The Duke

John Wayne
                                               Was a handsome swain.
                                            Westerns were his specialty.
                                           On a horse with a gun he'd be.

He wasn't bad as a soldier or a detective either. There will never be anyone like Marion Michael Morrison again. Did you know he turned down the offer to play Harry Callahan in "Dirty Harry"?
