John Wayne: The Playboy Interview (Singles Classic)
In mid-1962, Playboy founder Hugh Hefner was given a partial transcript of an interview with Miles Davis. It covered jazz, of course, but it also included Davis’s ruminations on race, politics and culture. Fascinated, Hef sent the writer—future Pulitzer-Prize-winning author Alex Haley, an unknown at the time—back to glean even more opinion and insight from Davis. The resulting exchange, published in the September 1962 issue, became the first official Playboy Interview and kicked off a remarkable run of public inquisition that continues today—and that has featured just about every cultural titan of the last half century.To celebrate the Interview’s 50th anniversary, the editors of Playboy have culled 50 of its most (in)famous Interviews and will publish them over the course of 50 weekdays (from September 4, 2012 to November 12, 2012) via Amazon’s Kindle Direct platform. Here is the interview with the actor John Wayne from the May 1971 issue.

As a young boy I loved to watch the Duke. I still do. This story provided a greater insight into his beliefs. I always believed John Wayne to be great. While surely not perfect he still commands respect.

Interesting
I don't agree with all of John Wayne's statements, but he was an educated and experienced man. A lot of what he said is still true to this day.

John...Where Be Ye Now?
A true American with all his success and failings. You do my lie. You keep your word. You do not allow someone to place hands upon your person. You fight for your freedom until death. There are no moral uncertainties. Only right and wrong.
