QUESTION: I heard a story about John Wayne I would like your input as to weather there is any truth in it or not.
John Wayne and Frank Sanatra were staying at the same hotel, Sanatra was in the same room just one floor above John. Sanatra was having a party and was being rather loud so John called his room and asked if he could quite down so he could get some sleep. nothing happened so he tried agian nothing happened agian so he tried one last time to try and ask him to quite up but to no avail. so John went up stairs to Sanatras room were he was stoped by a body guard john punched the body guard walked in and turned off the music. john slept fine the rest of the night.
thats a cool story if its true please give me your input.
Answer Hello again David,
Although I have read that piece of trivia on two or three sites (the same wording copied from site to site), I have never seen, nor heard any concrete evidence that the incident ever really took place. My feeling is that it probably didn't.
