What's New
"Bold talk for a one-eyed fat man!" That's what Robert Duvall said to John Wayne in his Academy award eye patch wearing role in True Grit and apparently little Tom Cruise was watching because he told David Letterman that he had trouble wearing the patch in his movie Valkyrie but then he remembered seeing John Wayne as a kid. " I got a little nauseous when I first put it on. I lost depth perception, I was banging into things, I thought of John Wayne on the horse, and what it must've been like for him. He made it look so easy." We think that's what John Wayne always did . . . make it look so easy.
Here's some movie eye patch trivia for you. Can you name three movie directors who wore eye patches? John Ford, Raoul Walsh and Nicholas Ray. Name two women who wore eye patches in movie roles. Daryl Hannah in Kill Bill and Angelina Jolie in Sky Captain and the World of tomorrow.
