| 7 | 7 | | symbolizing such traits as self-reliance, grace under pressure, |
|---|
| 8 | 8 | | resolve, and patriotism; and |
|---|
| 9 | 9 | | WHEREAS, Born Marion Robert Morrison on May 26, 1907, in |
|---|
| 10 | 10 | | Winterset, Iowa, he moved with his parents as a young boy to |
|---|
| 11 | 11 | | California; in 1916, while the family was living in Glendale, he |
|---|
| 12 | 12 | | began going by "Duke," a nickname that followed him throughout his |
|---|
| 13 | 13 | | life; and |
|---|
| 14 | 14 | | WHEREAS, In 1925, he began attending the University of |
|---|
| 15 | 15 | | Southern California on a football scholarship, playing offensive |
|---|
| 16 | 16 | | lineman; after breaking his collarbone in a surfing accident before |
|---|
| 17 | 17 | | his junior year, he withdrew from the university and found |
|---|
| 18 | 18 | | employment with Fox Film Corporation as a laborer moving set props |
|---|
| 19 | 19 | | and as an occasional extra in movies; and |
|---|
| 20 | 20 | | WHEREAS, While working at the studio, he met Wyatt Earp, who |
|---|
| 21 | 21 | | was serving as a consultant to Western film director John Ford, and |
|---|
| 22 | 22 | | he subsequently adopted some of Earp's mannerisms for his roles as a |
|---|
| 23 | 23 | | cowboy; and |
|---|
| 24 | 24 | | WHEREAS, The first film in which he appeared as the leading |
|---|
| 25 | 25 | | actor was The Big Trail, released in 1930; it was then that the |
|---|
| 26 | 26 | | studio gave him the screen name "John Wayne," which he would use for |
|---|
| 27 | 27 | | the remainder of his acting career; and |
|---|
| 28 | 28 | | WHEREAS, Starring in classic Western films such as |
|---|
| 29 | 29 | | Stagecoach, Red River, The Searchers, and True Grit, Wayne |
|---|
| 30 | 30 | | personified the archetypal cowboy who is rough-edged and |
|---|
| 31 | 31 | | plainspoken, but who is also capable of great warmth, kindness, and |
|---|
| 32 | 32 | | generosity; he won an Oscar in 1970 for Best Actor for his role as |
|---|
| 33 | 33 | | Rooster Cogburn in True Grit; and |
|---|
| 34 | 34 | | WHEREAS, Although best known for his Westerns, John Wayne |
|---|
| 35 | 35 | | starred in many movies in other genres, such as the World War II |
|---|
| 36 | 36 | | films Flying Tigers and Sands of Iwo Jima; and |
|---|
| 37 | 37 | | WHEREAS, Wayne was an avid supporter of the United States |
|---|
| 38 | 38 | | military and toured bases and hospitals in the South Pacific in 1943 |
|---|
| 39 | 39 | | and 1944 with the United Service Organizations; and |
|---|
| 40 | 40 | | WHEREAS, In The Alamo, his first film as a director, John |
|---|
| 41 | 41 | | Wayne played the role of Davy Crockett; the film won an Oscar |
|---|
| 42 | 42 | | nomination in 1961 for Best Picture; Wayne also directed and |
|---|
| 43 | 43 | | starred in The Green Berets, which was released in 1968 and which |
|---|
| 44 | 44 | | was set in Vietnam; and |
|---|
| 45 | 45 | | WHEREAS, Over the course of his acting career, John Wayne |
|---|
| 46 | 46 | | practically invented the Western hero by combining rugged |
|---|
| 47 | 47 | | masculinity with the courage to stand up to authority when |
|---|
| 48 | 48 | | necessary, the strength to match any opponent, and the |
|---|
| 49 | 49 | | determination to prevail against great odds; John Wayne endures as |
|---|
| 50 | 50 | | a cultural icon, and his films continue to appeal to new audiences; |
|---|
| 51 | 51 | | now, therefore, be it |
|---|
| 52 | 52 | | RESOLVED, That the 84th Legislature of the State of Texas |
|---|
| 53 | 53 | | hereby designate May 26 as John Wayne Day; and, be it further |
|---|
| 54 | 54 | | RESOLVED, That in accordance with the provisions of Section |
|---|
| 55 | 55 | | 391.004(d), Government Code, this designation remain in effect |
|---|
| 56 | 56 | | until the 10th anniversary of the date this resolution is finally |
|---|
| 57 | 57 | | passed by the legislature. |
