Patrick Wayne Biography
Born: July 15, 1939
The son of actor John_Wayne, Patrick Wayne made his earliest film appearances at 14, playing bits in The_Quiet_Man (1953) and The_Sun_Shines_Bright (1953), both directed by "the Duke"'s mentor John_Ford. The younger Wayne's first real film role was in Ford's The_Long_Gray_Line (1955); the following year, as Lieutenant Greenhill, Wayne acted opposite his father in The_Searchers (1956). After attending Loyola University, he was given an opportunity to co-star in The_Young_Land, a film which neither starred his dad nor was directed by John_Ford. He wasn't bad, but he wasn't ready for stardom just yet, so it was back to supporting parts in The_Alamo (1960), Donovan's_Reef (1963), McClintock (1963), Cheyenne_Autumn (1965), The_Green_Berets (1968) and Big_Jake (1971). On his own, Patrick Wayne played leads in the special effects-laden adventures People_That_Time_Forgot (1977) and Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger (1977), co-starred on the TV series The Rounders (1965) and Shirley (1979), and hosted the syndicated variety weekly The Monte Carlo Show (1980).
