The reason after John Wayne died , his grave was not marked for nearly 20 years . – My Blog

It’s almost fitting that John Wayne was buried under a tree. The unmarked grave was often a fitting end for a cowboy, like the many the actor played. A simple cross on some prairie trail.After he died in 1979, Wayne’s grave was unmarked for almost 20 years. For such a public figure, Wayne’s family held a private funeral for the actor. A line of security kept the prying public eye away while they mourned Duke Morrison.To preserve Wayne’s privacy and peace at the cemetery, the family decided not to put a name on his grave.“You want him to rest in peace. We didn’t want to make a shrine,” his son Ethan Wayne told the L.A. Times. “It’s more out of respect for the people that are out there. They don’t want their loved ones’ graves trampled on.”

Wayne is buried at Pacific View Memorial Park in Newport Beach on a hilltop near the ocean. The cemetery refuses to acknowledge the location of his grave. But you can find the directions online with a little searching. It is a fitting final resting place. For years, the actor lived in the area, often sailing around the water on his boat. The nearby airport even renamed itself in Wayne’s honor after the actor’s death.John Wayne Gets a Headstone


During the following decades, Wayne’s family have softened their stance in regards to fans visiting the actor’s grave. Finally, in 1998, his family gave him a marker. Rather than make a monument to the stars, they opted for a simple plaque with Wayne’s name and a quote from the actor.Additionally, the actor’s son thinks it appropriate that fans come and see his father’s resting place. After-all, so much of Wayne’s adult life was in the public sphere.
“I personally think it’s wonderful that people want to go see him,” Ethan Wayne said. “He was a public person. He had a relationship with his family. But he also had a relationship with his fans. His fans allowed him to lead his lifestyle… He spent probably three to four hours a day just answering fan mail. Every letter got answered. They like him. If they want to go see him, I think it’s wonderful. He had a tremendous impact on people.”

In the years that follow, several fans have made the pilgrimage to give their respect to the on-screen cowboy. But many still, don’t realize a Hollywood legend is buried nearby.

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.
