John Wayne filmed "The Shootist" at Carson City House

That movie was amazing, full of iconic actors, Harry Morgan, Richard Boone, Jimmy Stewart, Ron Howard, Lauren Becall! Like an allstar game

John Wayne was my favorite actor , and still is . An American Icon! RIP Cowboy!!🇺🇸

An actor who was dying played a character who was dying. What a prophetic film for John Wayne. The most poignant scene in the movie for me is when John Wayne tells Lauren Bacall that he is taking himself into town for his birthday...that look on her face because she knows that he's not coming back...a real tearjerker. TY for making this video. 😪💕

God broke the mold when he made John Wayne. Never have we had such a fine American who loved his country and loved his work. I have watch "The Shootist" more than 50 times and I still love it. I get sad when the movie ends because I know that this is Mr Wayne's final work as an American Actor.

I was there, shook John's hand and watched the filming of two scenes! Mr. Wayne called me Pilgrim! Later in life I actually filmed a television commercial for the owner of the house who had a mobile home company. I was excited to actually film in that very house.... great memories!

John Wayne = A true American! The best actor this world has, or ever will see!

John Wayne the best!

My sister-in-law, now deceased, was John Waynes nurse when he was being treated in the hospital. The Shootist and The Searchers were in my opinion Waynes best movies. Third place would be The Quiet Man.

This is incredible!! Only John Wayne could do a movie like this!

I always thought The Shootist" was a cinematic auto-biography of all the western characters Wayne had played. He must have known he was near the end of his career, if not his life. Excellent movie.

I love John Wayne. One of my favorite actors. RIP John

Nobody topped John Wayne And nobody will

The Shootist is a great film (a good book as well). I can't imagine how they gave the illusion that the house was in the countryside - I looked it up on Google Maps (thanks for the address!) and it's not as if the area has been populated since then. Long before movies could be digitally manipulated. The same goes for the Carson City streets. I work in the film business and I was at the Oscars the night The Duke made his last public appearance. It was so moving - it was evident how ill he was. It was amazing to have been in the same room as him. I got to know Ben Johnston on a couple of films. He was backstage with him and was supposed to wheel him out in a wheelchair - he as seemingly too weak to walk. As he announced, he got out of the wheelchair and strode out to say his goodbye to Hollywood. As Ben put it to me, "He gave his best performance that night and nobody knew it -- he walked out there like John Wayne."

'the Shootist' is my personal favorite John Wayne film.

He did more for Mexican actors than any other actors thanks John Wayne.

You just made me feel reallllly old, lol. Tk you for uploading this on Duke. I'm about 10 yrs older than Ethan; used to see him at our NB bank a lot. Very respectful quiet young man. Mom used to see Duke shopping at Fashion Island or walking around Balboa a lot. Always a gentleman - kind, courteous, humble, a true Godly American man. Can't wait to meet him in Heaven. I named my only child after him from my fav Wayne character and movie - Ethan in The Searchers.

Thanks, we’ve been to Carson City several times but we never knew The Shootist was filmed there. Now we’ll have to go back again.

John Wayne was my Hero growing up. I still have the Newspaper from when he passed. I always tell people he was my real Daddy.

What a great man John Wayne was. Like many of us, a man not without faults who loved this country the USA! God rest his soul. 🙏
