The DUKE was no “Quiet Man” in real life - he cheated on his wives with co-stars MAUREEN O’HARA, MARLENE DEITRICH and MORE – book.
Movie legend John Wayne was famous as a two-fisted cowboy where his he-man character preferred knock-down bar fights to babes.
But in real life, he was a serial womanizer, who cheated on his wives with stunning screen sirens including Marlene Dietrich and his greatest love — Maureen O’Hara.
Still, he made no excuses, saying: “The guy you see on the screen isn’t really me. I’m Duke Morrison and I never was and never will be a film personality like John Wayne.”
The former college football star and father of seven kids with three wives didn’t have to chase gals, though — they hunted him.
