I came out of the blackout to hear the Old Man, Mr. Ford, yelling and there was general hysteria – My Blog

Actor John Wayne put himself in harm’s way on several movie sets, including She Wore a Yellow Ribbon. It’s one of his favorite performances of his career, but he didn’t earn an Oscar nomination for his work. Wayne once recalled when he blacked out and nearly died on the set of She Wore a Yellow Ribbon. As a result, the entire set broke out into a scene of chaos that truly stuck with him.

Wayne brought John Ford’s She Wore a Yellow Ribbon to his friend Howard Hughes’ RKO for both funding and distribution. However, they never expected the movie would bring as much controversy as it did behind the scenes. Marc Eliot’s American Titan: Searching for John Wayne took a look at the film’s production, which put Ford into a troublesome spot.
The opening shot features a flag of the Seventh Cavalry with the words “Custer Is Dead” printed on the screen, informing the audience that it’s a follow-up to Fort Apache. Ford suggested that Noble Johnson’s Chief Red Shirt should wear a bright red shirt. As a result, Hughes blew up with anger. Ford pointed to the fact that it was shot in color, but Hughes suggested that it meant the director was sympathetic toward Native Americans in the movie and Communists in Hollywood.
Wayne thought that Ford was pushing the limits a bit too far and so did the hard right, who called his film He Wore a Deep Red Ribbon.

Eliot pointed out that the She Wore a Yellow Ribbon set was quite difficult for Wayne. He almost died during production. The cinch belt on his saddle loosened, which threw him off of his horse during the scene where he waves his blue coat at the Native Americans.
“I hit the ground,” Wayne recalled. “Hit my head. Blacked out. Now there’s about 50 horses tear-assing at me. I came out of the blackout to hear the Old Man, Mr. Ford, yelling and there was general hysteria, but a wrangler with guts, he ran out and headed off the stampeding horses, which were within about a few feet of stomping me to death.”
American Titan: Searching for John Wayne claimed She Wore a Yellow Ribbon a success, grossing nearly $10 million at the worldwide box office. As a result, the movie marked a huge comeback for Ford and another huge hit for the Western actor.
However, Wayne was tired of playing older characters in “complex” movies. He wanted to return to a simpler project playing a character closer to his real age, which is why he signed up for The Fighting Kentuckian. It’s a romantic adventure that was one of his few financial failures of the time, making it a lesser-known work of his.

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.”

‘Australia’s most sexually active woman’ reveals outrageous bedroom goal for 2025

A woman who has been dubbed the “most sexually active woman” in Australia has set her sights on a big goal for 2025.

You’ve probably heard of Bonnie Blue and Lily Phillips attempting to break outrageous records in the bedroom – and Annie Knight has now thrown her hat into the ring too.

“When I watched that clip of Lily crying and everyone was saying, ‘Oh my god, this poor girl,’ I just thought, well, she’s been getting railed all day by 100 different guys… imagine putting your body through that,” Knight told Metro.

“Yes, it’s emotionally taxing, but isn’t that like any job?” she added. “Everyone has moments where they’re like, ‘I don’t know if I can do this anymore.’ You do get really stressed. She’d be exhausted; her body would be exhausted. When you’re tired, your emotions are high.”

Knight also noted that some of the men involved in Phillips’ session were reportedly rude to her, emphasizing that dealing with negativity can be challenging in any profession.
