John Wayne (born Marion Robert Morrison), nicknamed Duke, was a legendary Hollywood actor who played a key role in establishing and popularizing the western genre in American cinema. He started working in films as a scenery mover to put himself through college.
Morrison was sometimes referred to by other nicknames, such as Lizard King and King of Orgasmic Rock. Morrison developed an alcohol dependency during the 1960s, which affected his performances on stage. He died at the age of 27 in Paris, apparently from an accidental heroin overdose. No autopsy was performed, and the exact cause of Morrison's death is still disputed. Morrison is interred at PÃ¨re Lachaise Cemetery in eastern Paris.
