Fellow Marine Aviator and Medal of Honor winner Joe Foss refused to let his autobiography be turned into a movie starring John Wayne himself because they tacked on a romantic subplot and turned down millions.

He also took on the NFL with the AFL and actually won unlike the USFL and XFL.

And had a broadcasting career with ABC for years.

Boyington let his biography be turned into a goofy tv show with unbelievable plot lines.
