John Wayne shared he lost a large amount of his fortune? – My Blog

John Wayne may have been one of Hollywood’s leading men. But he also had his struggles in both his personal life and also the financial department. In fact, the Duke almost wound up flat broke at one point in his career. This wasn’t early in his career either but after more than 25 years in the business. So how did Wayne lose vast quantities of his fortune? Well, Wayne and his manager made some bad financial investments.


The actor chronicled his financial woes in a 1962 interview with the Saturday Evening Post.“I suddenly found out after 25 years,” Wayne told the outlet, “that I was starting out all over again. I just didn’t have it made at all. Until last year I had a business manager who didn’t do anything illegal, but we were involved in many unfortunate money-losing deals. I would just about break even if I sold everything right now.”

What kinds of bad investments did the Duke make? Well for one, he betted on himself as a director. John Wayne wanted to make his passion project based on the Battle of the Alamo. As the old saying goes, put your money where your mouth is. And well, Wayne did just that. He invested a hefty sum of $1.2 million into the film. Likewise, several of Wayne’s friends also invested in the project.

According to the outlet, Wayne needed to make $18 million to turn a profit. But fortunately for the Duke, the film ended up making $20 million at the box office across its lifetime.John Wayne’s ‘Ϲսrѕеԁ’ Film .Of course, money or no money, John Wayne was probably glad to wash his hands of the film. Production on “The Alamo” felt like a curse of biblical proportions. As the director, Wayne quarreled to manage the film, which he also had to star in. The film seemed to suffer setback after setback.

For one thing, a heavy rain storm delayed filming early in production. We’re not talking about a little afternoon shower either. In total, the storm some 29 inches of rain. And that’s before the set garnered a reputation for wild rattlesnakes and scorpions.A couple of crew members ԁıеԁ in a car wreck. The publicity office caught fire, destroying all the necessary paperwork for the film. And then, 80 percent of the cast caught the flu during an outbreak during production.

Not to mention, an actor smashed his foot with a canon as well.And to top it all off, there was a murder at the heart of the production. An extra, LaJean Ethridge, was murdered by her boyfriend while they were working on the film. Wayne ended up having to shoot the film around a police investigation into the κıււıոɡ.But for his hard work, Wayne produced a classic that’s remembered today. And hopefully made back his lost money.

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’.

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.”

‘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.
