I love watching Audie’s western movies and I have seen one of his war movies. He was a great actor and I believe that his real sense of self continually showed in each character he portrayed. I kind of wished that he and John Wayne would have done a western. It would have been the greatest western of all times. As a baby boomer I grew up seeing his movies and knowing about WWII and his history or rather his substantial legacy as a true hero. It was such a shame we lost him to soon, we could use more men like him in today’s shameful world. All cheers to one of America’s greatest hero ever. Admin reply: A lot of people thought Audie Murphy should have co-starred with John Wayne in "The Alamo." John Wayne happened to be the producer and director of that movie and the story is that John Wayne didn't want to be upstaged by Audie. John Wayne, as a business man, probably recognized that his star might begin to "fade" if Audie and he were ever cast side by side in a movie. That's the theory, anyway. Regardless, it was John Wayne's movie as the star, director, and the producer so he got his way. Added: July 28, 2020

I have loved Audie Murphy since I saw one of his Westerns in the late 1990s. He was truly an amazing man. I wish there were more people who knew of him. Admin reply: Cindy, I remember the first time I saw an Audie Murphy movie. I was a transplanted Texas 11 year old who had to move to New Orleans. I was so homesick it hurt. I saw on the marquis of the Saenger-Orleans movie theater on Canal Street the billing "The Texican" with Audie Murphy. I have been hooked ever since.
