Still the greatest western hero and movie star of all time! Come meet with Duke’s friends, family and co-workers as we celebrate his continued popularity with stories of his accomplishments and his films. Join us for the Autry’s annual birthday tribute to our enduring western icon, John Wayne. Of course, we’ll talk about other westerns, too. Plus, surprises and prizes.

To accomodate the always overflow patrons and fans, our program will take place in the spacious Wells Fargo Theater. Doors Open at 10:30am. The program A WORD ON WESTERNS will begin at 11am in the Theater with a performance featuring Will Ryan and The Saguaro Sisters. Don’t be late!

Scheduled to join us for interviews are:

Family members actor PATRICK WAYNE and Duke’s granddaughter ANITA WAYNE LA CAVA SWIFT.

Popular actors ROBERT CARRADINE and PAUL KOSLO, both co-stars of John Wayne.

And prolific author/historian CHRIS ENSS.

After the program, continue the conversation over lunch at the Autry’s Crossroads West Cafe.

Yes, next Wednesday will be special! It’s always fun to hear the rare behind-the-scene stories about the making of some of your favorite westerns. Don’t miss out!

Below are some links to a few of our past interviews, new episodes are posted each week on YouTube, and a song about John Wayne, “Singing Sandy,” written exclusively for A WORD ON WESTERNS by Will Ryan and performed by Will and the Saguaro Sisters. Yee-ha!
