On screen or off? I kind of like the story of him pissazzed drunk standing on the roof of a private club throwing balls from the pool table at passing traffic. But that's just me.
Is that the John Wayne you admire?
Another off screen story has him being challenged at a party (by Errol Flynn, I believe)
to stand toe to toe on a sheet of paper and punch Flynn. Flynn wagered he couldn't.
Wayne took him up on it. Flynn went over to a nearby room, put the paper down where
the door would shut, shut the door and the party crowd giggled. Wayne stepped on
his half of the paper and punched Flynn through the door.
