“The Shootist,” released in 1976, was John Wayne’s final film, a fitting farewell built around a gunfighter dying on his own terms. Wayne played J.B. Books with a worn honesty, a man facing cancer and his fading era with the same iron steadiness he carried for decades. It felt less like a role and more like Wayne tipping his hat and riding off one last time. Follow @lonestarbeer another legend #americana #western | Truck Stop Chic
