John Wayne and James Arness. – My Blog

Thanks to a wonderful friendship and a recommendation, John Wayne helped James Arness land the role of Marshal Matt Dillon on “Gunsmoke.”Before getting to the “Gunsmoke” news, let’s take a quick look back upon the friendship between “The Duke” and Arness.Arness co-starred with Wayne in four different pictures, “Big Jim McLain” in 1952, “Hondo” and “Island in the Sky” in 1953, and “The Sea Chase” in 1955. All of this is according to an article from ME.tv.

James Arness Can Thank John Wayne For Iconic TV Role

In 1955, “Gunsmoke” was making a move from radio into TV. This was during what some people term as TV’s “Golden Age” because so many shows aired in black-and-white during those times.The show itself already had an audience from its long-running radio presence. Actor William Conrad, best-known as private detective Bill Cannon from CBS’ series “Cannon,” was the radio voice of Dillon. He was up for the TV role along with, wait for it, Wayne.


But Wayne apparently didn’t want to go away from his growing movie career. Therefore, he suggested the show’s producers take a look at his friend Arness for the lead role.History tells us the rest of the story. Arness became Matt Dillon, portraying the tough law-keeping marshal for 20 seasons on CBS. “Gunsmoke” happened to be one of those network TV shows starting out in black-and-white before turning to color episodes once they became more prevalent.

The friendship between Wayne and Arness also takes another twist. Both men shared the same birthday. Wayne was born on May 26, 1907, while Arness was born on May 26, 1923.Just how tight were these two Western stars? Well, Wayne, who made some TV appearances, took time out of his film schedule to formally introduce Arness and “Gunsmoke” to CBS viewers in 1955.It’s truly rare when something like this takes place. I mean, it’s John Wayne we’re talking about here…not just any other actor. This is a special moment where Wayne gives his buddy James Arness a nice boost to new TV viewers for “Gunsmoke.”

Let’s jump into the time machine and take a look at “The Duke” introducing Arness before the first “Gunsmoke” episode on CBS.

Can you solve this puzzle?

### Puzzle Details:
1. **Frank says:** “I didn’t do it.”
2. **John says:** “Frank is lying.”
3. **Peter says:** “Frank is telling the truth.”

### Analyzing the Statements:
Let’s analyze the implications of their statements:

– If **Frank** is telling the truth (he didn’t do it):
– Then **John** is lying (since he claims Frank is lying).
– If John is lying, that means **Frank** is indeed innocent.
– **Peter** is telling the truth by claiming Frank is honest.

Thus, if Frank is telling the truth:
– Frank = Innocent
– John = Guilty (because he lied)
– Peter = Innocent

– If **Frank** is lying (he did it):
– Then **John** is telling the truth (as he says Frank is lying).
– If John is telling the truth, then Frank is indeed guilty.
– **Peter** is lying (as he claims Frank is telling the truth).

Thus, if Frank is lying:
– Frank = Guilty
– John = Innocent
– Peter = Guilty (because he lied)

### Summary of Scenarios:
1. **Frank is Innocent:** (Frank: Truth, John: Lie, Peter: Truth)
2. **Frank is Guilty:** (Frank: Lie, John: Truth, Peter: Lie)

### Conclusion:
– If Frank is innocent, John’s statement indicates he is guilty, which means Peter must be innocent.
– If Frank is guilty, then John is innocent but Peter must now be guilty.

**In both scenarios, we can determine that John cannot be guilty at the same time as Frank.**

Thus, the only consistent solution appears to be:
– **Frank is guilty.**
– **John is innocent.**
– **Peter is lying.**

Therefore, only one man is guilty, which is **Frank.**

Sydney Sweeney hits back at horrific body shaming comments on viral pictures with incredible response

Sydney Sweeney has posted an Instagram video which included body shaming comments

Sydney Sweeney has hit back at horrific body shaming comments she’s received online with an incredible response.

For famous faces, social media can be an extremely toxic place, and it’s why we’ve seen some celebrities reduce their online presence as a result.

Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney has become the subject of body shaming comments in recent times, and she responded to these on Instagram in the best possible way.

The actor posted a shot clip that began with screenshots of a bunch of body shaming comments she’s received online, including some calling her ‘quite frumpy’, ‘very chunky’ and ‘tubby’.

Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell discuss chemistry
After many screenshots of horrible comments were shown on screen, the video cut to Sweeney in her training gear at the gym.

The video cut to a sign that said ‘hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard’ as Sweeney worked hard with a trainer, struck a punching bag and even flipped a large tire in what looked like an extremely intense workout.

Many have flocked to the comments section of the Instagram video to praise Sweeney for her response to the trolls.

“I will never understand the hate in people‘s hearts when it comes to leaving comments like this,” one person commented.

A second added: “Ngl why do people feel entitled to talk about someone’s body specially someone you don’t personally know,” while a third remarked: “No one has the right or reason to make comments on anyones body, ever.”

Meanwhile, Lili Reinhart penned: “It’s always wild to see people publicly out themselves as pieces of shit with comments like that. You look incredible and your dedication to your project is very inspiring.”

The video actually concluded with the name ‘Christy Martin’ being shown on the screen, which is a nod to Sweeney’s upcoming biopic where she plays a famed female boxer.

Boxing fans will likely know Martin is a is a former professional boxer who earned herself the WBC female super welterweight title in 2009.

Sweeney has spoken previously about her process of getting into her movie character, telling The Los Angeles Times in March that she’s a ‘very hands-on collaborator’.

“I like being able to give ideas, be a part of it, help come up with solutions. It just changes the whole process,” she said.

Sweeney continued: “It’s so hard for me now to be on a set and not be able to help in any type of way and be able to take action. And being able to actually have a voice and have a valued opinion—it means so much.”
