Ultimate Fan Quiz - John Wayne
The Duke was one of Hollywood's most prolific stars. With more than 100 films to his credit, even die-hard fans may not have seen the entire library of his work. So you'll have to search deep in your memory, Pilgrim, if you're going to win a DVD of The Longest Day, John Wayne's D-Day classic. The prize will go to the first person to correctly answer all
15 of these questions. In addition, the winner will
be profiled and crowned the Ultimate John Wayne fan in an upcoming
blog entry.
The quiz will run from Friday, April 25 to Friday, May 2 at
midnight. The winner will be announced shortly afterward. (Make sure we
have your correct name and email in your profile so we can contact you
to deliver your prize.)
