John Wayne confessed ‘torturous’ times in interview from last ever day on set | Films | Entertainment
John Wayne’s final movie The Shootist hit cinemas in 1976, three years before he died from stomach cancer.
The 69-year-old starred opposite Lauren Bacall, James Stewart and Ron Howard as an old gunslinger dying from the disease, which he didn’t have at the time of filming.
During production, Duke struggled with the high altitude at the Carson City set, having had a cancerous lung removed in 1964 and having to rely on an oxygen mask.
