John Wayne wasn’t my first choice to play Will Andersen, the lead role in The Cowboys, which I directed in 1971. My first choice was George C. Scott. Wayne had been instrumental in the blacklists of the fifties and his politics were anathema to me – for this reason I was reluctant to work with him. But the studio, Warner Brothers, were very keen for me to go down to Mexico, where he was shooting at the time, and meet him. Eventually, I agreed. I discovered a man quite different from the one I’d heard about, a man of great warmth, which was inconsistent with his severe right-wing image. He disarmed me with his affability and won me over with his respect. He swallowed the movie whole, just loved it. The Cowboys might not have been the first film in which Wayne was shot, but it was certainly the first in which he was shot to death from the rear at the end of the second act, leaving a full 40 minutes of screen time to fill after his death. When you shoot an icon like that in such a brutal and sadistic manner, you risk antagonising millions of people, but he liked the idea, thought it was daring and unusual. And it paid off: by the time we were finished shooting, he believed the film to be his greatest performance. I’d heard all the stories of Wayne being grumpy and difficult to direct, but I never felt any of that. At one point he did overstep the bounds of his role as actor and tried to lead a scene on his own, but I quickly reminded him that when I offered him the part I was not looking for a co-director. He was very impressed with the fact that I stood up to him, this legendary giant who was beyond popular, and took to calling me `Sir’ for the rest of the picture. He said I reminded him of John Ford, who was also very tough on him and, coincidentally, a hero of mine

–From “Dear John… love, Mark: Sexist, fascist and a true friend,” Director Mark Rydell tells how he was won over by John Wayne, The Guardian, April 17, 1998. (Today is Wayne’s birthday).
