Stalin tried to kill John Wayne?! Looks like they even got into his dressing room! I don't know how trustworthy British tabloids are, but this is news.- http://www.TastyManatees.com

Many posts on this thread explain why this claim makes no sense.

Yeah. Thought it was fishy. 1943 was a little early in Wayne's career, and I couldn't see Stalin sending assassins to kill movie stars in on his ally's home soil. Still, would be interesting to hear the whole story behind the story on this.

I thought Stalin was a bad guy for killing 20M people and enslaving a country of 150M. But for this extra offense, he really is going to the ninth level of hell.
