John Wayne
Wayne was at the top of the world for over thirty years, but before that, he had no idea what to do with his life. He lost a football scholarship due to an injury, and he didn't have enough money to go anywhere else. He had no skills outside of sports, so he asked around for some help from friends...
Working His Way Up
Wayne worked odd jobs here and there until he landed a full-time gig working in the prop department at Fox Studios. Wayne wanted to go back to school, but after some careful consideration, he decided to stick at his job because he was making good money and connections. After a while, the young, handsome John Wayne befriended the legendary director John Ford and was cast in his first film, Stagecoach.
