun moment with Dean Martin (Dino Paul Crocetti) and John Wayne (Duke Morrison) cooking spaghetti on set during a break while filming The Sons of Katie Elder on January 1, 1965. 🍝 The Duke and Dino shared the screen in two films together: Rio Bravo (1959) and The Sons of Katie Elder (1965).

Which of these two iconic films is your favorite? Let us know in the comments!

Duke and Dino’s friendship lasted a lifetime—vacationing together and even taking family trips aboard Duke’s converted Naval minesweeper, the Wild Goose.

Gifts and personal correspondence between Duke and Dino are on display at the John Wayne: An American Experience Museum in the historic Fort Worth Stockyards, Texas. Please visit johnwayneae.com to purchase tickets!
