On this day in 1979 John Wayne died. I'm sure that most of you will have heard of him but I've been told off about expecting people to know who the people I mention here are (I had Jon and Graham rather puzzled once when I mentioned the Prince of Wales once without an explanation) so here goes; Wayne was a Hollywood actor who stared in hundreds of films, mostly Westerns, the most well known being True Grit. From a Fortean point of view though Wayne is most interesting due to the fact that many think he said “Get off your horse and drink your milk.” which he never said on screen. Similar false quotes are attributed to William Shatner “Beam me up, Scotty!” and Michael Caine in the film Zulu “Dahn't yoo frow those ruddy spears aht me!” (that last quote isn't misspelled but an attempt to convey the cockney dialect in print)
