20 years or so ago I happened to be in a small store in Costa Mesa, CA and overheard a conversation between a retired cop and the owner. A few years before the cop had stopped an older bald headed fellow driving a station wagon to ticket him for a traffic violation. The cop looked at the man's drivers license and tells him he looked familiar. The response was "Ya ever been to the movies?". The cop of course recognized the voice. lol. John Wayne had his real name on the driver's license. He used to live on the Back Bay in Newport Beach with his wife, Pilar. Oh - the cop said he let him go!
