John Wayne and Kirk Douglas Never Saw ‘Eye to Eye’ While Filming Classic – My Blog

Although Kirk Douglas and John Wayne starred in the classic films “Harm’s Way,” “Cast A Giant Shadow,” and “The War Wagon” together,  there was a time when the duo did not see eye to eye with each other. 

According to Express, John Wayne was furious with Kirk Douglas while on the set of their classic “The War Wagon” due to Douglas being late to production one day. This was due to Douglas shooting a commercial to endorse Edmund G Brown, a Democrat, as Governor of California. This seemed to irk Duke because He was a lifelong conservative and supported the Republican candidate, who was Ronald Reagan. Wayne ended up being late the next day due to him shooting an endorsement commercial for Reagan.
Although there was tension on and off the set, eventually Wayne and Douglas did eventually get along. This is despite Douglas not referring to Wayne as Duke ever.
Even during a 1971 interview with DIck Cavett, Douglas did not put up with the discussion about Wayne’s controversial views on Native American land. Wayne previously stated, that a lot of people needed the land and “the Indians were being selfish and thought that they ought to have it.”

When asked about Wayne’s opinion, Douglas declared, “I don’t want to get involved in a conversation about John Wayne. I’ve made quite a few pictures with John Wayne, and, by the way, I’ve always called him John. Everybody calls him Duke. We have never seen eye-to-eye on a lot of things.”
Also during his interview with Cavett, Kirk Douglas stated he and John Wayne did not speak about politics. “We get along well, we never discussed politics. But he’s the first guy on the set. The hardest worker I’ve ever worked with. And I think he’s quite a character.”
Kirk Douglas Reveals Why John Wane Was the ‘Perfect Movie Star’ 
Also during an interview with Roger Ebert, Kirk Douglas stated that John Wayne was the perfect movie star. “I was in a lousy picture with him once, ‘In Harm’s Way.’ I used to think about John Wayne that he brings so much authority to the role he can pronounce literally any line in the script and get away with it.”
Douglas then said that in the duo’s “In Arm’s Way,” there was a line that he thought John Wayne couldn’t get away with. “It was ‘I need a fast ship because I mean to be in harm’s way.’ I thought, ‘Oh s—, I’ve gotta hear him say this line.’ But you know what? He said it. And he got away with it. Now that’s John Wayne…”
Douglas went on to proclaim that there is nothing wrong with a John Wayne movie. “I hate arty-farty pictures. What you always hope to make is a good, honest picture with balls. We did that with ‘Spartacus.’ That was the best big spectacle ever made.”

The incident reportedly took place in a bustling area while Jennifer Lopez was enjoying a casual day out. A man approached the singer-actress and crossed the line with his inappropriate request.

Lana Rhoades Reveals The Shocking Amount She Was Paid For Each Scene When She Was The Number-One Adult Film Star

Lana Rhoades has revealed the insane amount of money she received at the peak of adult film career.
Lana Rhoades has disclosed the earnings she received for each scene during her time in the adult film industry.
At 27 years old, Rhoades stepped away from the adult film scene just eight months after she started.

She has since leveraged her fame to openly discuss her past experiences.
During a conversation with Curious Mike, Rhoades shared her feelings of isolation and the absence of support or guidance when she entered the industry at 19.

She explained to the host, “There’s not really anything set up to protect girls that are young and vulnerable that don’t know how to say no or don’t have self-respect for themselves yet or care for themselves or love themselves because they’ve been through so much and are like taught not to.”

Rhoades also mentioned that she was often surrounded by older men in their forties who “know exactly like how to get you to do what […] they want to make them money.”
So, what was Rhoades making per scene? She refers to her earnings as ‘pickles.’

Despite being “the number one porn star,” her rate was “$1,200 for a sex scene,” Rhoades reveals.
She notes that many girls come from small towns and their families “probably don’t have money,” which can skew their perception of what constitutes a significant amount of money.

“I thought $100 at the time was like so much money,” she says.
“So getting $1,200 felt like a big deal.”

However, her perspective shifted when she met an influencer popular on YouTube and Instagram.
She realized that there were other ways to make money without being involved in sex scenes on camera.

This YouTuber was earning $15,000 just to post a photo on Instagram, an amount that dwarfed what Rhoades earned per sex scene.
She concludes, “The guys don’t understand what’s going on behind the scenes and then also people are like, ‘Oh you knew what you got into’ and you get backlash for talking out about it.

“I think it’s because men like consuming porn and they don’t want to feel guilty for consuming it and so they don’t want to hear that I felt the way that I felt.”
Rhoades has not only criticized the industry but has also expressed that she believes it should be illegal.

Since exiting the industry, she has embraced her role as an influencer and has launched her own clothing and lingerie line.
