how old was john wayne when he made she wore a yellow ribbon
She Wore a Yellow Ribbon Director Ford initially was uncertain who to cast in the lead role. However, he knew that he did not want John Wayne for the part—considering, among other factors, that Wayne would be playing a character over twenty years older than he was at the time. Reportedly, Wayne's 1948 performance in Red River changed Ford's mind, causing him to exclaim, "I didn’t know the big son of a bitch could act!"[8] Ford realized Wayne had grown considerably as an actor, and was now capable of playing the character he envisaged for this film. When shooting was completed, Ford presented Wayne with a cake with the message, "You're an actor now."[9] The role also became one of Wayne's favorite performances.[9] Wayne, himself, felt that his Academy Award nomination for Best Actor of 1949 should have been for She Wore a Yellow Ribbon instead of Sands of Iwo Jima.
Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry There is the assumption that film developers thought the Dodge Charger was actually bright yellow and so "corrected" the film negatives to eliminate the greenish tint on the car. In fact, the entire movie in theaters, TV and on VHS was originally very warm toned. The color was more correct in the 2005 DVD release (and later Blu-ray releases) and the Dodge Charger became the correct limegreen color (Sometimes falsely considered to be the 1971 Chrysler color "GY3 Curious Yellow / Citron Yella" - a color that is actually a very bright yellow in natural sunlight - and not greenish.). A newer image of apparently one of the actual (unrestored) movie cars spotted in a backyard confirms the color to be limegreen and not yellow or "curious yellow". Given the custom look of the car, with custom wheels and tires, custom stripe, vinyl roof moldings but no vinyl roof, one can assume the limegreen color is custom as well and may not be a factory Chrysler/Dodge color - although, the car's color looks close to the Dodge color "Sublime" (code FJ5).
