re: #131 De Kolta Chair

John Wayne played Sherman in John Ford’s Civil War segment of How The West Was Won, though he looked nothing like him and, as usual, he was playing “John Wayne.” Not a bad performance, come to think of it, maybe because he was directed by John Ford.

Extra bit o’ trivia: The voice of Sherman in Ken Burns’ documentary The Civil War was that of playwright Arthur Miller.

Arthur Miller for Sherman. Ididn’t know that. Interesting choice. Sam Waterston did Abe right? Voice over choices for people we have no sound records of always interest me for these documentaries.
