BK 13 DUKE LIFE & IMAGE OF JOHN WAYNE BY RONALD DAVIS #21009853 D2 SEP25Almost two decades after his death, John Wayne is still Americas favorite movie star. More than an actor, Wayne is a cultural icon whose stature seems to grow with the passage of time. In this illuminating biography, Ronald L. Davis focuses on Waynes human side, portraying a complex personality defined by frailty and insecurity as well as by courage and strength. Davis traces Waynes story from its beginnings in Winterset, Iowa, to his death in 1979.

Almost two decades after his death, John Wayne is still America’s favorite movie star. More than an actor, Wayne is a cultural icon whose stature seems to grow with the passage of time. In this illuminating biography, Ronald L. Davis focuses on Wayne’s human side, portraying a complex personality defined by frailty and insecurity as well as by courage and strength.

Davis traces Wayne’s story from its beginnings in Winterset, Iowa, to his death in 1979. This is not a story of instant fame: only after a decade in budget westerns did Wayne receive serious consideration, for his performance in John Ford’s 1939 film Stagecoach. From that point on, his skills and popularity grew as he appeared in such classics as Fort Apache, Red River, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, The Quiet Man, The Searches, The Man who Shot Liberty Valance, and True Grit. A man’s ideal more than a woman’s, Wayne earned his popularity without becoming either a great actor or a sex symbol. In all his films, whatever the character, John Wayne portrayed John Wayne, a persona he created for himself: the tough, gritty loner whose mission was to uphold the frontier’s--and the nation’s--traditional values.

To depict the different facets of Wayne’s life and career, Davis draws on a range of primary and secondary sources, most notably exclusive interviews with the people who knew Wayne well, including the actor’s costar Maureen O’Hara and his widow, Pilar Wayne. The result is a well-balanced, highly engaging portrait of a man whose private identity was eventually overshadowed by his screen persona--until he came to represent America itself.

Not for Oily / Combo skin types
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
The product smells nice, doesn't leave a greasy feeling on my skin. It's easy to spread and seeps right into my skin. I've had bad luck with sunscreens and so far this one has been nice on my sensitive skin. The quality of the bottles is odd, or at least that was my first impression. It feels cheap. Maybe that's just how this product is. ------ ****EDIT: I made this review back when my "skin care routine" consisted on NOTHING but salicylic acid cleanser and this sunscreen every other day, whenever I remembered to apply it. My skin was DRY and this sunscreen felt like heaven when applied on my screen. I recently started actually looking after my skin and added a moisturizer and retinol to my routine. My skin is now hydrated and soft. Now, I'm having to switch to a different sunscreen because this one can no longer be fully absorbed by face. It leaves a nice glow but also an unfortunate greasy feeling on my skin. I also forgot to point our last time that it does leave a white cast, but it goes away after a few extra seconds of rubbing it in. I still think this is a good product! Just make sure you have the right skin type (dry) for it.

Good sunscreen
This sunscreen works well, and has coconut oil base, which is good for your skin. The cans have an adequate amount in them, but I would also like to see something twice their size, if that's possible.
