How John Wayne Almost Died Filming 'Circus World' Back in 1964

John Wayne loved Westerns. Out of his 142 film roles, 83 had him in some frontier-related role. The Stagecoach star often expressed his admiration for the popular genre, claiming it promoted morality and strong American values. Wayne also felt that Westerns promoted the masculine traits of honor, bravery, and self-reliance, which aligned with his philosophy. He would repeat these remarks several times, notably in a 1969 Time Magazine interview, where he stated that “The West is where a man could be a man.”
