John Wayne Tribute - John Byner and Lee Marvin

[@heavyhaul8621]

We just didn’t realize how lucky we were at the time to have the great entertainment and comedians we did.

[@kurtb8474]

Yes. We were all fortunate enough to have seen these stellar stars in their prime. Times were good.

[@danielfronc4304]

Lee Marvin was one of the era of actors who went to war. He wasn't the type to give false praise. You can bet eveything he said was heartfelt and true to him.

[@humnmum]

Just loved the hissing "ssss" of Byner's John Wayne impersonation. All of his best impersonations were ingeniously absurd, a quality that not many "more accurate" impressionists could master.

[@wally1452]

This was great! We will never see anything even a little bit as it was in that amazing, wonderful time of Golden Years of Hollywood and TV. I wish I could find this whole TV show salute to John Wayne, headed up by Sinatra.

[@barrygioportmorien1]

What a great piece of film, Lee Marvin has always been a favourite of mine, as well as John Wayne.

[@cobaltace62]

That was a generation of actors that loved America. Lee Marvin was a Marine and a close friend of the Duke

[@briangoldy8784]

Wayne, .. Marvin......Sinatra.............Real Hollywood Stars...........Era gone...........but not forgotten............We have Film.. Thank God.

[@traviskrause8509]

The duke was a class act on and off the screen!!!

[@bobmcrae5751]

John Wayne was an unrepentant racist.

[@harrydm]

Lee Marvin...what an actor! Wayne too for sure. Time is passing so fast, people are forgotten, even the greatest.

John Byner was such a talented guy and gifted impressionist (wasn't he part of "Copycats?") - his Wayne is arguably the best ever. remember his show well and his many appearances in so many other shows etc

[@skiptowne61]

John just celebrated his 86th Birthday 2 days ago.

I saw this clip and was going to pass it by, thinking it would be just plain bad, but Byner and Marvin really pulled it off. Better than most crappy skits...like SNL for example.

John Wayne Died Just a Few Days After His 72nd Birthday In June 1979..Not The Greatest Actor...But He Made A Considerable Amount Of Great Films. Thanks John.

[@2_Trillion_galaxies]

I miss all the old guys, the seventies were great, the Duke looks unwell ,it must have been close to his time, I recommend you read his epitaph, it's quite profound ,it wasn't meant to be a political statement but with what is going on in the world today I believe it's quite poignant,

[@jamesanthony5681]

@@marylawson6060 Yeah, Byner did a great impression of Ed Sullivan back in the day. I'm not in the business, however, I can do a great Rodney Dangerfield. Some of those impressionists when I watch them now, 50-60 years after I originally saw them on Sullivan, Carson, Mike Douglas, etc., were not as good as I had remembered them. And that includes some of Rich Little's stuff.

[@ramsesismyname244]

When he was in good health and in a “public setting” JW was charming. When you ran into JW in the private sector he was an asshole. He was nasty as hell in Ridgeway, CO filming True Grit. Saw him in a grocery store and watched as an innocent asked him for an autograph... he went berserk. Screaming at the poor woman that “Am I not allowed a private life???!!!” All he had to say was no thank you and she would’ve left. Glenn Campbell was so sweet and friendly. The director always bought every child in the restaurant an ice cream when he ate. Never saw Kim Darby. Never saw Robert Duvall but JW was a particular asshat... repeatedly.

[@davehallett3128]

John byner was a great impressionist i wish he d done more on his show. But he never did get john wayne right rich little either
