- John Wayne filmography (1961-1976)
The filmography of John Wayne from 1961 to 1976. John Wayne also acted in many films from 1926-1940 and 1941-1960.
Overview
In the 1960s and 1970s, John Wayne ranked as an American icon and one of the top box office attractions in the cinema. Wayne's output of films consisted largely of westerns but he also ventured into other genres as well, including several films dealing with World War II (notably "The Longest Day" and "In Harm's Way)".
Wayne's hawkish political views came under harsh attack from film critics with the release of "The Green Berets" (1968), which Wayne produced and directed as well as starred in. The following year, however, he would be praised by critics for his performance in "True Grit", which would earn him an Academy Award for Best Actor.
John Wayne made his last film, "The Shootist" in 1976, bringing an end to a remarkable career that spanned more than 50 years and over 180 motion pictures.
