American film star of Westerns and war films for five decades, usually as a tough cowboy or soldier, in films such as Stagecoach and The Searchers. He won an Oscar for True Grit (1969).
Hong Kong and Macau write his name 尊·荣 (zyun¹ wing⁴), a Cantonese sound match, while the mainland and Taiwan both use 约翰·韦恩. His nickname 'Duke' came from his childhood dog, an Airedale called Duke.
