# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born Marion Morrison in Iowa in 1907, he lost a football scholarship after a bodysurfing accident and drifted into bit parts at Fox. The Big Trail gave him a lead in 1930 but flopped; he spent the thirties grinding through B-Westerns. Stagecoach in 1939 made him a star. What followed was Red River, The Searchers, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Rio Bravo—142 pictures in all, most of them Westerns, all of them carrying the same square-jawed certainty. He won his only Oscar for True Grit in 1969, playing a one-eyed marshal at sixty-two. His last role was The Shootist in 1976, an aging gunfighter dying of cancer; Wayne himself had stomach cancer and died in June 1979, two months after his final public appearance at the Academy Awards.
