I heard that too and I looked at a couple sites and couldn't see that mentioned.

Leave it up to the MSM trying to diss a good man.

Proof please. Wayne was a B-minus actor with a second class studio in 1942. He was nowhere near as popular as Gable, Power, Fonda or Stewart, all of whom served. Wayne's star rose during the war while these others were overseas. His real star power built on that and grew in the fifties.
