John Wayne’s Last Public Appearance is Nothing But Heartwarming – My Blog

Widely celebrated movie star John Wayne was and continues to be, not only a household name but a classic American icon. He is one of the greatest stars in Hollywood who has graced television screens. He has an unforgettable presence in more than 170 films and was among the top box office draws in a career that spanned over a whopping fifty years – though he is more usually remembered for his western-themed productions and roles.

Unfortunately, Wayne – who was also known as “The Duke” – passed away at the age of 71 after a difficult battle with stomach cancer, sending the nation into mourning for the beloved, American staple. While many fans turned to his incredible movie roles to remember him, his last public appearance continues to remain a sacred footage.John Wayne’s Last Public Appearance
Appearing at the 1979 Academy Awards ceremony at Music Center Pavilion, John Wayne was wonderfully introduced by TV personality Johnny Carson, who led the star-studded audience’s attention to a former clip of Bob Hope raving about Wayne’s incredible talent and irreplaceability.
As the clip closed, Carson encouraged the audience to offer Wayne a warm welcome. And they did just that! Wayne received a standing ovation the moment he entered onto the vibrantly lit stage.

A very gracious Wayne absorbed the crowd’s undying energy and kindly thanked them all.
“Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. That’s just about the only medicine a fella would really ever need,” Wayne beamed.
Wayne attended The Academy Awards, popularly known as the Oscars, to hand out the Best Picture Award to “The Deer Hunter.” Before he announced the award, Wayne noted that he and Oscar went back to the beginning together. “Oscar and I both came on the Hollywood scene in 1828.” He went on to address his illness, saying that he “plan[s] to be around for a whole lot longer.”Tragically, Wayne died a few short months later. He requested that his tombstone read “Feo, Fuerte y Formal,” a Spanish epitaph Wayne described to mean as “ugly, strong, and dignified.”John Wayne’s Long And Successful Career
Wayne enjoyed perhaps the longest and most successful career of any actor in film history. His breakthrough role came from a starring role in director John Ford’s “Stagecoach” in 1939. For nearly a decade, Wayne toiled in quite a few B movies, mostly westerns, for various studios. He even played a singing cowboy named Sandy Saunders among his several roles. During this time, however, Wayne began developing his man of action persona, which would serve as the basis of many recognized characters later on.
Wayne’s career as an actor took another leap forward when he worked with director Howard Hawks 1948 film, “Red River.” The film absolutely lifted him overnight to enormous fame and provided Wayne with an opportunity to show his talents as an actor, and not just an action hero. From then on, the Duke remained an outstanding performer. Wayne won his first Academy Award in 1969 for his role in “True Grit.”
To sum it up, Wayne’s vast filmography led to an equally massive impact on the movie industry. Today, he remains a respected personality in American film history, and his movies have been passed down through generations.
Author Ronald Davis said it best in his book, Duke: The Life and Image of John Wayne:
“John Wayne personified for millions the nation’s frontier heritage…he played cowboys, cavalrymen, and unconquerable loners.”

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.”
